You know, I tire of these liberal tactics by posters like yourself.
Colorado voters in the 90s simply didn't want civil rights protections extended to homosexuals. The black-robed rogues of the Supreme Court overturned it about a decade after that, claiming that Colorado voters showed "animus" toward homosexuals and lesbians.
For one of the first times in our Free Republic, voters were disallowed to think in a certain way when they voted. It became, in effect, a "thought crime" to vote with certain motivations -- as if these black-robed rogues could discern Colorado voters' motivations at such a distance & lump them together to begin with!
You display this same sort of internal judgmentalism with such a simple question.
Then, once the gay activist community realized they had a court precedent of your "animus" angle, what have they done with it?
They've been tossing it up for the past year and a half trying to use it vs. Prop 8 -- something many Mormon citizens opposed with their $ and voice!
Examples:
* Prop 8 On Trial--Animus takes center stage
* 'Voter animus' to be issue in California marriage case
All you continue to do is to reinforce liberal logic...
(I certainly won't say it, but I'm sure some people could tell you where to stick that animus!)
What would be the reason for a liberal tactic?
Over the years, I have observed lots of animosity on these threads. You think I’m using some sort of liberal tactic? For what? What would be the goal?
All I’m doing is observing what is happening and asking why.
You haven’t even come near answering the question. All you’ve done is made some rant about some liberal thing that doesn’t make any sense. Why not at least attempt to answer why this subject causes so much bad feelings and negativity.
