1. Hoooo-kay. - this letter is wrong on so MANY levels.

This guy thinks that homosexuals are comparabile to mass murders. He thinks that America is a "Christian" nation (what part of the First Amendment does he not get?) and he thinks that ONLY "liberal" judges are activist, I suppose, since he doesn't care to discuss what the Supremes did in Bush v. Gore.

:crazy:

2. Wow

- I didn't know "christians" could not live they way they wanted to
- I didn't know liberals were the minority
- Gosh I'm so glad the moral majority is still demanding shit and making this veteran chuckle all the way to my shrine to the constitution. Hating in the name of Jesus Christ, how quaint.

3. FLAG ON THE PLAY !! There's some "astroturfing" going on. . .

(snip)
This AstroTurf machine � spewing fake opposition to gay marriage -- is among the most sophisticated and successful out there. It lets Focus on the Family supporters create more than 600 variations of the same letter.

Most of the time, these operations are more successful at planting their plagiarism in the letters columns of smaller papers without the staff to pull the weeds, but Focus on the Family really knows what they are doing.

They�ve slipped by the editors at The Fresno Bee, The Orange County Register, The Toledo Blade, Tucson Citizen and The Deseret News.

6. Another regurgitation

of right-wing talking points AGAIN? (Yawn!) Oh, and play the poor, persecuted Christian card while you're at it!
