Letters
Months of lies and hate
I thought I could make it through the Question 1 debate without writing a letter, knowing that no matter how impassioned my language or how logical my reasoning, it would have no effect on the immense insecurity and obdurate ignorance that is the hallmark of those against marriage equality in Maine, but several recent writers pushed me over the edge.
First, David Dostie wrote on Oct. 20 that "to think ... God is wrong is stunning." Well, I think it is stunning that any sensible adult believes in God or believes they are qualified to speak for him.
Then on Oct. 22, Mary M. Roy stated that being gay is a "lifestyle" and is a "learned behavior." One wonders at what point in the halcyon days of her youth she "chose" to become a heterosexual.
And finally on Oct. 24, Catherine Malo wrote, "When did it become acceptable to pursue and achieve happiness at any cost?" What cost? And to whom? She later questions why the state would put a stamp of approval on a less than ideal union. Was she referring to heterosexual marriage that has a 40 percent failure rate?
I think that after months of spreading lies, hate and discontent, all those psuedo-Christians need to have Luke 6:42 tattooed to the backs of their hands.

Mrs Allen: I too often times
Mrs Allen: I too often times have tried to be civil, I would like to inform you that I am not a false christian. I believe in his word. His word is true and the only thing that is true,has been and will always be. It's not Christians that is sowing hate, Lies and discontent.
If you would read the scriptures with a carnal mind you shall never understand his word. I will go further, for a person that does not accept another opinion as you apparently have, it brings me to a simple conclusion, You Mrs Allen are indeed a BIGOT.
verified Question: If all the
Question: If all the benefits that are made available to straight couples were legislated to be made available to same sex couples, but their union was called Civil Union and not marriage. Would that be acceptable to the same sex marriage proponents? Don't give me the canned bs, just a simple yes or no answer.

Such were some of you, but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I'm The Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you." No on 1.

Mr. Allen, as I can see, you
Mr. Allen, as I can see, you don't believe in God that is what is blinding you. God also says that man will not sleep with man. Homosexuals want to redefine marriage, they have the same rights that we, hetersexuals, do. Get a lawyer put your significant other as beneficiary, your IRA, your 401, and whatever else that is what my husband and I have done, we've settled everything on paper and the lawyer wrote it up, easy. Stop wanting more rights. May God bless you.
And what about the lesbian
And what about the lesbian couple in Florida that did all this and yet the woman had to die alone because the hospital would not let her significant other into the room and then a judge upheld the decision?

Ronald, I do rail about debt
Ronald,
I do rail about debt growth, but the intention of this thread was to show Alan how the government is currently overarching its span of control. That is, how successful (or unsuccessful) the government manages its programs.
My healthcare arguments have never supported the current cost structure. My healthcare arguments have more to do with oBamaCare being the wrong solution, and in general, government controlled healthcare being the wrong solution. Anyhow, that is a topic for another day.

George Bush in September 2008
when the stock market started crashing is the one who bailed the banks out by creating TARP in October 2008. During that fateful week of September 2008, a half a TRILLION dollars was taken out of the money markets (offshore? Must have been because to this day no one has been arrested for the electronic run on the banks that day!) in 90 minutes. The Federal Reserve pushed $180 BILLION dollars onto the market to stave off a total collapse. It worked temporarily, but then Bush said it was time to bail the banks out. He created a $753 BILLION dollar TARP (protects ya from the bad weather!) bailout and before he left office, he took $353 billion and gave it out to the Big Banks without strings attached. The Big Banks went wild with their new found money! In fact, after Obama won in November 2008, the Big Banks were on a high again and when Obama in early 2009 after being sworn in started adding strings to the bailout money, that's when the republicans of the nation started calling him a big meaning to the banks.
Guess how much Bush's TARP has cost Americans so far? $7 TRILLION DOLLARS. Had George Bush decided to give every single American who filed a tax return in 2007 a $50,000 check, our nation would have flourished and he would have been a hero leaving his presidency, but he didn't do that. Sad.
