Angry with the system that puts food on their table, houses them, keeps them warm and on and on? They are angry because they want more?

Small governmetn does not define marriage, so I view the anti-gay marriage movement of the right to be a contradictory crusade based on either religious propaganda or disagreement for the sake of disagreement. But yeah, we're all the same. Just like all black people are thugs and all white people are racist.
I could care less what people do in the bedroom as long as it doesn't hurt others and as long as it doesn't cost me. Everything you liberals do cost working Americans more and more. Every time the government gets involved in so called "helping the poor" it hurts other Americans. Do people really think it's governments money or do they realize that the government is confiscating money from other people to give to them.

As for religious propaganda, if it prevents people from attacking others, tells them to "respect elders" keeps them from stealing and gets them to work to pay their own way, then I'm all for it.

Yea you got that, this is what we are told, either your a thug or a racist. Don't you love being told what you believe? I've learned more about what I supposedly believe by Democrats telling me. Go figure

Like I said, I'm not justifying anything and I'd appreciate it if you would recognize that. I think the MLK approach would be a more productive way of changing or challenging the system, but that's just me.

What does gay marriage cost people? And by the way, large military (conservative) costs everyone is taxation. Government's cost money. It has nothing to do with liberal or conservative. One side may want to spend more at a certain time, but if either side does anything, it's costing someone because that's how government works.

You don't need religion to have people be treated well.

I didn't tell you what you believed. You told me what I believe, then got mad at me for it. I have no idea why you're being so hostile, but it's hilarious. You're accusing me of doing exactly what you're doing.
