The View Needs Glasses- Prop 8 (Margaret and Helen lay into the View, Prop 8, certain Christians,)

[Are_grits_groceries]

Ignorance is bliss… unless we are talking about someone else’s ignorance. And in this case we are. I will be the first to admit that my talking about gay marriage - or gay anything - is like Sarah Palin musing on the global ramifications of power struggles in the Middle East. It will most likely be a Katie Couric moment but here we go…

If marriage is an institution supported by this country then it must be made available to all of its citizens according to the law. If however, it is strictly a religious institution then a constitutional amendment determining who can and cannot have access to it is sort of missing the point. Religious freedom except for people who are not religious is a mutually exclusive concept. And if we keep going down this path the concept of a Christ-like Christian will become an oxymoron. And speaking of moron…

I have had it with The View and I blame Barbara Walters. First she allows Elisabeth to be the voice of fear and war and then magically on Wednesday after the election all of it is immediately forgotten and forgiven. It is painfully obvious that Elisabeth’s opinions are not her own but rather the talking points being given to her to fit the part. OK. I don’t like it but I can excuse it because Elisabeth comes by her hate honestly. She knows exactly what she is doing and in her world being young, blonde and married to a football star gives her permission to be a bitch. What does she care? Her children will be able to buy their way out of any problem. By the way, Harold says she’s not married to the good football player… his brother is the good one. I wouldn’t know. I just know the football player who married Elisabeth went for a Hail Mary pass and ended up with just a pass to hell.

It seems to me that the loudest Christians have suddenly become the most un-Christ-like people. And my sincere apologies to those good-hearted Christians who have found themselves caught in the crosshairs. You know, Harold is a Catholic. How would all of you feel about a constitutional amendment banning meat on Fridays? How about banning dancing because Baptist seem to have two left feet? And how about birth control? A lot of religions don’t allow it. I wonder how little Cherry from The View would feel about a constitutional amendment banning that?

If you want to protect Holy Wedlock, by all means padlock the church door whenever guys who love Judy Garland come-a-knocking. But if you want to protect marriage push for a constitutional amendment to ban divorce.

But let’s step away from the church and state argument for a second. I posted yesterday that love is about the heart not the body. Trust me, if it was about the body a lot of us would be in a world of trouble. You can’t legislate love between two consenting adults. You just can’t no matter how hard you try. If you want to save marriage, marry someone you love. And that’s all I have to say about that.

She really lays into Sherry in the rest of the blog. I wish Margaret and Helen could go on the View.
The hostesses wouldn't stand a chance!

1. Ahhhh - men

Margaret and Helen!

But if you want to protect marriage push for a constitutional amendment to ban divorce.


I like the way those two old birds think. I think that should be the Liberal response to Prop 8 - it would pull the rug right out from under the haters. If they believe in the sanctity of 'marriage' so much? Then why aren't they going for the Holy Grail and making it illegal to get divorced too? :rofl:


Gotta be honest here . . . one of my core reasons for thinking that not allowing gay men/lesbians to marry whom they love is just plain silly? Because Heterosexuals aren't exactly doing the most fantastic job of upholding marriage.

I'm with Bill Maher. If gays and lesbians want to be as miserable as heterosexuals, married, tied down, ball and chained with someone else trying to tell them what to do - go for it! This is a human's right to be 'tethered'.

In the meantime? Just Bill Maher? Marriage to ANYONE of any gender is Not For Me! :rofl:

2. Anyone who watches The View for stimulating discourse should be euthanized.

Who honestly gives a fuck what those twits have to say?

3. Whoopi and Joy are cool

But the show is still a tremendous waste of their intelligence.

At least it keeps them in front of a camera.

--p!
Whoopi and Joy. I like the sound of that.

4. Joy is alright.

Whoopi tries to change the topic whenever an argument starts, though. It gets annoying.
