I know I have some wingers among my facebook friends. When they post their crap I just leave it alone. I thought I would post some of my own stuff to see what would happen.
I posted this gem.
within about 1 hour I got a comment from a friend.
(My Name Removed), just because someone, like myself, is very much opposed to "Gay marriage", doesn't mean we're ridden with fear and hate. This parody shows the incredible amount of intolerance of leftists. Ultra-liberals are always screaming that people should be more tolerant, yet, if you disagree with them they call you names and attack your beliefs. Case and point is how this video portraits a person who is against "Gay Marriage" as bigoted, ignorant, and Christian. That, per se, is ignorant and bigoted. My homosexual friends, whom I love dearly, know that I'm opposed to them getting married. However we can still 'break bread' together and agree to disagree without us attacking each other and calling names. Of course, as a conservative, I tried to join the 'Klan', (as mentioned in this clip), but with the last name of '(His Jewish Name Here)', they wouldn't allow my membership. (Bastards!)
My Response
(His name removed), Get over it.
This isn't an "Ultra Liberal" thing anymore... its mainstream.
Most younger people don't really care of people who aren't the same as them have all the same rights as everyone else.
People against gay marriage are on the wrong side of history. Hell even Iowa allows same sex marriage now. Its just a matter of time before this is the law of the land.
This is no more of a big deal than black people marrying white people. The same folks who were against that and fought it tooth and nail are against this. Yeah - they were bigots and racists. That wasn't that long ago --we were alive when black and white people couldn't marry some states.
Like I said... get over it.
I hope this is repeating itself all over. I didn't go after that fight (well maybe just a little), but I'll be damned if I'm going to be lectured to with those views. He could have just ignored my video. Obviously he thinks its still 2002, or even 1960. No... its not OK to talk like that anymore. If you do you should be smacked down. Damn, I forgot to mention how its never wrong when you discriminate against someone else (him - gay marriage), but its wrong when someone else discriminates against you (Klan).
Yeah this is more of a rant than a diary....
The conversation continues....
I'm against gay marriage, you're for it. There's nothing to "get over". What I was responding to wasn't your stance, it was that rediculous video that screamed hatred at me.
If it does become the law of the land, it would have done so AGAINST THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE as, even in California, it is CONSISTANTLY being voted against in many states ... Read Moreby DEMOCRATS, INDEPENDENTS, AND REPUBLICANS alike. It is the OLIGARCHY of judges that has ruled over the people. This is exactly what Thomas Jefferson freared would happen. I guess I'll just cling to my religion and guns. It is extremely naive to say that these are the "same folks" that were against blacks and whites getting married. That is just some propaganda.
my response
Obviously its important to you because you were motiviated to criticize it. So yeah get over it.
The video was a parody of this one made by the people who share your opnion.

I also liked this parody.

....and by the way
the legislature approved of gay marriage in Vermont not the courts. If it weren't for the courts we'd still have separate but equal. Like I said same bigoted racist people making the same bigoted racist arguments.
regarding your Klan reference... I guess its bad when someone treats you like less than a human being, but its OK for you to treat someone else like less than a human being, huh
but it really doesn't matter because you've lost this battle anyway. From the ultra liberal state of Iowa...

In not too many years from now you'll be embarrassed by your position.
