"They just took marriage away from 20,000 couples and made their children bastards," he said. "You don't do that and get away with it."

They? So the fact that 5.5 million Californians (of whom only a very small percentage are Mormon) voted for the homo marriage ban is somehow the Mormons' fault? lol...great thinking there, cupcakes.

The thing about hate is that it has to go somewhere. The gays found the only avenue that they could attack, and are “thrusting forward.” Forgive the pun. The only way to deal with hate is to turn it over to G-d—so I suggest that before they destroy themselves that they turn to G-d and ask for forgiveness of their sins and direction from Him. This isn’t a joke, but a firm request for the Father.

They are working the Alinsky stuff we've heard all about recently. They are picking a target in order to freeze it.

_______________________________________________________

Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

In conflict tactics there are certain rules that the organizer should always regard as universalities. One is that the opposition must be singled out as the target and “frozen.” By this I mean that in a complex, interrelated, urban society, it becomes increasingly difficult to single out who is to blame for any particular evil. There is a constant, and somewhat legitimate, passing of the buck. The target is always trying to shift responsibility to get out of being the target.

One of the criteria in picking your target is the target’s vulnerability -
where do you have the power to start?

Furthermore, the target can always say, “Why do you center on me when there are others to blame as well?” When you “freeze the target,” you disregard these arguments and, for the moment, all others to blame.

Then, as you zero in and freeze your target and carry out your attack, all of the “others” come out of the woodwork very soon. They become visible by their support of the target.

The other important point in the choosing of a target is that it must be a personification, not something general and abstract such as a community’s segregated practices or a major corporation or City Hall. It is not possible to develop the necessary hostility against, say, City Hall, which after all is a concrete, physical, inanimate structure, or against a corporation, which has no soul or identity, or a public school administration, which again is an inanimate system.
