Protect Marriage Illinois
I'm not opposed to same-sex marriages. I belong to a Church that will bless same-sex unions. I'd rather seen marriages then civil unions.
I don't want to see the definition of marriage constitutionalized. I don't want to see judges define it. I agree with Scalia when he said Judges no better to judge moral questions then anyone else. Marriage is not an inalienable right and best left to legislatures.
I'd vote against this amendment...
...but Rick Garcia really steams me when he talks like this today in the Daily Herald,
“This has nothing to do with public policy,” said Rick Garcia, political director for the gay rights group Equality Illinois. “It has everything to do with right-wing politics.”Because he can sit with Blagojevich's appointee to an anti-discrimination commission and her Spiritual Advisor can spout hate like this, about a Gay Pride parade in Jerusalem,
[***]
Garcia said the referendum is meant to identify and organize conservative voters.
“If they were so concerned with marriage, why aren’t they promoting a constitutional ban on divorce?” Garcia said. “Divorce is a threat to heterosexual marriage. Gay people are not.”
"And the Christian right, with your blindness to that wicked state of Israel…can that be the holy land, and you have gay parades, and want to permit to have a gay parade in Jerusalem when no prophet ever sanctioned that behavior. HOW CAN THAT BE THE ISRAEL, how can that be Jerusalem with secular people running the holy land when it should be the holy people running the holy land. That land is gonna be cleansed with BLOOD!"So the Illinois Family Institute is extremist and Farrahkan's ok.
Liberals and the left have either lost all sense of reality or just plain, raw, opportunists void of any principles and values.
We need a referundum to protect Illinois from Rick Garcia. If he can't defend Liberal values throughout the world, how can expect anyone to support him here in Illinois.
He's the last guy who should be talking about public policy vs politics.

Rick Garcia is a hypocrite and does not believe in Democracy. To advance his personal and radical sexual agenda he helped proudly give us George Ryan.
Garcia is afraid of the Referendum because it will pass, and do well in Black and Hispanic communities. It will prove once and for all that the electorate does not support gay marriage.
Let him put a pro-gay marriage referendum on and it will fail.
People do not support gay marriage.
Homosexual behavior is obviously and inherently different than race or gender.
Do me a favor and watch the comments here... Garica is indifferent to people who advocate terrible things... so lets focus on that.
above in reference to a comment I deleted without a trace.. called him names. there is some fine line here but I don't want to spend the rest of the evening moderating...
thanks

Usually you are a wimp...
But you are right on for calling out Garcia's hypocrisy. No venom is too extreme for him to spew over conservatives and Christians...and the MSM prints it without question or perspective. But just let some strategic ally of Equality Illinois offend human rights, etc, Garcia is nowhere to be found for a quote.
The next time he heeps extreme abuse on anyone, the press should exclude him as a news/quote source. If they want pro-gay quotes, have them go to the Human Rights Campaign in Washington. (Of course, I won't hold my breath.)
Wait a minute! You've provided no clear parallel that would indicate that Garcia approves of Farakhan more than he approves of the IFI. He hasn't quit a committee because one of the members is in the IFI.
bill barr,
the post you took down which suggests that Garcia promotes/supports abberant behavior is not mere indiferrence
but behavior that is common at his events eg very vivid displays of homo-erotic connection in an explicit and physical way
you can see it on the IFI website
it is disgusting
Garcia if not promotes at least allows this type of behavior
"Liberals and the left have either lost all sense of reality or just plain, raw, opportunists void of any principles and values."
I'd say that you paint with a rather broad brush. Auditioning for a job as a Fox news commentator?

No, just disgusted by the lack of compliants from the left.
Peter Tatchell is a gay activist in the UK. He's probably the person responsible for getting homosexuality removed as an illiness... he's written this about what's happened with the left and the way they've happily joined up with radical Islam over in the UK. It seems we have the same thing going on here with Garcia and Farrahkan's followers.

Tipper Gore had it right when she helped found Parents Music Resource Center.
Dan Qualye got it right when he said,
[i]t doesn't help matters when primetime TV has Murphy Brown—a character who supposedly epitomizes today's intelligent, highly paid, professional woman—mocking the importance of fathers, by bearing a child alone, and calling it just another 'lifestyle choice.'
Gays aren't responsible for the debasement of culture... but many of they're leaders are not helping with some of the things they do and say either.
Quayle and Gore were both ridiculed and lambasted by the liberals and the left. That was a mistake.
Tipper shouldn't have been mocked but it was completely right to mock Dan Quayle. He was the Vice President not a TV critic, and the government has no business telling the people what culture they should or should not have. That is up to the general population and the decisions it makes on a free market.
Quayle does have a right, it is called the 1st Amendment, and politicians do and should talk about moral issues, especially ones, that regardless of per se morality, affect the public and are part of public policy eg single mothers, children of single mothers statistically have lower educations and higher crime, single mothers are disproportionately lower income
so single motherhood should not be promoted
The Atlantic Monthly actually had a magazine cover that read DAN QUAYLE WAS RIGHT
