Gays and Marriage, Bill Maher, New Rules, 06-19-09,

Last nights New Rules were pretty good. Bill had some very valid points about our members of Congress and the members of the Democratic party.

We knew who Barack Obama was when we voted him into office, or we should have. Anyone who thought he was any different than a centrist or a pragmatist really didn't know Barack Obama. If they thought he was a bleeding heart liberal, they hadn't been paying attention.

The Republicans and McCain did everything they could to try to paint him that way, calling him the most liberal, the farthest left of anyone, and it went on and on. The scare factor of the Republicans is always high, and to a certain extent it worked. People still think that, and believe he is betraying them, because he isn't doing what they believe he stood for. Well he didn't stand for a lot of the things they think he did, he never said he was for same sex marriage, he has always said he was for civil unions, but he always wanted the same civil rights for all, no matter the sexual orientation.

I may disagree with him, and so may lots of others, but he isn't saying you can't get married, he is just saying that is his belief, and he says that shouldn't be a federal law. Which is why he wants DOMA struck down by legislation through Congress, which it has to be done. He can't just do an Executive Order, which everyone needs to realize.

DADT is another one. This is NOT something that can be changed by Executive Order. Oh, I know people think it can, but they are naive, and need to educate themselves. This has to be done by law, through Congress. That is the only way it can be changed. That is because it is a law, not just a policy. If it had been enacted through an Executive Order, then the president could just overturn it with the stroke of his pen, but Bill Clinton signed it into law, with an act of Congress, therefore it takes an Act of Congress to overturn it or the Supreme Court.

UPDATE Here is the relevant article you need to look at, Only congress or the SCOTUS can do anything about DADT. Congress must repeal or supersede 10 U.S.C. § 654.

So, rail against the president all you want, protest in the street, yell, scream say he is breaking a promise, but you look like a fool unless you know what you are talking about. And you don't.

WHEN YOU HAVE OPENLY GAY MEMBERS OF CONGRESS WHO HAVEN'T SENT A BILL THROUGH FOR OVERTURNING DADT AND DOMA, WHO IS BETRAYING WHO?

I think it is time to ask yourselves that question. Listen to what Bill Maher has to say, he is really spot on with his statements here..

UPDATE BELOW!! Have you seen the Anti Gay Marriage Ad they are airing?? It is FAKE!!!

Yes, that's right. They have this ad showing people who say that Gay Marriage will hurt them and you and your marriage. Now I haven't figured out how that is going to happen. But that's what the ad says. If you haven't seen it.. here it is watch it for yourself.



Now, you tell me, what does that say to you... look at this and see how this is going to hurt you and your marriage or your business if Joe and Sam or Sally and Beckie get married.

Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender civil rights organization, released a statement and a factual rebuttal today on a television spot produced by the National Organization for Marriage and set to run on CNN, the Fox News Channel, and MSNBC in the coming days. In the ad, actors make disproven claims about marriage for lesbian and gay couples.

Yes, folks that's right. It is a fake, and all the people are actors.. but not one place in that ad does it put a disclaimer nor does it state that. It never gives the impression nor does it ever even hint they are. It states they are real people.

Here are the out takes and show the actors practicing for their roles. Pretty funny if you ask me.



That's Part 1 and like I said just actors rehearsing for their roles. Here is Part 2.



I have stated before and I state again. How can 2 people who are happy and content, no matter if they are Bob and Sam, Jennifer and Sally, or Bob and Sally or Jennifer and Sam, be harmful to anyone else, my children, your children or anyone else's children?

The real danger to marriage is the ready availability of divorce or dissolution of marriage as they call it now. They have No Fault divorce kits available everywhere. You can buy them over the internets... Just use "Teh Google". $199 for a do it yourself fill it out, send it in and git 'er done dee-vorce.

UPDATE MEET SOME OF THE ACTORS IN THE FAKE AD.. GO TO THIS WEB SITE.. Thanks to Kyle at Bob Cesca's awesome blog for pointing this out to me and others... this is where they found some of these people to make this ad. Just to show they really are reaching...

I hope others will pick this up and post on this matter. We have to make sure people know these are lies and will call them what they are. LIARS!!!!
