They will have a large agenda but implement it one small piece at a time, desensitizing the public at large incrementally. And it is working well for them. Instead of insisting on major social change they do it with "baby steps" and will gain a few inches here and a few inches there, but before long they have covered the entire distance. This change in California is huge. And is laying the groundwork for their ultimate goal of having heterosexual and homosexual unions viewed as having no difference between them. Sadly, it has been quite effective amongst the children of the current generation. We are encouraging tolerance to the point of becoming our own undoing.Kathleen Hodgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102565543549142384.post-67240778517433523472011-11-08T17:23:13.422-05:002011-11-08T17:23:13.422-05:00This story makes it crystal clear that California&...This story makes it crystal clear that California's left-leaning elected representatives will stop at nothing (not even an outright rejection by their own constituents) in continuing to force radical changes to the traditional family structure on the people of California. <br /><br />The statement in this article about the Proposition 8 case pending in the state court system is a telling detail. Prop 8 was passed as a statewide referendum by a clear majority of the people in the same election that was responsible for delivering California's 55 electoral votes to Democratic President Barack Obama, helping to secure his victory. The demographic breakdown of voters published after the election revealed embarrassing statistics for opponents of prop 8. Experts determined that the high turnout of minority voters at the polls voting as a direct result of Obama's popularity as a candidate led to the bill’s passing. The Hispanic and African American voters tended to vote in accordance with their Christian beliefs which would not permit them to recognize a system seeking to include couples engaging in homosexual sodomy within its definition of marriage. The amazing irony was that these very voters who were responsible for helping to elect various state and local officials who vehemently objected to Prop 8 and participated in demonstrations against it were instrumental in getting it passed. <br /><br />The unfortunate fact of the matter, however, for the majority of Californians, is that their many fiercely liberal "representatives" are also very bright legal minds, and they will continue to work tirelessly in Sacramento to discover new outlets by which to change the law such that the practical results of the Prop 8 decision are rendered useless. SB 651 is a perfect illustration of this subversion of voters beliefs that has become so typical of the 9th circuit and frequently leads to a great exodus of disgruntled citizens to places outside state linesJonathan Whitenoreply@blogger.com
