Top twelve reasons homosexual marriage should not be legal:
1. Homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth control.
2. Heterosexual marriages are valid because they produce children. Infertile couples and old people can’t legally get married because the world needs more children.
3. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
4. Straight marriage will be less meaningful, since Britney Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage was meaningful.
5. Heterosexual marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all; women are property, blacks can’t marry whites, and divorce is illegal.
6. Gay marriage should be decided by people not the courts, because the majority-elected legislatures, not courts, have historically protected the rights of the minorities.
7. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That’s why we have only one religion in America.
8. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
9. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
10. Children can never suceed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why single parents are forbidden to raise children.
11. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and we could never adapt to new social norms because we haven’t adapted to cars or longer lifespans.
12. Civil unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a different name are better, because a “seperate but equal” institution is always constitutional. Seperate schools for African-Americans worked just as well as seperate marriages for gays and lesbians will.

It isn’t the idea that science may be wrong… it isn’t that science may not have all the answers… we all know that those are both certainties…
These people don’t care about furthering scientific thought, or giving students a viable curriculum to study… they are hoping to push an overtly religious message. Period.
This isn’t evangelism. It’s pure silliness perpetrated by the most extreme factions of the Christian community. This is pure fundamentalism. No different than the Islamist fundamentalism that is decried in the same extreme right Christian communities.

Okay, maybe I’m not revealing the Republican agenda, but it makes for an eye-catching headline!
When John Roberts was nominated for Chief Justice, the right-wing mouthpieces made a strong assertion that talking about his faith as a “litmus test” for his future action on the bench would be equal to religious bigotry. No questions could be asked that related to his faith, and discussing it at all was off-limits…
Now that Harriet Miers’ nomination is on life support before hearings even convene, the hypocrisy clicks into high gear. Now, the right-wing mouthpieces, especially those of the religious (read fundamentalist Christian) variety are making sure to point out her faith, her church, and her born-again status.
Now, can the Democrats on the Senate’s Judicial Committee ask questions about how her faith will affect her opinions on vital cases that may come before the Court? Of course not… because if they do, they’ll be harpooned by the right-wing meda (FauxNews) and the right-wing online blog machine.
Stay tuned folks… if Miers’ nomination actually makes it to committee hearings, the questioning will be very interesting… If, by chance, her nomination fails, expect the next nominee to be a complete wingnut…

A recent poll shows that only 2% of African-Americans questioned approve of the President’s performance.
I’m not surprised that Africian-Americans as a group dislike the President… but only 2%? That’s unbelievable.
Another fine job for Dubya!
