THIS NEWS JUST IN

Barack Obama is now president of the United States of America.

Anonymous 11/05/08(Wed)00:46:43 No.2027687

Who else was sitting there imagining what would happen if Obama was shot and killed during his speech by some radical racist?

I can picture the pause of silence and disbelief followed by the largest riot in history.

Ben --

I'm about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first.

We just made history.

And I don't want you to forget how we did it.

You made history every single day during this campaign -- every day you knocked on doors, made a donation, or talked to your family, friends, and neighbors about why you believe it's time for change.

I want to thank all of you who gave your time, talent, and passion to this campaign.

We have a lot of work to do to get our country back on track, and I'll be in touch soon about what comes next.

But I want to be very clear about one thing...

All of this happened because of you.

Thank you,

Barack

Lawsuit will be filed tomorrow
the supreme court will decide.

I voted yes, you don't need the rights (tax benefits) of a traditional marriage.

I flipped off a yes on 8 demonstrator on my way home today, since my friend was too chicken to yell at them and wouldn't let me put the window down in time.

The first part of this.
You people are idiots, Martin v. Hunter's Lessee showed that in cases of Constitutional decisions, the Supreme Court of the United States overrules decisions of state Supreme Courts and therefore this will hit the SC. The SC might be a little red right now, but even they know bullshit law when they see it.

so what happens to all the people who got married, does it nullify their marriages? if so, then I feel sad for Zulu and Ellen Degeneres

oh shit it passed?

I was wondering what was up with the props, someone said they hadn't been fully counted yet.

I'm not really homophobic, and I'm not against gay's being able to have some sort of official union, but i just dont think marriage is the way to go. Think about it this way: marriage is and always has been based on religion. And pretty much all religions condemn gays.

Why would a gay couple want to go to a place where they aren't even tolerated to be married. I think there should be a sort of official union for gays similar to marriage, with all the same legal benefits, only the ceremony wont take place in a church.

Condemning homosexuality is part of the church's beliefs. The government cant force a church to go against their own beliefs. What ever happened to seperation of church and state?

I hate to spoil it for you, but marriage is completely meaningless without the state to verify it. You could get a hundred priests/ministers/rabbis/clerics/shrine maidens to marry you, but unless you fill those government documents, it's not worth shit.

It's been this way since the days of Rome. Churches only got involved in marriages when the state did, before that, it was actually an event where two different families would come together and celebrate.

This only makes sense if you're against atheists celebrating Christmas. Partnership ceremonies are called marriage, just like the winter solstice celebration is now called Christmas. These existed before Christianity / Judaism and will still exist long after they're gone

You just nailed it, they're RED, they'll let it pass, even if its bullshit. Because GOD TOLD THEM ITS WRONG.

Marriage is bullshit.

Marriage is a government/religious institution which has always always discriminated, objectified, or otherwise streamlined groups of people; be it men, women, children, non-believers, homosexuals, werewolves, vampires, sharks, and the like. It has never been equal or fair at any time in history, nor the final solution of expressing your love for another person.

The only legitimate reason to care about giving homosexuals the right to marry is tax breaks. Unfortunately money is not how most people saw the issue.

I think your perspective is valid, so I'm answering it with the truth.

Rights granted by marriage:

Right to visit your spouse on their death bed.

Right to have care of your children if your spouse dies (think about this: you and your partner adopt a baby. You do it in your partner's name, because, since you are not married, you cannot adopt the child together. Ten years later, your partner dies. Is that child, who you have raised for ten years, your child? No. Because you are not legally its parent.)

Right to be covered by your spouse's healthcare (depending on policy, obviously)

Rights to tax adjustment based on a shared income.

Many other rights concerning social security, medical issues, and divorce rights.

See anything about religion up there? We don't want to get married in a church, we want to have the rights that married couples have.

4 people have seen the light.:

Did anybody catch during obamas acceptance speech. Instead of talking about doing all of the things that he said he would do, the key points he made is that he will try to do these things. Its funny how quick things can change after he's officialy president.
Maybe this is what he meant by "change". What do you think?

Pepe said...

Yeah I caught that lol, all that talk about hope, change and "Yes, we can". He's a good speaker, I gotta admit. I was swayed for a while.
Thanks for following my blog!

Anon: It goes to show that he's not making false promises. I haven't seen the speech myself, but it'll be on the 5:00 news in an hour.

Anonymous said...

Ok...Hes not making false promises now that he is elected. But during his campaign he never used the word "try". He always said with the utmost confidence that he "would" bring these changes.
It seems like his speech is telling people not to expect much because the problems that we have are complicated and will take a long time to fix.
