  •  When the Democratic establishment of your state... (2.00 / 2)

    is getting on board with extending full maritial equalities to gays and the same day you're discussing the relative merits of the various constitutional amendments to outlaw gay marriage, you're a homophobe.

    Sorry if you don't see it that way.

    •  It's just that... (4.00 / 2)

      Using that word against Kerry in this instance cheapens the word.
      Do I disagree with Kerry?  Yes.
      Think it's a political calculation?  Probably.
      Know what he really believes?  No.

      But save the epithet for those who truly deserve it.  There are plenty.

    •  ugeek (none / 1)

      I could have given you a 0, but I know yr not a troll, so I gave you a one so the average would be marginal (2). Chill, dude, you're just overwrought. It's that SIFTB thang.  Whyn't you just enjoy the full rights and bennies and who cares what they call it?  All Marriages are Civil, at their root; preacher can say all he want, but without the paper from the civil authorities, it didn't happen, capisce?

      As an earlier commenter pointed out, over in the Diaries, if you read what JFK  said in it's entirety, he would support an amendment that gave equal rights to civil unions, which would, suddenly, make those full rights transferrable nationwide, whatever they were called. That was his condition for giving the Fundies the man/woman/marriage thing they so desparate for. You'd wind up with a Constitutional Right to form a family, live with and share all the bennies of a state of "marriage" called civil union anywhere in the country.  Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

      don't always believe what you think...

      •  Well thanks for rating me a 1 then. (none / 0)

        Why not.  I'm gay.  Yehaa!  I don't get to marry the person I want to.  I get kicked out of the hospital when my partner is sick instead of being allowed to stay.  I don't get to share social security, IRS regs, 5th Amendment rights, or any of over 1200 federal privileges or 700 state privileges.

        Fine.  Rate me a troll.

        But that post didn't deserve it.  You want a post that merits a troll rating?

        Here it is, you fucking pig.

        I'm beginning to hate heterosexuals and all their frigging special privileges.  If I dare to ask for equality, I get a "why are you making such a big deal about this?" or a "no special rights for gays" or a "you're ruining the Democratic party".

        Well fuck you.  You want overwrought?  Fuck you. Fuck you.  Fuck you.

        May you lose your rights and privileges.  May you come back next life as someone who's on the outside looking in.  May you know poverty and malady and injury and humiliation and pain.

        Now, NOW, troll rate me.

        And I'm out of here.

        Y'all have been troll rating me for logical and well intentioned posts for the past week.  I don't need you.

        Take your fucking candidate and go to hell.  May you all get the government you so richly deserve.

        I hope you all lose your "special rights".  

        See you in the death camps, when Bush is reelected or when Kerry shows his true colors.  See you in the death camps, pig.
