Injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere.

Are you suggesting that we should tolerate injustice, as long as it hasn't been as long or deep as a past transgression?

This amendment does not go far enough! They should modify it as follows:

Quote :

"Marriage between non-homosapiens is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this state."

That will show those gosh darn dirty apes we mean business! We don't want those types in our state, Skeeter. Now lets get 'er dun.

"I meant that for shock value, but the meaning behind it is true. Obama won NC mainly due to first-time voters wanting to elect a black president, and their second time voting will be for his re-election. They will not be at the polls May 8th."

Prop 8 passed in California on the same day Obama was elected. One of the Bluest of blue states, and they still had to deal with the repeal of gay marriage. The African-American community tends to vote against gay rights.

5/3/2012 2:31:46 AM

I can't wait when this amendment passes!

I've heard some of our elected officials are already working on an amendment 2 to follow this one up.

Quote :

"Amendment 2: A marriage between 1 man 1 woman shall be considered valid only if the woman is a virgin. If the woman is not a virgin, she shall be executed by the state of North Carolina."

We need to protect that sanctity of marriage!

5/3/2012 6:01:56 AM

It doesn't matter if it passes, it will be struck down in the courts. That being said, if you vote for this you should be punched in the face because you're a fucking hateful bigot.

5/3/2012 6:53:00 AM

Dear Lord, Jesus Christ,

I pray to you tonight to smite all the faggots, Muslims, sluts (non-married non-virgins), people that use drugs, cheaters, thieves, people partaking in anal intercourse, liars [for my full list, see my awesomely amazing blog, Jesus].

Your pal,

Heard a great radio ad supporting this amendment today. Basically said that South Carolina attracted Boeing to build a plant down there and they have a same sex ban in their constitution, therefore we should put one in our constitution because clearly it helps attract business

5/3/2012 9:15:21 AM

@wolfpackgrrr, was the radio ad paid for by Billy Biggot's Biblecamp Foundation?

5/3/2012 9:27:59 AM

"It’s become commonplace in Massachusetts schools for teachers to prominently display photos of their same-sex “spouses” and occasionally bring them to school functions. Both high schools in my own town now have principals who are “married” to their same-sex partners, whom they bring to school and introduce to the students."

-Brian Camenker on an anti-gay marriage pamphlet available on voteformarriagenc.com

Because only straight married people should have pictures of their beloved on their desks.

5/3/2012 12:41:56 PM

Lol, Brian is making a moot point since homosexual couples can't marry to begin with.

No one has to respect your opinion, dyne. We have freedom of speech and freedom of religion. That means people are free to believe a book of poorly written fairy tales cobbled together by barely literate nomads thousands of years ago should guide laws in 2012. And others have the freedom to say, no, you're wrong, that's stupid.

5/3/2012 3:30:33 PM

well i mean, no, religion is not supposed to "guide laws".. that's why we're here. i guess people can think that, but that's not what our country was founded on.

5/3/2012 4:18:34 PM

dude, those are some real poop dreads

5/3/2012 4:20:43 PM

Mr. Marriage, Leroy Gingrich, giving us this little trinket on Amendment One. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h19BiPhX2h0 Do you FOR people really want this guy representing your notion of the sanctity of marriage? Or is it okay to be on your third marriage as long is it's with someone of the opposite sex?

5/3/2012 5:12:11 PM

cheating on your spouse ain't bad either, also as long as it's with someone of the opposite sex.

5/3/2012 5:13:35 PM

That seems to be appropriate behavior for the staffers of Speaker Thom Tillis (the guy who championed this blight on our state)...... with lobbyists no less. Shame.

5/3/2012 5:18:57 PM

If the state's laws and beliefs are so bad, you could always just move.

5/3/2012 5:33:26 PM

if you don't like the president, you can move to another country!

David Crabtree worked on a special about the amendment. He asked pro-amendment groups to provide him with the name of a prominent CEO in NC who'd go on camera in support. The groups could not provide a single name.

Amendment One: Good for business!

5/4/2012 2:54:00 AM

[Edited on May 4, 2012 at 2:57 AM. Reason : []]

I'm actually reaching a zen-like state about this abhorrent amendment and its imminent passage. Given its hurried and overly broad language, I can see legal precidence prevailing and this getting rightfully obliterated. I hope that dyne and his ilk are happy with the new layers of big government they've seen fit to heap upon the rest of us (however short its duration). GG, Oliver Cromwell would be proud...
