http://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2014/01/06/ignorant-utah-stupid-fs-call-for-a-revolution/" They clearly dont understand what a Constitution is, or how it works. The horribly-named Constitutional Peace Officers group in Utah (many of whom are not active peace officers, and all of whom are calling for an unconstitutional rebellion against, well, the Constitution) is calling for an uprising. The reason for their uprising?
Its because they hates them some gay people. The recent court rulings affirming the Constitutional rights of LGBT Americans have truly ticked off the nimrod troglodytes of the Beehive state, so they propose a revolution to allow their state to continue the legalized hatred and persecution of taxpaying American citizens. From the article:
HIGHLAND, Utah Billed as a call for an uprising, opponents of same-sex marriage gathered for a meeting in Highland on Saturday.
Former Graham County, Ariz., Sheriff Richard Mack spoke about issues concerning the U.S. Constitution, including same-sex marriage.
Mack says that since it appears that Herbert and other elected leaders have failed at their jobs, its up to law enforcement and everyday citizens to deny same-sex marriage.
The people of Utah have rights, too, not just the homosexuals. The homosexuals are shoving their agenda down our throats, Mack said.
What a load of lizards***. Equality for other people does NOT take away our rights. But hey, hatred IS the Constitution, according to these lamebrained yahoos. Sorry, folks, but that isnt how the law works.
And on a practical level, telling the government that you plan to take up arms against it (and to subvert governmental officials to participate in your little putsch) is not likely to win the hearts and minds of said government. Do you suppose theyve heard of a book called How to Win Friends and Influence People?
Apparently not. But hey, none of these nitwit wannabees understand the Constitution either, so the lack of basic literacy is hardly surprising."

(16,838 posts)it's unconstitutional to nullify certain marriages from other states, even more when they're forced to allow same-sex marriages in their own states. Most of the hate will come from 'Christians.'
I've never owned a gun, but I'm seriously considering buying one. I've heard about how scary things were when they were integrating down here, and I'm not one who takes shit from people. I've never felt threatened around here, though. Most gay people in this area are out and don't get any trouble from anybody. It's really the gay people upstate that I'm most concerned about.

Never noticed that, but you are right.
A socialogical-specific reflex?
