Well, after not having anything really relevant to write about yesterday, we have a outrage double header today. First, as I posted below, the Republican party is hard at work weeding out anyone with half a brain (or ability/desire to govern). Now, I find out that North Carolina has passed their discriminatory anti-gay marriage amendment. I am not sure what they call it, but I will tentatively name it the "There is something that I don't understand and therefor it is wrong and protect the family somehow American patriot amendment." What a load of horseshit.
Two things. One: it is totally ridiculous that we can decide by a majority vote what rights people in a minority will have. Not only is it ridiculous, it is scary; very, very scary. Clearly, if you are not presently in the majority, you have no rights. You may have privileges, but no rights. What you thought were your rights were only the good will (and I use the term loosely) of the majority.
Two: Gays and Lesbians were already (profanity omitted) prohibited to get married by North Carolina law. This isn't defense of marriage, they are on the offense. Offense of marriage. That does sound more like what is going on here.
Anyhow, I will leave you with this little thought...first go here and look at the picture. Next, go here and watch the video. Apparently, the golden rule applies in traditional marriage. /snickers
