I'd Leave the Country, but My Wife Won't Let Me Bush Takes Aim at My American Family

I quit reading during the first sentence, where it stated "the president announced that my gay family should be banned by the U.S. Constitution". What a load of crap. They'll be living together the same way they have been.

I made it to the second sentence---something about wearing wool berets and sipping red wine.

"I want our politicians and religious leaders to stop going on television and suggesting that legalizing marriage for us would be like legalizing sex with dogs.

Hey, one dysfunctional sex fetish is no better than any other dysfunctional sex fetish. She's such a hate filled beastaphobe !!! Where's her tolerance for people just like her?

[Dallas59]

Good bye. Go to France. I'm sure once the Muslims take over your "family" will have to make another choice.

[philetus]

God doesn't join faggots together. Vasoline does.

[sneakers]

I just couldn't read past the first few paragraphs. Sorry, this is sick.

[RWR8189]

I hear France is really nice this time of the year...

"the president announced that my gay family should be banned by the U.S. Constitution."

Drama QUEEN....queer....er....KING?

"that ain't no marriage and you ain't no husband... and it wasn't God who "joined" you."

I felt the same way. And I am "hurt" that they get the right to say that FATHERS are so insignificant that they simply are not needed! That a kid is just as well off having two mothers, than a mother and a father.

These homosexuals are taking aim at ALL our families. They are firing a shot. We have to fire back. We have to fight and win this battle!

[tuckrdout]

The issue is NOT "marriage". The issue is the destruction of the foundation of our society. It is the forced removal of our traditions and heritage. This is an attempt to further cause chaos to society. To corrupt our children, and leave us weak. Immorality rots a nation from within, leaving it open to easy overthrow.

Homosexual behavior is a moral issue, just as promiscuity and adultery are. Religions have the right and responisibility to condemn immorallity. For the government to all of a sudden approve of immoral behavior...to make a MORAL judgment and actually legalize immorality, this act would take way our freedom of Religion. This would establish a religious opinion by the government and would PROHIBIT THE FREE EXORCISE of religion...our first guarantee of freedom! To pass a homosexual marriage law, is tandamount to taking away our freedoms of speech and religion.

Four years ago this fall, we stood before an Episcopal priest and were pronounced
married for life, for better, for worse.

With all apologies to the remaining rational Episcopalians...
THANK YOU G-D, for the ending of my relationship with a potential wife who I'd
probably have followed into the Episcopalian fold!

Sorry...it's just that the break-up was unpleasant. But as in the case of Joseph's travails,
"G-d meant it for good".

Yep. The communist warned us after WWII they'd destroy our society from within and rebuild it in their image.

Preview of life for a son with "two mommies":

One girl was called Jean Marie
Another little girl was Felicity
Another little girl was Sally Joy
The other was me, and I'm a boy

My name is Bill, and I'm a head case
They practice making up on my face
Yeah, I feel lucky if I get trousers to wear
Spend evenings taking hairpins from my hair

chorus: I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But if I say I am, I get it

Put your frock on, Jean Marie
Plait your hair, Felicity
Paint your nails, little Sally Joy
Put this wig on, little boy

chorus

Wanna play cricket on the green
Ride my bike across the street
Cut myself and see my blood
Wanna come home all covered in mud

chorus

"I'm a Boy", by The Who

From the article.... "I've fantasized about leaving this country since I was 12 years old,

Good news. We're you're friends...and we're here to help you pack.

[jscd3]

"I've fantasized about leaving this country since I was 12 years old

Live the dream, man, live the dream...

Four years ago this fall, we stood before an Episcopal priest and were pronounced married for life, for better, for worse. "Those whom God has joined together," the priest warned, "let no one put asunder."

Given that this was an Episcopal priest, one has to ask whether he was referring to a divine God, a didactic God or merely God as a John Shelby Spongian unifying social construct.

[kittymyrib]

Hell should have a special Roasting Room for Episcopal priests who have offended God in this hideous way. They encourage these obviously mentally ill people in their sin.

[quantim]

I want to be taxed equally.
 
Who wants to explain this?

[TADSLOS]

"Being married isn't all it's cracked up to be"

Yeah, especially if that's all there is.

[fight_truth_decay]

I want my Social Security benefits to go somewhere besides down the drain

Where should we start?
