California Gays Blame Mormons For Yes Vote On Proposition 8

The Gay Community isn't very cheerful due to the fact that California's voters voted in favor of Proposition 8, which makes gay marriage illegal for the second time. Mormons (Latter-Day Saints), who happen to believe strongly in traditional marriage, are being targeted by gay activists who claim they are largely responsible for the "yes" vote on Proposition 8.

It is unfortunate that Mormons have to be the target of hostile gay activists who just don't seem to get the fact that they are not being discriminated against. Homosexuality is not a religion, nor is it a race, even though this was implied in one of their pre-Election ads.

The unhappy, and not-so-gay, gay activists claim that Mormons put up most of the money to fund Proposition 8. Does this justify making scapegoats out of Mormons?

President-Elect Barack Obama Is Late For First Press Conference

Did anyone else notice that President-Elect Barack Obama was approximately 23 minutes late for his first official Press Conference this morning? It was supposed to start at 11:30 AM on the West Coast, but he did not walk out before the cameras, according to my clock, until 11:53 AM. His current team of advisers stood there patiently waiting for him to appear.

I wonder what the problem was in the long delay? After all, time is supposed to be money, as the old saying goes, so one would think that the newly elected president Barack Obama would have been on time, especially since this conference focused on the current economic crisis facing America. He seemed composed enough, his usual unusually calm demeanor manifest for all the world to see, so speculation will get us nowhere.

Californians Tell The World They Don't Want Gay Marriage

Californians voted "yes" on November 4, 2008 for Proposition 8, one of the most controversial propositions in the country. According to the Los Angeles Times, the vote was:


Yes 52.5%
No 47.5%
Precincts Reporting - 100%


"We caused Californians to rethink this issue," Proposition 8 strategist Jeff Flint said.
"Eight years ago, Californians voted 61% to define marriage as being only between a man and a woman."

"The California Supreme Court overturned that measure, Proposition 22, in it May 15 decision legalizing same-sex marriage on the grounds that the state Constitution required equal treatment of gay and lesbian couples."


At least conservative voters in California received some solace, in spite of the unfortunate fact that John McCain/Sarah Palin lost the Presidential Election to Barack Obama/Joe Biden. Will the delightful Sarah Palin run for President of the United States in 2012? There is already some surprisingly positive talk about that possibility in the liberal media.


Conservatives, do not lose heart! Instead, continue to instruct others less knowledgeable than yourselves about the merits of being a conservative. Pray that the newly elected President and Vice-President of the United States of America, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, turn out to be miraculously less liberal than we previously thought.
