And that is exactly what has been suborned in this process, Paul. It
was not a democratic process by the rules of the very government
that we subscribe to.

In an earlier post you called the Mormons "fundamentalist radicals."
And you accuse me of calling others names? How strange. I haven't
ascribed a name or an unfavorable adjective to anyone. I have many gay
friends, and when I worked in New York my partner was gay. He used to
take me shopping and pick out my clothes. I was very fond of him. But
this isn't about gay and straight, black and white, liberal and
conservative, or any other names. It's about a referendum and the
ballot box. It's about respecting the will of the people. "It will
fail, they will fail.," you said. Are you advocating violence against
those who don't share your beliefs?
I'm a nihilist for the most part. I don't believe in anything
dogmatically. But I'm tired of the endless tirades against
fundamentalist Christians, Mormons and anyone else who doesn't
subscribe to the code of the liberal secularists. And of course the
latter have become a religion in their own right. Four days after the
election, moveon.org ran a full page ad in the New York Times
reminding Mr. Obama of how much money they had raised for him and
telling him exactly what they expected of him. An agenda. From the
most pigheaded, most dogmatic religion in the United States.
I hope that my gay and lesbian friends get everything they want. But
at the same time, I hope that they honor the decisions that a
democracy makes at the ballot box.
