Bigotry on the ballot? No, dishonesty in the editorial

Many of the nation’s leading newspapers serve as advocacy agents for the normalization of homosexuality and the legalization of same-sex marriage. Leading this charge for some time, The New York Times regularly promotes same-sex marriage in its editorials and news coverage. Even so, the paper’s latest editorial serves as a display of how the argument for homosexual marriage is often pressed with what can only be described as undisguised intellectual dishonesty.

In “Bigotry on the Ballot,” the paper editorialized against Amendment One, the effort to amend the constitution of North Carolina in order to preclude the legal recognition of same-sex marriage. That question will be put before the voters of North Carolina on May 8, and the result will be an important signal of where the nation now stands on the question. No similar effort has yet failed when put before the voters of a state, but polls indicate that the vote in North Carolina may be close.

What makes you think I'm answering a question with a question?

LOL, just kidding. In comment #2 I said I voted for it.

Part of why I'm on about the arguments being used against the amendment is because the Left has been running an exceptionally dishonest and fearmongering campaign against it, which I addressed in an article yesterday.

Sorry, I missed it. Let’s hope it passes. Now that Lugar has been beat, this could be a great night for conservatives.

Did Lugar get beat? Great!!!!!

I’ve been looking for reliable Indiana results online, largely without success (of course, I’m also working on a newsletter and tracking the marriage amendment results as they come in too....)

Marriage amendment is currently winning 57%-43% with 25% of precincts reporting. Good news is that Orange County (very leftist) is completely reported, and Wake (purplish-blue) is 92% reported. The only really large counties that would be anti-amendment strongholds left are Mecklenburg and Durham, which are partially reported but still have quite a bit left. A lot of smaller rural counties, which have been going strongly pro-amendment, have yet to report, which is good.

Good news all around tonight. No wonder Obama cancelled his trip to NC today. I bet the Dems regret holding their convention in NC. I wonder how proud Obama will be of his defense of gay rights when he campaigns in the state.
