California Changes Its Ways Once Again


The laws in California change like a driver on a high speed chase changes lanes while alluding police. As of this writing, gay marriage is illegal in the Golden State. Tomorrow it may be legal again. The gays that married between the time of the court ruling legalizing it and the people voting against its legalization will still be recognized as married. Got that so far?
Drew Barrymore and other protesters claim that anyone "in love" should have the right to marry. That is blatantly false. Marriage is limited and presided over by each state with different laws governing its validity. First cousins don't have the right to marry in every state. Why not? If homosexuality was normal and natural, wouldn't it have gone extinct over time, as opposed to increasing at amazing rates? Please don't make the case that more are coming out of the closet and its getting more press. It certainly is, but more teens are subjected to the concept in their sexual forming years and experimentation makes it available, not natural.
Marriage has been an institution to keep structure for children and American values has traditionally valued the family unit. That value has deteriorated over time, but if homosexual marriage is allowed as "normal", then adult men should be able to marry their mothers and fathers their adult daughters and what could be more normal, natural and loving than that?

Sean Penn Adds Little To Academy Awards


Sean Penn was great at "Jeff Spiccoli" in Fast Times at Ridgemont High in the 80's. Back then he was easy to like because we didn't know anything about him.
In the 21st century he is self-admittedly easy to not like because of his anti-American alliances with foreign leaders, his spousal abuse allegations and other rants against God-fearing Americans.
Last night's star-studded Academy Awards didn't seem to reflect the struggling economy or concern for global warming, but before it was all over, Penn made his "Best Actor in a Leading Role" Oscar speech political. Not that the award itself wasn't a political statement by The Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences against Mickey Rourke's recent and decent comments about President Bush or Sean Penn's portrayal of a gay character. Funny how the best movies (Brokeback Mountain), directors and characters are about homosexuals. No, no agenda there.
Glad Sean Penn remembered Mickey and is his brother, but gave no mention of his wife in his speech that spoke of the shame that proponents of California's gay-marriage ban should have. He was speaking to the majority of Californians and Americans that think differently than he does.
He is also glad that this country elected an "elegant" man. Has America never had an elegant man as president before?
