What ever happened to the concept of respecting other people's opinions? I was always taught to disagree agreeably even when passionate about the issue. Unfortunately, the anti-family, homosexual groups have gone nuclear by taking disagreeing to a whole new level.
Not only will those who disagree with the redefinition of marriage as a right for same-sex couples to marry be pummeled with anti-discrimination accusations; their names, contributions and religious affiliation is being published on a blog or website near you.
The intention is to smear the good names of those that are brave enough to stand up for what they believe and put their hard-earned money where their mouths are. A request has gone out from overzealot activists for all to do Internet searches on these names in order to find some dirt.
I have heard of this type of political ball being played, but normally it goes on quietly and discretly. These folks are in-your-face shameless.
Oh, and did I mention that the only religion published is that of the Mormons? In fact, the homosexual-rights folks are protesting in front of the Oakland LDS Temple where they hope to discredit and harrass those attending services.
If I did not know better, I would think this is a hate crime...
Smearing the names, harrassing and revealing the religious affiliation of political contributers may or may not be a hate crime, but it is a crime. At the very least it is immoral and anti-American.

Dad, You Make Your Family and Community Better
Sunday, June 15 is Father's Day, and this is a message for all Dads.
Do you know just how indispensable you are to your wife and your children? To your community?
When you are present in the home and married to your children’s mother, so many positive things are in play.
For instance, your teens are significantly more likely to be involved in constructive use of their time through groups, sports and religious organizations.
Marriage strengthens the bonds you have with your children. Typically, you are more involved with your children and enjoy better relationships with them than unwed or divorced fathers. Your role of husband and father encourages you to voluntarily take responsibility for your children.
Students living with you and their mother score consistently higher in reading and math than other children.
Your wife is statistically much safer because of your presence.
Just having you at home and in their lives means your boys and girls are less likely to be suspended or expelled from school, less likely to commit delinquent crimes, less likely to be reported for problem behaviors at school, less likely to receive low grades in two or more subjects and more likely to score well on standard tests of cognitive development.
Your children are more likely to complete high school, attend or graduate from college.
Your daughters are less likely to become pregnant as teens.
With you present and in their lives, your kids are less vulnerable to serious emotional illness, depression and suicide.
Happy Father’s Day. Remember how valuable you are to your wives and children. Your presence in the home contributes to positive dynamics for your family and your community.
Enjoy your day!

California’s Supreme Court Declares Marriage Unconstitutional
California’s Supreme Court refused today to recognize a “compelling state interest” in traditional marriage:
"We cannot find that retention of the traditional definition of marriage constitutes a compelling state interest. Accordingly, we conclude that to the extent the current California statutory provisions limit marriage to opposite-sex couples, these statutes are unconstitutional."
By a 4-3 decision, the court struck down Proposition 22, which defined marriage as one man and one woman. That initiative won by a landslide 61-39 percent margin.
High courts in other jurisdictions, including New York and Maryland, have in fact found a compelling interest for their states to recognize only marriage between one man and one woman. The California court could have done likewise, but chose not to.
Justices voting in the majority were:
Chief Justice Ronald George, who wrote the opinion. He was appointed by former Gov. Pete Wilson, a Republican, in 1991.
Justice Joyce Kennard, appointed by Republican Gov. George Deukmejian in 1989.
Justice Kathryn Mickle Werdegar, appointed in 1994 by Gov. Wilson.
Justice Carlos Moreno, appointed in 2001 by Gov. Gray Davis.
Dissenting:
Justice Marvin Baxter, appointed by Gov. Deukmejian in 1990. He accused the court of substituting “its own social policy views for those expressed by the people.”
Justice Ming Chin, a 1996 Wilson appointee.
Justice Carol Corrigan, a 2005 appointee of current Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Today's ruling will have unintended consequences. The ruling will allow legal same-sex “marriages” in 30 days and puts men, women and children at risk. Taxpayers will pay out more in social agency costs as a result of today's decisions. The nations that do allow same-sex “marriage” have shown high rates of domestic violence rates in the homosexual community, and children do not fare well in homes headed by homosexual adults. The safest place for children is in the homes of married parents of opposite gender.
