Everyone knows what I think of gay marriage. The idea is revolting.
However, it's not going to be happening in America wholesale anytime soon, and we have gay-marriage proponents and liberals to thank for that.
Liberals have had this nasty habit of manipulating the judicial system, which is the hardest to check and counter, to force through ideas and laws that they think is good for everyone, instead of using the democratic process and letting people decide. This time, it wasn't a judicial decision. The people were given a choice to accept gay marriage. The idea was defeated soundly everywhere it was put to vote, making it loud and obvious that most people are against the idea, and by that virtue alone, it should not exist.
Some liberals (like ABF) said it was totally a religious matter. This is not anywhere near true. I think a lot of it was backlash against the far left, and their pompous, elitist attitudes. These people think they know everything, and everyone who doesn't agree with them are idiots, and rarely do they deny thinking this. Therefore, they try to force gay marriage on people. Stupid, stupid move. You can't force acceptance on people. Give it time. Gay marriage WILL be tolerated in this nation one day. But that time is not now. Blacks are considered equals to whites by most Americans. This was not forced on them. It was merely the natural tolerance that succeeding generations show for others in America. It takes time, and it has to happen on its own, for it to work.
In any case, I hope they're happy, because what they accomplished was nothing less than America shifting quite far to the right in this election, getting out all those Christian voters who stayed home last time. Make no mistake, Bush is not an idiot. He made gay marriage an issue because he knew the left would take the bait and cause a fuss about it. They did just that, and by ridiculing and alienating a majority of American voters, liberals allowed Bush and the Republicans solidified their power, and the Democrats are now weeping in defeat, some knowing it was their own fault the whole time for taking the bait.
I would hope this would teach the Left a lesson about letting things run their course, but I know it won't. And if the results are anything like this election, more power to them, I say!
