Why Obama will win in 2012 and Democrats will take back Congress
Here’s why in three words: bait and switch. Get elected as fiscal conservatives, then the instant you’re sworn in, rip off that liberty-lovin’, budget balancin’ mask to reveal the only agenda you really care about: using the coercive powers of government to impose your religion on everyone else in joyful anticipation of that blessed day when …

Althouse’s bravura critique of Obama’s duplicity to gays at his meeting this week with progressive bloggers
Frankly, I was browsing my newsfeed for something easy and funny to post when I came across Instapundit’s post on Obama’s Oct. 27 meeting in the White House with five progressive bloggers in which he links Ann Althouse and JustOneMinute. The five progressive bloggers were Joe Sudbay of Americablog (this post includes a transcript of …
Countering NOM’s lies about the decision overturning Prop 8
The Mormon Church is the primary source of funds for the National Organization for Marriage, which opposes same-sex marriage equality and frames the issues surrounding according to the doctrines of the Mormon Church. Remember that the Mormon Church defines what YOU probably think of as “traditional marriage” as spiritually dead and inferior to the Mormon …

I was just browsing Cracked.com for a story on a post I’m planning when I came across one that may help my dear gentle readers understand why being denied marriage equality is deadly for lesbians and gays and goes a long way toward creating the social instability for which our communities are attacked.

Glenn Beck is OK with same-sex marriage? Who’s next? Ann Coulter?
OK, so I was browsing at Little Miss Attila, who linked Instapundit, who linked Doug Mataconis at Outside the Beltway, who reports Glenn Beck is OK with same-sex marriage. I did NOT see that one coming. Doug has the video clip — Beck was talking with Bill O’Reilly — and convenient transcription. He also notes: …

Prop 8 majority rule? No, ‘We do NOT put the Bill of Rights to a vote?’
By arguing that the majority vote in favor of Prop 8 in California should stand despite the decision that it is unconstitutional, Maggie Gallagher and the National Organization for Marriage have managed to make a large number of social conservatives forget their love of the Constitution — or inadvertently, they have exposed that social conservatives …

Prop 8 overturned, Earth still spins on axis
Prop 8 Trial Decision_8_4_10 I’ve been trying to make sense of the outrage on the Right over the decision in federal court by Judge Vaughn Walker announced yesterday overturning California’s Prop 8, which outlawed same-sex marriage. Social conservatives seem to be asserting three non-existent rights that permit them to deny equality to lesbians and gays: …

Fabulous! An overview of the same-sex marriage debate
Thanks to a tweet I can’t find now, I came across a graphic, “Overview of the Same-Sex Marriage Debate,” which I gather was created by Patrick Farley of Electric Sheep. It strikes me as a perfect summary of the debate over equality for lesbians and gays. Check the larger, legible versions at Electric Sheep or …

Judge rules Prop 8 unconstitutional
Glory hallelujah! Please go read Gabriel Malor — who is gay — at Ace of Spades HQ for the first take on the ruling in Perry v. Schwarzenegger regarding California’s Prop 8, which defined marriage as only being legal between a man and a woman. Gabriel’s summary of the verdict is as follows: “… there …
