Today’s the day that the Vermont legislature has an historic opportunity to override Governor Jim Douglas’ veto of the gay marriage bill that passed overwhelmingly in both the house and the senate. Let’s hope they do the right thing.
My home state of Iowa already beat Vermont to the punch on this issue. After Iowa’s Supreme Court ruled that the state’s ban on gay marriage was unconstitutional (duh), members of the Iowa legislature are scrambling to trump the court by passing new legislation.
The video below is an elegant response from one Iowa legislator who is refusing to go along with the latest desperate attempt to curtail civil liberties to our citizens.
It’s a good day to say, “I’m from Iowa.”
In Vermont, the right-wing radio host Paul Beaudry has been doing his best to prove that the spokespeople for gay marriage opposition are hot-wired to Neanderthal Central. Let’s call a spade a spade here: Beaudry is nothing short of a hate-filled goon. Worse, his vile rants never cease to butcher the English language.
Take, for example, Beaudry’s repeated — and demented — calls yesterday for Rep. Bill Lippert to “recloose” himself from the veto override vote because of his “conflict of interest.” Um, I think he means “recuse.” But, hey, why let the English language get in the way of a stupid point.
And guess what Beaudry was using as his “evidence” for his charge of Lippert’s so-called conflict of interest: Lippert’s gay.
Oh boy, don’t you just love it when people hate in the name of Jesus?
Enough already.
Jesus, and for that fact all religion is the root of all evil. Really how many lives have been lost over what people beleive is there god. I really want to now if I would still be allowed to pass through the pearly gates if I put a car bomb in your drive way because I believed that horses are devil spawn and there for you are an agent of evil. Out of all the issues that this state, this country, this world have, people are really wasting there time trying to fight over whether or not gay people can marry. If all the people on both sides put the energy into something worth while we would all be in a better place. And by the way I am all for gay marriage and I think this should be such a non-issue. Just my two cents on an issue that makes me fucking pissed. My hard earned tax dollars going to waste!!!!
Good. Now I make more Gay Vermont jokes. ‘These two gay guys went to go skiing in Stowe and they met……….’
Leave it to Vermont and Iowa to be the most progressive states in the nation, shame on us here in California for passing Prop 9. Whether you call it Gay Marriage or Civil Union, the basic premise is that every person should have equal rights. It’s good to see that some states are progressing, I made a list on my site of the states I think will legalize Gay Marriage first: http://www.toptentopten.com/topten/first+states+that+will+legalize+gay+marriage

This is PeteySweety from that liberal-fuck blog Green Mountain Daily offering you some free consultation–People would like your blog more if you had a way to ‘rate’ your posts and if you had some polls like: “Who would lose in the 2010 election for Vt. Secretary of State…
Anthony Pollina?
Craig Hill?
Boots Wardinski?
Someone On Medication?
Someone Already Dead?
(Answer: Anthony Pollina) See, it’s easy. Also, I recommend strongly you follow the money trail of trust funders who actually run Vermont and have a secret club called the Vermont 25 Club (25 special people voluntarily rotated every 2 years at secret forums held in the Plainfield/Marshfield area who each, in turn , connect with 100 other ‘special’ people so that, you see, Mr. Colby, 2500 Special People run Vermont and get their friends elected to office to support all kinds of behavioral legislation to regulate and monitor political activism in Vermont so that it doesn’t alienate tourists who come to Stowe each Winter wanting to go on sleigh rides, which is the latest trendy thing for Special People. It’s sort of like the Masons–and they have agents everywhere, so I must go now in case the one called Joseph or the one called Renee is hacking into my mind right now. Anyway, I hope you will take my advice and also watch your fucking language when you post because these Special People are very sensitive and VERY POWERFUL. End of transmission………………………………
Congratulations for that winning shot!
I just want to thank you as a student and as a muslim. It is a useful website for both learner and
investors. I am sure it will help the investors to have more clear idea and also to rethink about
how this work. Nevertheless, world is changing, becoming more competitive than ever, and if we
dont do something about them, then issues like these will keep us behind.
Thanks again
