Agree the two tools that work best for progressiveism are MSM and Hollywood.
I remember when many on FR thought no state anywhere would ever lose a ‘gay marriage’ popular vote. I hope you are right. But if you look at the % the amendments passed by, where and when they passed and what regions, it doesn’t look too good, in my opinion.
“The only reason this abnormal BS has won in any state is because billionare liberals from out of state pour in millions and millions of dollars to bribe lawmakers.”
I think the biggest reason that so many accept impossibilities like ‘gay marriage’ is that many have been conditioned to think the state defines marriage. How does the state define marriage? It defines it by whatever judges, pols, or 51% of the voting public think it is at any one time. And that’s it. I think the average % the amendments passed was 67% or so, but that was a few years ago before the resent votes, it would be lower now.

Well duh. We've had two decades of an unending onslaught of propaganda, not to mention outright bullying, until people are afraid to oppose it.
For whatever reason, the Powers That Be appear to have picked this issue a few decades ago and started pushing it (it certainly wasn't the "gays" themselves, since there aren't enough of them). Maybe this is one way to slow down our "surplus" population growth?
Rashi said that homosexual-filled non-Jewish societies were not destroyed by HaShem because at least they had the basic decency not to write out "marriage" licenses for such people. Looks like that deal's about to run out.
Nailed it!
There is no organized response to this. The left framese this as liberty vs religious bigots. We shoudl be responding that gay marriage is intollerence against hte religious. It forces people to accept, celebrates, and subsidize behavior they don’t like. But that argument is never allowed in the media because the gay media won’t run it and the religious right is too dumb to try it.
Having said that, what I can't understand is why an issue that is only relevant to a tiny fraction of the population (2-3% of which is homosexual, and of these an even smaller fraction are remotely interested in "marriage") gets headlines and attention that you'd expect for the most pressing issues of the day.
Why is this getting more press than the budget debate, immigration reform, and other matters that are relevant to all of us rather than a noisy minority (and an equally noisy contingent who obsess over them)?
I got unfriended by a "devout Catholic" on facebook for pointing out her support of homo "marriage" went against her faith. I guess the truth hurts. I don't see why liberal Catholics just don't become Episcopalians instead of demanding the church change it's views to suit them.
“I don’t see why liberal Catholics just don’t become Episcopalians instead of demanding the church change it’s views to suit them” DITTO!
You should ask her why she wants to be a member of a faith that she does not agreed with? Thousands of Episcopalians have flocked to the Catholic Church because of the liberal views of the Episcopalians.
I like your take. This was a God inspired union of man and woman that has been taken over and re-interpreted by the vulgar, secular state. Marriage apart from God becomes whatever secular elitist rulers want it to be. As far as I’m concerned marriage is dead. Let them marry their dogs, cats,and pet rabbits next. That’s all the value it has.
Tried to and got unfriended for it. The most I got out of her is "God is not a hypocrite"
Barone means "tough for the RiNO-ate to get the GOP membership to sit still for, and swallow, the obviously nasty, vindictive, and degenerate politics of homosexuality as some sort of venerable American beau ideal."
In the face of reality, all that Barone and the other GOP-e types are worrying about is how to diddle their own and ingratiate themselves with catamites and sodomites who will always hate them anyway.
Barone and the e-GOP'ers have political-donation envy. Another rich group of degenerates has been throwing money at the Dems .... and the RiNO's want them some perv-money. Putos!
Because they're callow, stupid, and slow to catch on that they've been lied to in 11 dimensions for 30 years by the Velvet Underground in Hollywood and MSM journalism.
