I haven’t blogged for several days because if I get started on the whole Katrina mess, well, you don’t want me to go there. The only thing I’ll say (and only because a dear friend asked me to) is that if somebody in a room full of liberals farted, they’d blame it on Bush.
No, this isn’t about Katrina. I’m not going there, at least not until the whole issue quiets down. This is about those utterly unprincipled liberals in (and where else?) the Peoples’ Republik of California.
Perhaps you find it uncomprehensible that after the voters of said Soviet state passed a marriage proposition, the liberals elected by those same voters decided to ignore the porposition and legalize gay marriage.
I don’t. I don’t find it even vaguely surprising.
Before I go on, this issue doesn’t have a damn thing to do with gay marriage, or civil unions, or domestic partnership benefits, or any other sexuality related issue. The proposition could have been about dyeing your hair purple, and the issue would remain the same.
Let’s review.
On March 7, 2000, Proposition 22 defining marriage as between a man and a woman passed with 61.4% of the vote, and in 52 out of California’s 58 counties. The issue was put on the ballot, and the electorate decided.
Then this past Tuesday, on Septemer 6, the leftist legislature voted to ignore the people who voted for Proposition 22, slap the electorate in the face, and legalize gay marriages.
The issue here is the utter scorn liberals have for citizens and the democratic process. Only someone who sneers at the democratic process would even contemplate flouting the will of the electorate in this way — someone who believes himself to be above the will of citizens. Remember this the next time you hear those liberal Democrats trying to feed you their bull about being “for the common guy” or howl about the “democratic process” or an “abuse of power.”
Here again liberals demonstrate how dangerous they are, and how they will do anything at all to push their agenda on an unwillling citizenry. Rights are not the issue. Those who insist that this is a human rights issue need to amend the California state constitution. But the ends do not justify the means, not now, not ever, and such spittle in the faces of the voters should result in many state legislators being kicked out of office at the next opportunity.
So Arnold, it’s time to push through the redistrcting so the leftists can no longer force themselves on the rest of the state. And for the nation, it’s time for the Republicans to appoint strict constructionists and turn the SCOTUS around.
