What happened to our Government? - Gay Marriage...
Wasn't it founded to make sure that the MAJORITY doesn't trounce on the MINORITY for the sake of fairness.

Gays and Lesbians are a minority. The "Majority" is using GOVERNMENT to beat them out of civilization. Isn't the government supposed to PROTECT the MINORITIES RIGHTS?

What is going on. That means that all of that crap they teach in history class is that...CRAP. Whenever some MASS hysteria comes about and sweeps up the Majority then the minoroity must either fall in line or be DAMNED?

It appears that people have forgotten what the role of government is in our society.

Government is to PROTECT rights not eliminate them for some while strengthening for others.

I'm just :puke:

and

1. what about separation of church and state?
I don't understand why the government is standing in the way of people getting married. I thought the government and church were suppose to be separate to a certain degree. I may be confused. If someone wants to get married let them. The government has rarely watched out for the minority except on paper and when it would get them a vote.

2. Every fascist state must have a group to hate and fear and demonize.
Lucky us, gays are the jews of the BFEE.

5. Yeah, lucky of us Jews, anyway
Though I have a strong feeling the Imperia Gulags are going to be full of us in 2030.

The "Good Jews", you know, the one's that support their Emperor and have forgotten AAAAALLLLLL about the Old American Republic, they'll be safe.

Not so sure about the rest of us and God Help you if you are a Free American, because the Busheviks HATE that.

7. We have two advantages that the Jews in the WWII era did not have:
1. We know that this sort of thing CAN happen.

2. We know what to look for. The only question is, will we actually DO anything about it?
