Proposition 8 and Proposition 22: A tale of two votes - latimes.com
one was a constitutional amendment the other just a ban.
one was in a presidential election where the democrat won BIG
the other in a primary

I have a feeling you would rather live under the Muslim Brotherhood than under a liberal, secular, gay-friendly constitutional democratic republic.

The noted hatemongering terrorist rabbi Meir Kahane said that real Judaism is closer to the Ayatollah Khomeini than it is to Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Thomas Jefferson, or Adam Smith.

And all I see is a purple bubble of freedom from religious nutjobs... funny how one's perspective can differ from another, huh?

Central Valley down is still not being turned to the dark side.
Speaking of a cancer, the Central Valley is mostly an armpit - and I lived there for quite a while, so I know this from firsthand experience.

I wonder how many more vote stuffers can migrate into the Bay area.
Hopefully a lot more... and while we're at it, would the whiners (like a certain anti-gay Californian on this thread) just move to TX or AZ already??? S--- or get off the pot, as the old saying goes!

"We're really not the "wackos" some of you think, though"

C'mon now, you guys are wacko magnets by virtue of uber-liberalism.

I do respect your views though.
We are liberal, and I would never argue that. But liberal and "whack-jobs" are two different things, and most of us are only politically liberal... we still put our pants on one leg at a time, work hard at normal-type jobs, pay our bills and taxes, raise families, even attend church or synagogue/temple in many cases. The way some people describe us, you'd think the entire Bay Area looked like this 24/7: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__MR1JLtPau...ade-053009.jpg

That would be fun, I admit, but sadly it's not the reality on a daily basis.

Make that Orthodox Judaism, and you're not too far from the truth.

MUCH and MOST are two different words... you also cut off the first part of my sentence, which kinda changes its whole meaning.

I guess you didn't mean intelligence here.
Nope, I didn't - as idiots can be intelligent too, they just lose all common sense when it comes to certain issues. Some of the biggest idiots I've met have also been the smartest, and they're usually scarier than any dumb idiot.

no I knew that by heart which is why just went to the LA board of elections web site.
And I knew the (approx) numbers from San Francisco by heart, which is why it's the only one I quoted specifically... I don't really pay attention to LA, since it's 5 hours away and not my favorite place. Case in point, how can a region which includes West Hollywood (gay haven #2) vote for a ban of same-sex marriage? That county is all kinds of mixed up, LOL.

Doesn't change the fact that support is growing, as every recent poll I've read has shown... can you deny that?

Indeed, Orthodox Judaism is similar to militant Islam, at least the more virulent varieties of it.

My Jewish friends and neighbors were and are generally very intelligent, open minded and tolerant people. Even the Orthodox Jews and Hasidim I used to live near were pretty much "live and let live" and unconcerned with what people outside their faith did. Sounds like I was lucky not to run into the militant Orthodox Jews.

Do I need to post MORE links, or did you just not bother to check the ones I already have posted? I can find many more, if you so desire... but it won't matter, because you can't see the numbers through your thick blinders.

A public school teacher would be fired if he/she taught this truth here in Cali. Good post
Yeah your right no doubt about that. I shoud have said.. We used to be able to teach.. .. history.

Now they are forced to teach elementary school children about the joys of homosexual activities.

America is about to be judged very harshly!!

interestingly in the area of Beverly Hills that has the most Jews who escaped from Khomeini it becomes clear that they voted for McCain and prop 8.

I wonder what that means?
