[Thread about gay marriage...]
This is all I'll say about this thread. I feel the same way about protecting myself and my country if a radical minority ever forces the government to enact pretend "marriages" between people of the same-sex, as our founding fathers did when they wrote the declaration of independence.
Take that how you will.

So, you think yourself to be standing up for liberty by denying people the liberty to be who they are? You are willing to be put to death for your views against same-sex marriage?
What about everyone else protecting itself from the radical minority of Xian fundyism?
You know, I love it when they use the word "Force." As in "forced the government to do X." It makes it sound like the government really didn't want to, but did anyway because they were afraid of the radical "homosexual agenda." In reality, laws get passed because a majority of people get elected who think like the people. If the government ever "caves" to an interest group, it's because they think the group has a good, supportable position.
as our founding fathers did when they wrote the declaration of independence.
Some of the complaints against King George listed in the Declaration of Independence: For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
The complaints listed by Bees:
He let people of the same sex marry each other
Sorry, bees, but your complaint seems pretty trivial compared to those of the colonists.
Yeah, except the Founding Fathers had a real complaint against Britain. You, on the other hand, do not (against anyone).

Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
