Please let us know what happens.

Apparently the San Francisco Chronicle isn't smart enough to understand the lashback to any letter writer supporting Prop 8 while using their real name. An such controversial issues, here in Arkansas the editors are smart enough to state “(Name withheld by Editor)” on such letters. But In SF and considering the state where I used to live in the Chronicle wanted to punish the writer for going against their view of equality.

Go back to every single article you’ve read so far concerning homosexual threats, intimidation and violence. Mentally change the words “gays” or “homosexuals” to “gun owners”, and think about what the official reaction to that kind of behavior would be. I’ll give you a hint - it would be met with an extreme negative reaction. Homosexuals get away with it because they’re ALREADY members of a protected class.

It seems that the folks in SF will push and push until they have the behavior displayed at the Folsom Street Fair on every street corner.

Leftists impose their beliefs on everyone else? Nooooooo..

That’s because a large portion of the money from out-of-state donations to fight it came out of Utah. I actually think it’s wrong in some ways, since I think people in one state shouldn’t be interfering in other states when it comes down to a state issue. That’s the old conservative in me leaking out, that prefers states keep to themselves and leave other states alone when it comes to state issues.

Aren’t there laws protecting ordinary citizens exercising their Free Speech rights from mobs?

I think so. I think it's called the Second Amendment.
To: af_vet_rr
I can agree with that, considering how much my state has been imposed upon for decades by troublemakers from elsewhere.

“Facism in America is alive and limp-wristed. Or alive and some cute girl on girl action. Anyway, the Prop. 8 win has exposed a true nature here, and America is seeing it play out daily.”
We to the point where we need our own group that can get rowdy threaten our enemies.

These kinds of tactics from the queers WILL blow back on them. Eventually, the law-abiding types will get fed up with these kinds of terrorist tactics and all hell will be out for noon (and deservedly so).
To: bboop
There are laws against violence. There is no law that says you can speak with abosolutely no negative consequences. (This is what Liberals think free speech is, let’s not follow suit).
This is how it should be under the 1st Amendment.

>The Second Civil War is approaching. Everytime the Liberals lose, they get violent. With the Liberal Messiah in power, they will feel more empowered to be violent. Within four years, they will go too far.
I feel like that is what is happening.
I could be that things will “die down” and get calmer; but, I think you may be right, they will push too hard and cross lines that shouldn’t.
BLOAT.

Yep, and it’s also a right to seek safety here in NM; as well as using firearms for “any legal purpose”.
Remember: “I felt my life was being threatened, I did what I could to counter the threat.”

Here's another one - the parallelism should be obvious:
Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard. And a servant girl came to him, saying, "You also were with Jesus of Galilee."

Liberals only believe in free speech when they are speaking. Liberals only believe in Democracy when their candidate or issue triumphs.
