Ann Coulter Attacks 9/11 Widows

Incidentally, BTW, I think this is deja vu as far as African Americans to which I was blithely accuses of perhaps being racits. Several of my lighting and fine art clients are black and I went with a black person for over two years out of college. He's now high up in the Disney organization whereas then, he was one of the Disney characters at Disneyland. No, silly, he wasn't Cinderella.

It occurred to me that gays denied the right to marry should be entitled to an exemption from taxation. After all, the state is denying them the right accorded to others. I guess this would not obtain legally, but the demand for exemption might help others see the very basic right being denied to these people.

Well, I wouldn't hold my breath on that one -- you'll likely turn blue. Nice thought, though, rational and humanistic. The irrationality of the politicians in Washington who have now been held hostage by the Bible thumping, holier-than-though, judgemental assholes in this world is astounding. It's the right and the left who want to kiss their asses for votes. I don't have much use for any of the two-bit lawyers who couldn't make it in private practice and so run for office. I know that's a generalization but not much of a generalization. It's like those who can't do, teach.

It is clear that Mr. Light Wizard does not read the papers:

It is a shame and an abomination which reflects poorly on the neanderthal judges appointed by President Bush and the hard hearted MEDIA who did not put this all important story on the front pages where it belongs:

Wash. Court Upholds Gay Marriage Ban
Washington Supreme Court upholds state's ban on gay marriage

OLYMPIA, Wash., Jul. 27, 2006

(AP) The Washington Supreme Court upheld the state's ban on gay marriage Wednesday, dealing the gay rights movement its second major defeat in less than a month in another liberal-leaning state that had been regarded as a promising battleground.

Massachusetts is still the only state that allows same-sex couples to wed.

In a 5-4 decision, the court said lawmakers have the power to restrict marriage to a man and a woman, and it left intact the state's 1998 Defense of Marriage Act.

Earlier this month, New York's high court dealt gay couples a similar blow when it upheld a state law against gay marriage.

Wednesday's ruling surprised and delighted gay-marriage opponents, given Washington state's liberal politics, particularly in Seattle.

"This is more than we could have imagined. We are shocked, and pleasantly shocked. We were prepared for the other direction," said Jon Russell, field director for the conservative Faith and Freedom Network.

Disappointment was perhaps greatest in Seattle, home of the state's most visible gay community.

"There aren't words to describe how hurt people in the gay and lesbian community are. There's a lot of tears and a lot of anger right now. Emotion is raw," said state Rep. Ed Murray, a Seattle Democrat and one of four openly gay state lawmakers.

The state Supreme Court overruled two lower courts that had found the ban violated the Washington Constitution's "privileges and immunities" section.

The gay-marriage ban "is constitutional because the Legislature was entitled to believe that limiting marriage to opposite-sex couples furthers procreation, essential to survival," Justice Barbara Madsen wrote in the controlling opinion.

However, Madsen and other members of the majority invited the Legislature to take another look at the "clear hardship" that the ban causes for same-sex couples.

In a dissent, Justice Mary Fairhurst said the majority improperly bowed to public opinion. "Unfortunately, the (majority) are willing to turn a blind eye to DOMA's discrimination because a popular majority still favors that discrimination," she wrote.

The 19 gay and lesbian couples who sued to overturn the law were dismayed by the ruling.

"I believe that our constitution should treat all of its citizens the same, and in this case the court was willing to treat my family differently than other families," said Brenda Bauer of Seattle, who sued along with her partner, Celia Castle. "Today's a pretty sad day for our family."

Leaders in the Legislature and Gov. Chris Gregoire _ all Democrats _ did not commit themselves to any course of action.

"Just as the public is divided over the issue, so is the Legislature," said Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown. Gregoire said: "The Supreme Court has ruled, and we must accept their decision whether we agree with it or not."

In Seattle, King County Executive Ron Sims, who backed the push to legalize marriage for same-sex couples, said his next step would be to press for civil unions. They give gay couples many of the rights that come with marriage and are allowed in Vermont and Connecticut.

"There's still hope in the long run," Sims said. "I still dream for a just society."

Forty-five states have laws banning marriage between same-sex couples or limiting marriage to between a man and a woman.

In other recent rulings on the issue, courts reinstated voter-approved bans on gay marriage in Nebraska and Georgia, and Tennessee's Supreme Court ruled that voters there should have a say on allowing marriage for same-sex couples.

Bigotry is alive and well. The only hope is that someone with real insight into the rights of man will be elected president. I am sure that Hillary Rodham Clinton would not shy away from nominating a gay person to the next Supreme Court Vacancy. That might be the only hope left!!!!

Passage of bills like this will force all gays to become straight! Gay men will marry women! The scourge of homosexuality on our planet will grind to a halt! From now on we will have only men-women combinations! Isn't bigotry GREAT???

I guess that the next step for the right will be to burn witches at the stake.

Of course not, there is no such thing as witches. Talk about trying to push things to the extreme.

There are no witches in this article. These things really happened and the question--which no one seems able to handle is WHY?

Deut. 18:10-12,
There shall not be found among you any one that ... uses divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer, for all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord.

Well, the only witch I know of is Hillary Rodham Clinton and I am not even sure that she was called a witch. I think the word began with a "b".

By the way, when did "hung" become
"hanged"?

Dizzy, you are a silly goose but I suppose you know that already.

I flyed out to left field, because I didn't flew to left field.

The thing about flies is that when you brain is empty you may forget to zip up but you should really be more aware of zipping down first.

I think anyone writing anything relating to religion or the Bible specifically avoid the word "hung."

Ann Maggot Coulter says that Gore is a total fag. To his discredit, Chris Matthews sucks up to her and says he wants her back on his show.
