Anti-Prop. 8 mob: It’s over. You lost. Move on.

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 11, 2008 01:02 PM

I think it’s time for Democrat leaders to counsel the anti-Prop. 8 mob to stop the protests and accept the will of the people of California.

Tell them to leave the churches alone. Tell them to stop blocking traffic and impeding businesses and harassing elderly couples and targeting donors.

It’s over. You lost. Move on.

With almost 11 million ballots tallied, Prop. 8 had 52.3% of the vote, with 47.7% against. Although many ballots remain to be counted, the 500,000-vote spread is viewed as insurmountable.

You know how those Obama supporters have launched their treacly “healing” website, “from 52 to 48 | 48 to 52 with love?”

Maybe Prop. 8 supporters should do the same thing.

If you are a Californian who voted for Prop. 8 and want to send a healing message to a sore loser who voted against it, feel free to send me a photo, e-mail, or comment and I’ll create a separate “from 52 to 48″ post.

    its obvious you’re fine with eliminating religous liberty. which is what gay marriage is all about.

    Because in the United States, most marriages end in divorce, and gay marriage, when it’s been legalized, has worked perfectly fine.

    its obvious you’re fine with eliminating religous liberty. which is what gay marriage is all about.

    If gays are recognized as married by the state, what does that have to do with you, your religion, and your religious liberty? You can walk around pretending like all the gay marriages are invalid if it makes you feel better, why won’t that work?

    Because in the United States, most marriages end in divorce, and gay marriage, when it’s been legalized, has worked perfectly fine.

    uh whats that mean? where are the metrics??

    The metrics are that the world has continued to spin. For years we’ve heard from conservatives about all the inevitable problems we’d be facing with legalized gay marriage, and none of them have materialized despite the existence of thousands upon thousands of married, gay couples that have been married for years. You can no longer go with the doom and gloom scenario, because it’s not borne out.

    this just shows how uninformed you are on this issue. but its typical of liberals to have not thought through an issue…you just spew talking points.

    Marc D. Stern, whose many years handling religious freedom cases for the American Jewish Congress have made him an expert in the area, can hardly be identified as a conservative agitator. Yet he firmly believes that legal recognition of same-sex marriage will make clashes with religious liberty “inevitable.”

    “No one seriously believes that clergy will be forced, or even asked, to perform marriages that are anathema to them,” Mr. Stern has written. But for other individuals and institutions opposed on religious grounds to same-sex marriage, its legal acceptance would have “substantial impact.”

    He has in mind schools, health care centers, social service agencies, summer camps, homeless shelters, nursing homes, orphanages, retreat houses, community centers, athletic programs and private businesses or services that operate by religious standards, like kosher caterers and marriage counselors.

    One example, which he did not anticipate when first undertaking his analysis, was the Boston Catholic Charities’ decision to withdraw from providing adoption services because the state license required placing children with gay married couples on the same basis as heterosexual married couples.

    Chai R. Feldblum, a professor at Georgetown University Law Center and a proponent of same-sex marriage, agrees that permitting gay couples equal access to civil marriage will inevitably burden the religious liberty of those religiously opposed.

    already a doctor in CA was sued by a lesbian, and lost, because he would not provide insemination for her. this will affect everything from adoption agencies, to christian schools, who can attend, who can teach, churches, who can work there, and what benefits they have to provide..

    do you libs EVER think through the ramifications of ANY policy you support??? :roll:

    again, you sir are uninformed. and its on every aspect of this issue? ever hear of stanley kurtz???

    So the real question raised by Badgett’s comparison is why Holland should be virtually the only traditionally low out-of-wedlock birthrate country in which couples have easy access to birth control where out-of-wedlock birthrates are now “soaring?” I’m grateful to Badgett for (inadvertently) drawing this additional factor to my attention. Rather than weakening my point, it greatly strengthens it. It is clearer than ever that something very unusual is happening in the Netherlands. Demographically, we have a kind of Dutch exceptionalism — and the key difference is that the Dutch added gay marriage to their precarious balance between socially liberal attitudes and traditional family practices. Gay marriage — not restricted contraception or the collapse of Communism — upset that balance, with the result that the out-of-wedlock birthrate began to zoom

    The Dutch scholars are right. Many factors are in play in European marital decline, and more research is needed to separate out the relative importance of the various factors. But continued marital decline in Scandinavia and the Netherlands has already provided us with enough evidence to call the wisdom of same-sex marriage into serious doubt.

    Well, spewing talking points is all you’ve been doing for 6 pages of comments too, so I guess you must be a liberal as well.

    Your quote doesn’t explain to me how gay marriage restricts your freedoms. Stern even says:

    Organizations like this had to make adjustments when blacks gained equal civil rights too. I’m left to assume that based on your logic, things like allowing blacks to adopt, etc etc, would have somehow been considered a restriction of their religious freedoms too?

