The state House of Representatives passed the gay marriage bill late Wednesday night - codifying the State Supreme Court's controversial decision that legalized gay marriage in Connecticut. The House voted, 100 to 44, several hours after the state Senate had voted, 28 to 7, to approve the codification. Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell says she will sign the bill into law. The bill was supported on the House and Senate floors by the two co-chairmen of the legislature's judiciary committee - Rep. Michael P. Lawlor of East Haven in the House and Sen. Andrew McDonald of Stamford in the Senate.
waiting for NY to secede. Federal troops will crush the rebellion.
Even the concept of “codifying the court decision” was a sign of no backbone. Basically, the Conn. legislature bent over and allowed the courts to violate them.
And you can bet this will spread across the country.
the was nothing in the court decision that asked the legislature to “codify it’s decision”. it was weirdly worded opinion and an excuse by the legislature to do this.
We shouldn’t get so focused on gay marriage that we forget the Ten Commandments.
“so focused on gay marriage”
Nobody on this site is “so focused on gay marriage”. On Wednesday, it was the Conn. state legislature that was so focused on gay marriage. And, yes, they forgot the Ten Commandments.
“We shouldn’t ..”
Who exactly do you mean by “We”?
AMEN SoldierDad!!!!!!
Oh goodness, was there a bitch slap fight??? Let's go to the video... how queer!
Or having a successful civil war happen, at some point in the future. The majority of non-leftists must seriously come together and then actually have either a successful revolution or a successful civil war, if this country is ever going to seriously be a capitalistic country again. Anything less than this and leftists will just keep on being in complete control of everything important politically. If “leftists v.s. non-leftists” ends up even going global, than the final result may be even better for non-leftists, if they actually do win.

Another evidence about what is wrong with the Republican party today.
well the queers win again
I appreciate the irony of your tag line, I really do. The reality of your comment is, of course, as I'm sure you're aware, is that now that GWB is gone, the American people will die in their sleep, and not from natural causes. God help us.
How gay is that??
..and to think Connecticut is called the Constitution State!
which one would they be referring to? the EU model?
Not cool. Admin pinged.
If you received a call that someone you loved was stricken with a serious illness, you would not whisper a quick, Bless her, Lord and move on. No! You would fall to your kneesheart heavy in your chestpleading with God to restore her health. We should respond similarly when our countrys health is compromised: we should pray as fervently for our land and her leaders as we would for a dangerously ill friend.
King Solomon was warned of the peril to his nation if the people ceased honoring the Lord. God explained what Israel was to do in such a state of turmoil. First, the people were to humbly admit their need for the Lords intervention. Second, they were expected to cry out to Him from hearts burdened for the countrys situation. And third, those seeking a renewal of Gods blessing upon Israel were to undergo a time of personal confession and repentance.
The Lords word to Israel contains principles that are also relevant for us in modern times. Those who are called by His namein other words, the body of believershave a duty to intercede on behalf of their country when it is ailing. Christians who want God to hear prayers, forgive national sins, and heal their homeland are wise to follow the steps He laid out to Solomon.
Your nation needs your prayers. As you become aware of unhealthy trends and decisions, start with a personal heart cleansing: confess and repent of any known sin (1 John 1:9). Then cry out to our heavenly Father for the return of a vibrant, God-fearing culture.
FROM IN TOUCH MINISTRIES...DR. CHARLES STANLEY.
We live in a Godless Country....we are the minority. But do not let your heart be troubled, set your eyes on God and speak his truth.....know his truth....and teach your children of God’s truth and everlasting love. The media has convinced America...we are bigots and Christianity is bigotry...we WILL be persecuted. Your family, neighbors and friends will turn on you, be ready God has already warned us. Did you believe him? We can fight, but God will win and he has set the stage...not them. Be faithful! Be ready in season and out to explain your faith.
God Bless....know your God...know your Bible....start getting out of debt to man. Owe no one but God!
