I was alerted to this post by somebody whose stomach is stronger than
mine. I'm un-KFing you, Sanders, because Socky is making such a
spectacle of himself, and there's no such thing as too big a bonfire
when it's time to burn a witch.

Socky takes to outright lying.

Hatemongering is a well-known way to attract insults. You
shouldn't
throw up your hands in mock surprise at this response.

To you, any differnce of opinion with yours is
hate mongering.

That is false. Are you aware of the falseness of this claim, Arnii?

Anyone opposed to gya marraiges is
a hate monger.

That is true. If you still don't understand that, you must be an idiot
as well as a bigot.

More evidence that Sacky's claim to be a registered Democrat is a sham.
He
voted for Bush in 2000 and he'll vote for him again in 2004. He once
claimed to support a few "liberal" social issues, all of which are
vehemently opposed by his sworn master, Dubya.

To add to the morass of self-contradictory behavior by Sacky, he bashes
gays
and is opposed to gays having equal rights under the Equal Protection
Clause
of federal and state constitutions.

I personally suspect he's a closet gay who is ashamed of his "weakness",
or
"condition", like the character Joe Pesci played in the movie JFK, as he
must imagine it. Here's a guy in his early to mid fifties, who, when I
first met him, and inquired if he were married, replied "no", and when I
inquired if he'd ever been married, replied "I never make the same
mistake
once". Yet he's recently professed right here to know what the love
between
two straight married people is all about, merely as a lead-in to his
gay-bashing agenda. I suppose if you walked a mile in his shoes, you'd
really know what getting lost going around and around in circles really
means.


So he's never been married, and in fact he's afraid of being married,
but he claims to hold the institution sacrosanct in its consecrated
hetero form. Hallelujah.

I suspect your suspicion is likely to be true. Socky made a startling
admission in another post -- he said he empathizes with Gays who are
unhappy about being persecuted for being Gay. I have to admit I used
to have some sympathy for closet cases. That was a while ago, though,
before the '90s changed everything. Nowadays, even Falwell has allowed
that Gays should be allowed to live their lives in peace, making a
contribution alongside the majority. (That Rev. Jerry also espouses
the "right" to hate Gays is unfortunate, but progress is progress.)

Socky is a "confirmed bachelor": Never married, afraid of women, but
in awe of the unattainable institution of Holy Marriage. I don't
believe he's religious, so his slippery dodging on the subject of
tradition is probably not rooted in that sort of rigmarole. Most
telling is his forthright declaration of having empathy for Gays who
are not well adjusted to being Gay. I think this gives a whole new
coloration to his brainless "conservatism" -- he's trying to hide in
plain sight.

Come out of your closet, Art. The politics are fine.

In view of your insight about Sacky's "slippery dodging", and in view of his
evasions and obfuscations on this and numerous other issues, I should amend
my above statement as follows: "I suppose if you walked a mile in his shoes,
you'd know how tortuously long it takes to get thoroughly lost going around
and around in circles walking backwards, amidst seemingly endless
side-stepping."

I think what's happening in Massachusetts and San Francisco is fantastic,
and *about time*. It looks like what started as a protest is going to be
turning into a nationwide movement. And kudos to those Superior Court
judges in S.F. that just kicked those right-wing religious fanatics' arses
into late March.

And to think it all began when an obscure Governor of a small State took the
first brave step in pushing through a conservative legislature the country's
first "civil union" law. Remember, it was just a few decades ago that
statutes across this country prohibited inter-racial marriages. Isn't it
about time Americans woke up to the fact that the gay population has always
been here, is not going away, and as American citizens are entitled to *all*
of the rights the U.S. and State Constitutions guarantee to *all* American
citizens?

So what threat does Sacky really think that loving gay couple living down
the block personally poses to him, especially if they hold a marriage
license and perhaps an adopted child in their hands? Is he jealous?