    Stern says allowing gay marriage would have ‘substantial impact’. But I note that he provides no detail about what form this impact might take. No specifics, just a big fear sale.

    comparing gay marriage to ‘civil rights’ is specious and laughable.

    christian churches will have to hire gay pastors, as christian schools will have to hire gay teachers. christian schools will not be able to expell gay students. freedom of religion will end. even reading bible verses that condemn homosexuality will be a ‘hate crime’

    What do the doctor and the lesbian have to do with gay marriage? That’s discrimination based on sexual orientation. Which apparently is fine with you, if you think Christian schools should be allowed to expel gays. But that doesn’t have anything to do with gay marriage. What’s the connection?

    That’s discrimination based on sexual orientation

    Christianity, and most religions DO discriminate on ‘sexual orientation’…now that will be illegal with gay marriage. as I wrote..and apparently you don’t get.

    if you think Christian schools should be allowed to expel gays

    Family man,
    Like most points it is useless to argue this with libs. They understand our objections but will merely dismiss them as bigotry that stands in the way of somebody’s supposed rights. The irony is they are cut from the same ideological cloth as radical feminists that have insisted for 40 years that marriage is slavery and should be restricted if not outright banned. In both cases they attack traditional marriage because it stands in the way of personal freedom. I have to wonder if radical feminists that hate traditional marriage are in favor of gay marriage? I also have to wonder if those demanding the “right” to gay marriage realize it is a net loss of freedom for those committed to a long-term, successful marriage? All decisions must take into acount your spouse and children. Gratification must be delayed, scaled back or completely forgotten to provide financial security for the family unit. Buying a house, changing jobs, moving, vacations or just going out for the evening all require for more forethought, planning and discussion than if one were single. (I think the feminists might have a point in that it is a form in institutionalized slavery, but are wrong in believing it is only so for the women.) And then there is the big one: no more dating! I don’t believe for a minute this is what they are after. They only want the right to get married, and have their homosexuality recognized and accepted by the force of law. They fool nobody but themselves.

By failing to speak out, you are complicit and malfeasant. These activists are threatening businesses with boycotts at a critical time in this States disastrous economy, naming individuals thus making them vulnerable to retaliation and physical harm, targeting places of worship, and disrupting the peace.

    It was shameful enough that you encouraged the protesters to defy the majority will of California voters. You proved yourself a lame-duck politician by reversing your principals on the issue of gay marriage (not to mention taxation). For this voter, you have lost all credibility.
    However, to stand by silently, while the community is being subjected to the minority unlawful and menacing behavior being inflicted on cities statewide is reprehensible as a governor.

    Because discrimination based on sexual orientation is ILLEGAL, and will continue to be so regardless of the legality of homosexual marriage. This still has nothing to do with gay marriage, and has no relevance to constitutional ammendments banning gay marriage.

    I’ll throw your own words back at you, as they seem fitting:

    anyone with any sense could understand the context with which I was explaining this. Gay ‘marriage’ is a fraud. it cannot work, they cannot procreate, which is the primary purpose of marriage.

    Here is the definition for you. Study up on it. You may come out a wiser person.

    Natural law or the law of nature is a theory that posits the existence of a law whose content is set by nature and that therefore has validity everywhere. ] The phrase natural law is sometimes opposed to the positive law of a given political community, society, or nation-state, and thus can function as a standard by which to criticize that law. In natural law jurisprudence, on the other hand, the content of positive law cannot be known without some reference to the natural law (or something like it). Used in this way, natural law can be evoked to criticize decisions about the statutes, but less so to criticize the law itself. Some use natural law synonymously with natural justice or natural right although most contemporary political and legal theorists separate the two.

There are lower rates of; crime, drug abuse, suicide, run away, and pregnancies when kids grow up in a home with a Father and a Mother in traditional gender roles. They clam that half of traditional marriages end in divorce. True some marriages fail, but most stay together to raise the children. Kids do much better when they have a female Mom and a male Dad role model. Why can’t the No on 8 people leave us church going traditional families alone? I think they are a bit upset the black and Hispanic Obama voters voted to pass prop. 8. God bless them! They value the traditional family way of life.

    Polygamy would be a redefinition of marriage, and would have repercussions far and wide throughout our society and economy. Marital law, family law, inheritance law, divorce law, etc., are all premised on two individuals entering into a marriage contract. Would employers and health care providers be forced to cover a man’s five wives? Will children of polygamists have multiple mothers and fathers in the eyes of the law? In a polygamist divorce, do the kids go with the departing wife, or stay with the rest of the family?

    Legalizing polygamy would require a ridiculous overhaul of just about every facet of American law, which is impractical. That’s setting aside all of the social problems and crimes typically associated with polygamy like incest, pedophelia, and sexual assault.

    When gays marry, they need no such exceptions or reworkings. Gay couples will fit into the marital system the exact same way that straight couples, do.

    That’s why.

    You’re truly a bizarre character, right4life.

    The gay movement is based upon securing equal rights for gay people. It’s about stopping the treatment of gays as second class citizens. The only thing standing in the way of this is Christianity. Christians have made gay people the enemy, it’s not the other way around. Most gays (like most Americans) are Christians and most of them don’t want to have to fight a religion. You are the one that is forcing them into this fight.
