		<description>[...] That’s right. Activists have published an “Anti-Gay Black List” of Prop. 8 donors on the Internet. If the tables had been turned and Prop. 8 proponents created such an enemies’ list, everyone in Hollywood would be screaming “McCarthyism” faster than you can count to eight. A Los Angeles restaurant whose manager made a small donation to the Prop. 8 campaign has been besieged  nightly by hordes of protesters who have disrupted the business, intimidated patrons, and brought employees there to tears. In fear for their jobs and their lives, workers at El Coyote Mexican Café pooled together $500 to pay off the bullies. [...]</description>

		<description>[...] From Tim Graham, &#8220;AP Helps Liberal Group Scold a Stubbornly Racist America&#8221; &#8212; The group is the Southern Poverty Law Center, a group with a long history of one-sided hysteria. The underlying AP story says that &#8220;From California to Maine, police have documented a range of alleged crimes, from vandalism and vague threats to at least one physical attack.&#8221; One. In a country of 300-plus million. Well, THAT proves their point that we&#8217;re still a stubbornly racist nation (/sarcasm). I&#8217;ll betcha that, if it cared to, AP could work up a much longer list of &#8220;vandalism and vague threats to at least one physical attack&#8221; by those in California who can&#8217;t handle the idea that voters rejected legalizing same-sex marriage. Plus, the anti-Prop 8&#8217;s are engaging in de facto extortion. [...]</description>

		<description>eq01: the sad thing about your excellently-stated post is that no proponent of the LGBT community cares a whit about your &quot;beliefs&quot; as they are founded in an &quot;outdated religious system founded by men and designed to enslave the faithful&quot; (or some iteration of moral relativism&#039;s refutation of Christianity.

This is in no way an assertion that all gays are godless, because I know that this is simply not true. Nevertheless, the &quot;fringe&quot; elements in this debate, I believe, are godless--and take it further (as evidenced by the bash-backers and their join or die mantra). 

What we have here, as I see it, are two groups. One seeks to peacefully settle matters via the democratic process--as has been the template in this nation for over 200 years. The other, seeks to hide behind slogans and buzzwords like &quot;inclusion&quot; or &quot;rights&quot; or &quot;tolerate&quot; or &quot;bigot&quot; or ... all the while exhibiting the type of behavior that they allegedly find so detestable. 

I would never harm another individual just because their vote differed from mine. If their ideology threatened my family, I would stand up for my family. I might even stand up for me. But I cannot fathom the type of fanatic hatred it must take to do what these zealots are doing--singling out good Christian folk who have simply been told to exercise their right to vote--and to vote their conscience, based on their inner God-given beliefs.

I know that&#039;s what Mormons did--I can only assume that Catholics did the same. At no time did I ever hear--from the pulpit in a meeting from any leader--a call to go and vote down Prop 8 (or Prop 22 in 2000, for that matter). The LDS church has always advocated political neutrality. If this neutrality is in question in this political cycle, it can only be, in MY opinion, because this is not a political issue--but a moral one.</description>
