This is what we're up against...
From today's NY Times:

"After Victory, Crusader Against Same-Sex Marriage Thinks Big"

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23 - The warning call came in December 1995. "Do you folks on the mainland know what is going on here?" .....

...Mr. Burress confessed that he did not. "They're going to legalize gay marriage here, and it's coming your way," the friend said.....

....And so Mr. Burress became a Paul Revere for the movement against same-sex marriage....

He envisions holding town-hall-style meetings early next year in Ohio's 88 counties to identify issues, recruit organizers and train volunteers. With a cadre of 15 to 20 leaders in each county, he says he believes religious conservatives can be running school boards, town councils and county prosecutors' offices across the state within a few years.

"I'm building an army," Mr. Burress said. "We can't just let people go back to the pews and go to sleep."

We need to be unified in order to beat them. We can't afford to splinter and run off in 20 different directions. We MUST harness the ABB energy and build on it, but how? What, who and how will form the head of this movement?

1. Anyone in Ohio
who is reading this, look at this man's face and memorize his name. The article states that he is a former pornography addict and my guess is he is a current one as well. These kind of people spend a lot of time pointing at others while engaging in tawdry behavior.

If he could get caught with his hand in the cookie jar (so to speak) it would be rich!!!!

2. These people don't change. But least of all they are the last to sit
in judgment of any fucking body.

3. It always did take one to know 1
Yup! Wait long enough and they'll be hanging themselves, publicly! Wait till they start turning on one another. It's a matter of time. Has anyone noticed that American Justice and City Confidential concentrates their most sinful stories in the bible belt. Yup... be patient... but that smile. Geez! Gives ya the creeps.

4. This is what it has come to, I'm afraid: Weak-minded
strong-willed religious zealots running our government.
To quote Cheech and Chong: "once I was all messed up on drugs, now I'm all messed up on the lord."
