If you really look at it democrats are pathetic they have nothing to offer but trying to make folks hate each other.

Sadly, the Democratic party has gone from being the party of the blue collar worker to the party of abortion, gays, and freeloaders.

A tiny town where a mayor loses a ceremonial post because her backwards (clearly, based on the state of the town) compatriots and constituents can't manage to bring themselves into the 21st century. LOL @ the usual chorus of anti-gay social conservative knownothings applauding this non-story as some founthead of "backlash"! In your collective wet dreams, whiners!


It should be an HONOR to receive backlash from troglodytes. You know you're doing something right when the resident City-Data fossils condemn you!

This tired out argument, AGAIN?

But say, why don't you keep telling everyone how the "Bill of Rights" = All the rights we have in America!

ZZZZZ. There is no such thing as sin. There is no morality attached to consensual sex acts of any kind.

If you want to wallow your life in superstition and self-imposed behavioral modification, go for it. But the time is coming where people are going to give you less and less deference because you choose to belief in bronze age mythology.

That's life.

And what a town it is! Thriving! Vibrant! World class! Errr.....

It's actually a perfect example of what is happening and will continue to happen in this country every day: Aging, sad and confused conservatives being left behind in the dust, to stare at each other and wonder why the world is passing them by as they focus on their moralizing bulls***.

lol, because a small hick town doesn't like gay people? That's a revelation, alright. What's next, clearly educated people went to far when a hick school bans teaching evolution?

Its not a very good argument to make, telling the mayor that she is wrong by citing the bible. I suppose, if the town has a majority of conservative Christians they can vote her out of office.

Sadly this atrocity perpetrated by the homosexual militant bullies is already happening. Look what happened to the spaghetti company guy. He is being told by these darlings what he can and cannot say.

Nope, he can say whatever he wants. I can respond to what he says. That is freedom of speech.
