It is simply stupefying to me that these so-called "conservatives", who are not very conservative at all, hate gay people so much that they want to actually
amend the federal constitution in such a way as to guarantee that gay people never have equal rights.
This is simply ridiculous.
It is also very, very true that the Democratic party is going to hide from the issue. Here is when we watch the so-called "liberals" - who are about as liberal as the so-called "conservatives" are conservative - play duck and cover as they attempt to weasel, waffle, and spin their way out of taking the necessary stand on the issue.
The fact that America seems to be engaged in retrograde motion on the issue with respect to the rest of the civilized world - even Argentina, in the heart of developing-world Latin America has recognized a gay marriage - will go, as usual, unobserved by either candidates or media.
Here we go again. The progressive movement will be the ultimate loser, along with the hopes that America might catch up with other nations in terms of cultural development, despite the cultural speed bump we have here known as "the 'Heartland'".
