I’m hooked on the Olympics—I hope Michael Phelps wins his 8 gold medals!
They had a little interlude during the show tonight of a correspondent tasting unusual foods in
I was taken back by one of the commercial breaks tonight: a bride being hindered from getting to her groom, and the words: what if you couldn’t marry the one you loved? That was just preposterous!! It was a jab at Prop 8—falsely implying that it would stop gay couples from being together. Prop 8 doesn’t take any rights from any domestic partnership—but it will take away constitutional freedom of religion for those who believe in the bible. If Prop 8 does not pass, the government will have the right to tell preachers what to preach, will make them marry gay couples or go to jail, and will make the schools teach gay marriage in all grades. This is a serious attack on the family. It’s a serious attack on the basic unit of society. It’s way too much of a price to pay for a minority group wanting to use the word “marriage” in place of “domestic partnership”.
If you believe the Bible to be the word of God, vote YES on Prop 8.
If you don’t want the government to dictate religion, vote YES on Prop 8.

Guess I'd better study up on Prop 8. I had no idea it did ALL THAT!!!
Wow.
Wow.
a removed post? unsavory? hmmmmmmm. Hope no-one offended my sister!
Those scorpions look really nasty.
But are they serving deep fried Coke at the Olympics??? That's what I want to know. Maybe... deep fried pizza and pasta for the athletes?
I'll just stick to the scorpions. :)

Six Consequences If Proposition 8 Fails
1. Children in public schools will be taught that both traditional marriage and same-sex marriage are okay.
The California Education Code already requires that health education classes instruct children about marriage. (§51890)
Therefore, if the definition of marriage is changed, children will be taught that marriage is a relation between any two adults. There will be serious clashes between the secular school system and the right of parents to teach their children their own values and beliefs.
2. Churches will be sued if they refuse to allow same-sex marriage ceremonies in their religious buildings that are open to the public. Ask whether your pastor, priest, minister, bishop, or rabbi is ready to perform such marriages in your chapels and sanctuaries.
3. Religious adoption agencies will be challenged by government agencies to give up their long-held right to place children only in homes with both a mother and a father. Catholic Charities in Boston has already closed its doors because of the legalization of same-sex marriage in Massachusetts.
4. Religions that sponsor private schools and which provide housing for married students will be required to provide housing for same-sex couples, even if it runs counter to church doctrine, or lose tax exemptions and benefits.
5. Ministers who preach against same-sex marriages will be sued for hate speech and could be fined by the government. It has already happened in Canada, one of six countries that have legalized gay marriage.
6. It will cost you money. A change in the definition of marriage will bring a cascade of lawsuits. Even if courts eventually find in favor of a defender of traditional marriage (highly improbable given today’s activist judges), think of the money – your money, your church contributions – that will have to be spent on legal fees.
And think of all the unintended consequences that we cannot even foresee at this time. Where will it end? If one day a man wanted to marry his favorite pet, or his brother, or himself... will that be OK too?
It’s your children, your grandchildren, your money, and your liberties.
Lets work together to protect them.
Join with us in walking precincts and phoning voters to vote Yes on Prop 8.
