VOTE to hate Gays today in Kansas......

[OneTwentyoNine]

Among other meaningless,trivial matters like school board members and city commissioners Kansans get to vote to take away as many rights from gays and lesbians as possible. Meanwhile Kansas and the US treasury will still be taking the maximum taxes from them which in turn keeps several loudmouth hate filled preachers in their tax-free churches. On the positive side there have been many churches and their preachers speak out against this kind of discrimination and will vote NO.

Never mind Kansas has had a law on its books banning marriage between anyone except a man and a woman since 1887. Nah...thats not good enough for the full blown radical religious right. Only a State Constitutional amendment will silence those quacks--for a little while.

School funding in Kansas has been woefully short and actually violates the State Constitution but was put on the back burner when the legislators first met this year so they could hurry and get the gay bashing vote on the April ballot.

2. Did you just here Shirley Phelps on the Stern show?

It's always entertaining when she's on. She was on today to say that the Pope was in hell.

They did something interesting to say and just kept asking if all these famous people were in heaven.

They basically highlighted the fact that she couldn't name 1 person who wasn't a member of her family or Abraham who was in heaven

6. Geezus... Freddie's outtdone himself this time (Catholics be warned!)

"Deal with it, you idolatrous morons: The Pope is in Hell!

Pope John Paul II Is In Hell

Westboro Baptist Church members are competent expert witnesses, having picketed hundreds of Catholic churches in all 50 states since 1991. We will bear witness on Judgment Day: Catholics are the meanest, most violent peaple on earth, and their churches are filled with filthy fag priests. On John Paul II's watch, the Catholic Church became the Church of the Holy Pedophiles Where the Mass is celebrated not with bread & wine but with vile sodomite feces ("scat") & semen. Vatican Intelligence surpasses the CIA + FBI + ad infinitum. The Pope appoints all bishops, archbishops, cardinals, etc., and he does so knowing most are fags or enablers. As the final and absolute ruler of all things Catholic, he is solely responsible for every raped child and every sinful, pervert priest. "Hell from beneath is moved to meet thee at thy coming." Isa. 14: 9. "And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments." Lk. 16:23."

14. Ha ha ha ha...

"Catholics are the meanest, most violent peaple on earth..."

Not as violent as your peaple, bucko.

[atommom]

24. So having picketed Catholic churches in their own obnoxious fashion

makes them competent expert witnesses who can testify as to the true nature of all Catholics? Fascinating. I suppose true Christians would have made their own signs and joined right in, instead of getting all huffy ... :eyes:

3. Hang in there, Kansans!

The wingnuts can't have their way forever...
:grouphug:

[THUNDER HANDS]

4. why not pack up and move

I mean, its Kansas, what's keeping any sane liberal from staying there anyway? If you have family, I'm sure you can come back and visit, but there's no sense in giving your tax dollars to a state that hates you.

This applies to pretty much every liberal in every red state, btw. Do us all a favor and move to Ohio or something. :)

[atommom]

5. It's tempting, but I don't like the idea of letting the wingnuts have

their way without a fight! :banghead:

[MuseRider]

7. Yes it is Kansas

and it is my home and I will not leave it to the likes of these people to think that they have no opposition. What is keeping us here? Well for one it is a beautiful state full of very good people, it is not crowded and it is a great place to be. "I mean, its Kansas" what does that mean?

[dubyaD40web]

16. I thought about leaving this f*cked up state

and moving next door to MO. However, I'm staying here and fighting. This damn state will be blue when I get done with it. Our website is changing voters one-by-one out here.

[Shrek]

19. Yeah, it's Kansas, so what?

I happen to like it here. I've been to 45 states (including Ohio) and several foreign countries, and nothing I've seen in any of those places has convinced me that I'm wrong to live here.

Quality of life isn't measured solely by the political environment.

[OneTwentyoNine]

21. No thanks,insane Repukes live in EVERY State,not just Kansas...

There were actually a higher % that went Dem for Kerry than when Clinton ran. Its about 60/40,not enough to pack up and leave....

[OneTwentyoNine]

29. Why? Then using these wouldn't be that much fun......

http://www.cafepress.com/dubyad40.11860617

No fun if everyone around you was a Dem.I'm ordering two or three sets,I can't wait to start.... em..."posting"

Heh he.....

[KansDem]

8. I voted "no" today...

So did my wife. Our household contributed two "no" votes...

I hope we prevail. I'm really getting fed up with this nonsense.

[MuseRider]

10. 4 "no" votes

from this family but if the polls from yesterday run true it is a done deal. I could not be more upset.

[mtnester]

You will then join my lovely state of Ohio

who now has the most oppresive anti gay legislation in the United States.

My son is moving from Ohio in June, and Kansas will not be on the list. He is seriously considering Europe.

[MuseRider]

15. I have not compared

but I believe ours is like yours and NOBODY has any clue, all they know is that it will keep gays from marrying. Yesterdays phone calls still brought it up to people who had no idea what was in the amendment and the way it was stated on my ballot left it all up to the voter to ponder what it means and that is not likely to happen in the booth. Please tell your son that if this passes we will not stop fighting it, we have banded together through 3 anti gay city or state issues and we are strong, it just isn't enough yet.

[Sentath]

17. I glanced at them

Our Ks amendment is worse.

[MuseRider]

18. I was thinking

that I had heard ours was more like the one in Iowa. I have been too busy to really take the time to look it up. Doesn't matter now, what happens happens and we will be left to deal with it.

:hi: How have I missed seeing you here? Welcome!

[mtnester]

11. self delete - double post, 1st time for that for me

[greenbriar]

13. I voted no too

hubby wouldn't vote...he said

my vote doesnt' mean anything

I voted in november and they still installed that idiot in the White HOuse.


NOW what makes this so funny is that he hates my activism.

This is the most he has ever said about shrubby

[OneTwentyoNine]

20. Great!! I voted NO to this BS a couple of hours ago....n/t

[atommom]

27. Two no votes from this household too. Still hoping we prevail...

but I'm worried.

[nickinSTL]

9. so, will Kansas join its neighbor, Missouri

in passing the I hate gays amendment to the state constitution?

We in Missouri also had a law prohibiting gay marriage before the rw decided they had to put it in the state constitution.

:mad:

[greenbriar]

12. School Board is NOT meaningless...we need Lanora NOLAN OUT

but yesterday

[OneTwentyoNine]

22. Uhhh...guess you didn't catch my sarcasm but....

would Marty Marshall be a better choice?? Last time he was on the board he wanted to do away with the teaching of evolution for creationism--oh wait,now they call it Intelligent Design.

I'm in the Maize school district so I can't vote on Wichita SBM,but why would Marshall be better?

[Dark]

23. I still cannot believe that Kansas is doing this. I mean,

it's not like GLBT people are scrambling to move there. . .

[atommom]

25. But didn't you get the memo? They're trying to turn our children

gay through our teevees!

[Dark]

26. Oh, I know! Kids should only watch wholesome and biblical shows like

The Passion.

'Christ loved you so much that he was cut, gouged, ripped, torn, whipped, bloodied, mutilated, and signed a movie deal with Mel Gibson.'

[atommom]

28. MEL GIBSON!???

Damn, he must really love us. :wow:
