Maybe that finally sends the message that no you cannot discriminate against same sex marriage or those who are LBQT.

Of course we can expect outrage by some of the religious fundamentalist around the country. Get into the 21st century, because the rest the world really doesn't care.
stupid fine. by stupid overblown blowtards. But hey, cops are the bad guys, children and girls are unsafe, and secondary education is a joke so now insanity is the norm. good show everybody.

Because you say so?

You don't get to create moral constructs the rest of us have to abide by, neither does your mythical, vindictive god or the fairy tale book you all live by

Nope. He's been consistent in his wrongness and prejudice.

For the same reason that it's so hard to parody religious nutjobs (because part of satire is the over-the-top element, at there is no 'top' to the fundamentalist level of nutjobbery), it's also hard to tell if they're trolling because logic and data have the same non-effect on fundies as they do on trolls.

For what it's worth, I don't think Jeff's impressive obtuseness is feigned. And that's not exactly a compliment.

And the search continues for just one person on the opposition side who doesn't come off extremely arrogant and condescending.

You can be arrogant and condescending when you are on the right side of an argument...

Let me fix this for you...
