and remind 'em. And they don't go out and vote. They concede before even going out onto the playing field. They shrug their shoulders and parrot the CON logic that "both parties alike." "They're all the same." No difference between blah-blah-blah..."

What can you do? And hey, religiosos - what happens when some Sharia Muslim business folk assert the same right that YOU assumed was only going to be confined to the Southern Baptist contingent? Whaddya do then?

Hey, folks at the state level - STILL think both parties are alike? STILL think there's no point in voting? STILL think your voice counts as much as the wackos who show up, pardon the pun, religiously at the polls every doggone time, whether it's for President or dog catcher - IF YOU DON'T SHOW UP??? STILL think what YOU thought was "settled law" really IS accepted as "settled law"?

I hope this sends a message to all the marriage equality advocates across America. Just because you're winning now doesn't mean that will stand. There are far too many people who think YOU do not deserve such rights or protections, and the Supreme Court has just opened the door to arguments they can now use on their side - to insist that THEIR "closely-held" religious right trumps yours. And they don't give up. They WILL be coming for those hard-earned and hard-fought rights you've recently won. GUARANTEED. Indeed, they already are!
