I can’t get the picture out of my mind of Republicans walking out of big, stained wooden doors like puppies with tails in between their legs.
It was just yesterday I said, "It isn't even about being on a side. These people need to open up their eyes because they are tearing this country apart." It is no surprise, if you take a second to evaluate. Arizona State Sen. Pearce was sitting in the corner of the classroom today. His little minions, at such a perfect time, got out of their trance-like state and looked at what they were doing to America. They rejected the 1070 package that would have taken the Arizona law to places it had never been before.
I'm glad that these officials are realizing that although they can ignore the common man, if we scare away tourists, freak the rich people out, and lose money, then....
WHERE IS THE PEN? ME FIRST!
What a surprise.

On another note: According to a poll put out by The Washington Post and NBC, over half of this country supports marriage. People are getting sick of hearing about this. But while the polls look strong, I can read through a handful of threads like these:
Written on PeoplesPoliticsiii.yuku.com:
"gays have equal rights. they have the right to be normal but they reject that right. what gays want is superior rights, they want special treatment. the only thing gays need is a program to convert them back to normal humans."
Written on www.slantright.com referring to the possiblilities of "the radical homosexuals" taking over:
"Homosexual advocacy in schools. Your children or grandchildren will be taught homosexuality is moral, natural and good. High school children will learn perverted sex acts as part of "safe sex" education."
Written on Health Workers Forced To.:
"The Obama administration rescinded most of a federal regulation Friday designed to protect health workers who refuse to provide care they find objectionable on personal or religious grounds, putting our nation's medical personnel at risk of catching gay. Why does Obama hate America so much?"
All of these quotes were posted today: March 18th, 2011. The hate is still alive, and we must fight with everything we can to leave it behind, and be who we were meant to be when the 14th Amendment came out of hiding and onto paper.
For fuck's sake, we're AMERICA. Let's remember that. Keep writing letters, keep making phone calls, knock on doors, and stopping people in the street. We've gotten thus far, we will finish.
Don't give up. That doesn't go for gay America. When a minority becomes the majority, things change. Keep reading.
