Tongue firmly in cheek of course. :-)

1. Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
2. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
3. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
4. Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can’t marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
5. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed
6. Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn’t be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren’t full yet, and the world needs more children.
7. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
8. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That’s why we have only one religion in America.
9. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
10. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven’t adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

I am apalled at the public and congress’ obscene willingness to sacrifice our freedoms for a security that no one can truly give them. It is an utter blasphemy to refer to the sacrifice of liberty for security as patriotic when our Founding Fathers stood for the exact opposite–they sacrificed their personal security to secure the liberty of future generations.

Forget the “war” in Iraq. The terrorists have already won if the public’s reaction to the mere threat of terrorism is to dismantle our democracy.

We lived for 50 years under the direct and imminent threat of overwhelming nuclear, biological, and chemical attack from the former Soviet Union and somehow managed to preserve our democracy through this dark chapter in history. Now, we are to be undone by a few religious fanatics who MAY get a weapon of mass destruction to use against us? Pathetic.

These so-called patriots are the weakest of men. I for one would rather die in a WMD attack a free man than live in fear of terrorism or the tyranny of those unscrupulous men who would “protect” me at the expense of my own liberty.
