Political protests are one thing, but when old-fashioned bullying techniques that prompt fear of safety are used, activists have crossed a line. There is a difference between respectful dissent and advocacy for one's civil rights and demanding public endorsement of what many still consider "unnatural sexual behavior" through hate language and fear tactics. One thing is for sure: The days of peaceful marches like those headed up by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. seem to be long gone.
The truth is that the great majority of Prop 8 advocates are not bigots or hatemongers. They are American citizens who are following 5,000 years of human history and the beliefs of every major people group and religion – that marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman. Their pro-Prop 8 votes weren't intended to deprive any group of their rights – they were safeguarding their honest convictions regarding the boundaries of marriage.
On Nov. 4, the pro-"gay" community was obviously flabbergasted that a state that generally leans Left actually voted Right when it came to holy matrimony. But that's exactly what happened – the majority of Californians, red, yellow, black and white, voted to maintain the margins of marriage between one man and one woman. California is the 30th state in our union to amend its constitution in doing so, joining Florida and Arizona in this election, too. Like it or not, it's the law now. The people have spoken.

Norris can find peaceful marches at the Marches for Life. The pro-lifers marching are peaceful, anyway. The counterprotestors, in the other hand, can get a little rough. Funny, many are the same “tolerance-seeking” people who are protesting prop 8.
Imagine what would happen if conservatives acted like these radicals just because they “didn’t get their way” on election day.

He said what I’ve been saying.
It is also not right that people names and addresses etc are listed so these freaks and tyrants can get their hands on them. Thank McCain Feingold. Listing low level donations needs to stop! It is a violation of our civil rights to not have retribution for supporting the issues we believe strongly in. Thanks McCain for screwing us all. Our forefathers would be horrified. I am fed up with the violent and intolerant behavior of these facists thugs, but we must change some of these election disclosure laws as well. Faith without works is dead.
Yep. There was an earlier article too posted on this subject that was fantastic wish I could remember the title. I did comment on it so I may look back. It said alot of things but it also said if this gay marriage goes through it will make preaching against homosexuality a hate crime—in essence it is all about shutting the mouths of biblical churches.

We’d be jailed in seconds, accused of hate, thought, and face crimes.

Ever notice how free speech, free press, free religion never seem to apply to conservatives?
Definitely pingout material tomorrow.
Bttt.
Exactly. I am so sick of it.
What he's saying, between the lines? These specific protestors *hate* being told what to do or what not to do; but that they *love* telling innocent others what to do or what not to do.
This is the path of madness.
Don’t ever forget: If you have five dollars and Chuck Norris has five dollars, Chuck Norris has more money than you.
If the State Supreme Court buckles under to the gay activists and their allies in the ACLU, the voters will see that the court does not care about the rule of law or the contents of the state constitution (to which they are sworn to uphold). The result could be the recall of three of the justices (Rose Bird, 1986?). Their replacements would be named by Schwarzenegger and approved by the legislature. That would guarantee that no conservatives would be named, but anyone expecting that is engaging in wishful thinking. You might get clones of those that got recalled but the point would have been made. If you get worse than those that were recalled, you do it again, this time with more experience in how to get rid of rogue justices.
It is an expensive way to do business, but after a couple of recalls, the incoming justices just may begin to get the idea that they are bound by the constitution.
I have to wonder at times how would have Hitler handled this gay problem. I don’t think there would be a problem because they would all be ashes by now.
The intimidation is but one prong in the Left’s arsenal to undermine democracy. The Courts are another.
Being elitists, they will use any means to have disproportionate influence over the masses for whom they publicly advocate, but fundamentally despise.
I have not heard much about their protests here in north east FL, either in the paper or the TV.
Most at work have not hard anything and when I told them they said Yuck disgusting we all hate certain laws but we don’t do this
They who never voted are saying they had no idea how radical and violent these people are and next time they will make an effort to vote against them as they never bothered this year too.
Let them keep their little protests up and have their so called non gay day , (LOL) they are making themselves look stupid and immature plus losing more support from moderates.
Imagine what would happen if conservatives acted like these radicals just because they “didn’t get their way” on election day.

By stealing elections such as the Wisconsin Senate seat for Franken the radical left is ensuring that eventuality.
