“Homo-pression!” cries the NOM lady

National Organization for Marriage Chairharpy Maggie Gallagher isn’t going to take the overturning of Prop 8 lying down, up the butt or any other way:

Did our Founding Fathers really create a right to gay marriage in the U.S. Constitution? It is hard for anyone reading the text or history of the 14th Amendment to make that claim with a straight face, no matter how many highly credentialed and brilliant so-called legal experts say otherwise.

Some of our illustrious Founding Fathers would have enslaved our current president and his wife, sold their two girls down the river and told YOU, Ms. Gallagher, to shut the fuck up and go churn some butter. Their genius was in creating a broadly applicable set of principles that adapt to changing circumstances. One of which is equality.

Judge Walker has added insult to injury by suggesting that support for marriage is somehow irrational bigotry, akin to racial animus. The majority of Americans are not bigots or haters for supporting the commonsense view that marriage is the union of husband and wife, because children need moms and dads.

Get back to me when you mount a campaign to ban marriage between infertile couples. And what’s with this “commonsense” shit, Palinbot? It’s common – space – sense. Two words that describe a quality you utterly lack.

If this ruling is upheld, millions of Americans will face for the first time a legal system that is committed to the view that our deeply held moral views on sex and marriage are unacceptable in the public square, the fruit of bigotry that should be discredited, stigmatized and repressed. Parents will find that, almost Soviet-style, their own children will be re-educated using their own tax dollars to disrespect their parents’ views and values.

Bullshit, Maggie. You are free to raise your children in the most bigoted manner you choose. Hell, join the Klan! I don’t give a shit. You just don’t get to disenfranchise an entire class of people to bolster your sky-fairy mythology.

Those in power will call it tolerance, they will call it pluralism, but in truth same-sex marriage is a government takeover of an institution the government did not make, cannot in justice redefine, and ought to respect and protect as essential to the common good. Judge Walker is off-base: same-sex marriage is not a civil right, it is a civil wrong. The Supreme Court and Congress will reject his biased view.

If you’d quit humping the Constitution long enough to read it, you’d find that it enshrines your right to be a bigoted asshole according to your religious principles. It also bars you from controlling the rest of us with your silly prejudices—if not in this go ‘round, then eventually. Your discredited bigotry will join the Klan’s in the dustbin of history, Ms. Gallagher. Count on it.

FRist!

These simpletons don’t seem to understand the concept of a legal opinion. They seem to think it is of no more consequence than their own muddled opinions.  Just like with the “Theory” of evolution. They don’t understand technical terms, like theory and opinion.

Did our Founding Fathers really create a right to gay marriage in the U.S. Constitution?

Did they create a right to Marriage between a Man and a Woman? Did they even mention marriage? Did they “create” any rights at all?

I thought our Unalienable Rights came from the Creator—i.e., the laws of Gravity, Entropy and Surface Tension—except where the Founders felt the need to clarify or correct Nature’s God in the Bill of Rights and the subsequent Amendments.

The Constitution is totally mum on the topic of Marriage, but it’s pretty clear about discrimination. Too bad the wingnuts and Teabaggers only read the clauses they like.

PS: Hey, Maggie, choke on this:

Ann Coulter Headlines Homocon

The government controls marriage, has laws that control who can perform wedding ceremonies and even gives tax breaks to married people.

When will NOM rise up against this Soviet-style intrusion into the lives of reaLAMEricans?!

Man, oh man. If the request for stay NOM’s attorneys filed is anywhere near as lame, Walker will nail their scalps to his door.

These people wouldn’t know the Constitution if it took a dump on their plastic couch covers and broke all their commemorative Gun Smoke plates.

You know I think I am becoming a conservative. I long for those halcyon days of yore when the response to the crap that Gallagher spews would be simple; ‘Shut the fuck up you ignorant c***’, ah those were the days.

[Redacted. Please don’t use that word on this blog. Thx.]

Also 2: I’m sure Maggag expressed her outrage when several civil rights groups, including the NAACP, filed amicus briefs AGAINST Prop 8 because they connected the dots.

Ummm Maggie? You hit the nail smack dab on the fucking head with this ....

If this ruling is upheld, millions of Americans will face for the first time a legal system that is committed to the view that our deeply held moral views on sex and marriage are unacceptable in the public square

You, you prating, hateful silly cow, have never been more right.

I’m waiting for somebody to ask Mags whether it would be consti-superduper-tutional for a state to pass a law forbidding the morbidly obese from marrying and raising children. I say they can’t be trusted to not raise their kids on a diet of Ho-hos, Baconnaise and Pepsi but I suspect some activist judge might find against such a statute. Nevertheless, we must save the children regardless of such unwanted interference. It’s the people’s will!

shut the fuck up and go churn some butter

Can we adopt this as a general insult suitable for any occasion?

Have any of these Modern Republicans ever read the Constitution? I’m pretty sure if they had, they’d immediately start advocating for its destruction because, after all, it contradicts all that stuff Jesus said in the Old Testament about killin’ them foggorts and messicans…

Great post, Betty!  I agree.

Maggie has been a godsend to gay recruitment efforts.  I made my annual quota this year by March.

I made my annual quota this year by March.

Hell, I did, and I’m not gay. I’m just an associate member.

So to speak.

Oh, and we saw some friends this weekend.  One’s a US citizen, the other’s a Colombian here on a student visa.  They’re married according to the state of California, but because we live in Maggie’s America, their ability to remain together in the US is always in jeopardy.

Nice job, but you whiffed on “commonsense,” Ms. Cracker. Used as an adjective, “commonsense” is correct.

Ah jeesh, you’re right, Quaker. I’m always the last to accept word mergers. I hang onto the hyphenated form for adjectives for dear life. I will never, ever accept “healthcare.”

Civil wrong? I won’t take this sitting down. That kind of mixed meaning really gets my goat! Thankfully I don’t own one, but the point is, it’s hard to type standing up. Why does she make me do this? Am I right or am I left? It’s times like these I wish the BFG would just crush these people.

What the fuck do the “Founding Fathers” have to do with the 14th Amendment? For fuck’s sake, it was written and ratified nearly a century after this country was founded to serve the interests of white male landowners, because some free-thinking members of the Republican party thought that status quo didn’t adequately reflect American ideals.

History really has a distinctly liberal bias, dunnit?
