COURAGE….Found in Missouri

Say what you want about Missouri but its citizenry just climbed a notch in my estimation.

Last night they OVERWHELMINGLY passed an amendment to their constitution banning homosexual marriage.

Now let's see where states like Louisiana, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, Oklahoma, Oregon and Utah stand. Their vote is later this year. In the states of Michigan, North Dakota and Ohio the initiatives are pending.

Only In America

I was intending to rest today and post lightly. I have several bottles of ice-cold Corona (fine Mexican beer) in the fridge with some lemon slices ready to go, a 14 oz. T-Bone steak all ready for the grill .... and then I made the mistake of opening up this morning's Washington Post (I subscribe to the online versions of that rag as well as the L.A. Times, The Chicago Tribune and the New York Times - it's painful work every morning reading those leftist rags but someone's got to do it).

Nothing really exciting on the front page but when I got to page 2 a headline caught my eye and by the time I had read the first two lines of the story, my mind had entirely slipped a gear. The words "Kentucky", "Sex-Change", and "Same-Sex Marriage" twisted through my eyeball, navigated to the center of my brain and wreaked terrible damage before my eyelids slammed shut and the cerebral cortex shut down for emergency maintenance. My brain will be off-line for the rest of the day. Enjoy the Fourth .... and remember that only in America can a story happen like this one below. Unfortunately.

Sex-Change Operation Tests Marriage Law
- Manuel Roig-Franzia

Here’s a legal riddle: Can a man marry a woman, but still violate a ban on same-sex marriages? It will be up to some of the great minds of Kentucky law to find an answer. The courtroom brainteaser comes courtesy of a Louisville marital dispute or, better yet, the case of the Paul who became a Paula.

The Paul in this scenario is Paul Spina. About 22 years ago, Spina married Sharon Hays, whose family owns a big Ford dealership in Louisville. Spina went to work for the in-laws, serving as general counsel to the company’s network of car dealerships. Spina says he and his wife accumulated company stock worth millions of dollars.

Last year, Spina went to Thailand and underwent a sex-change operation. He returned with a new name: Paula Spina.

Spina’s wife reacted by trying to get their marriage annulled. Among her legal arguments is the claim that Paul Spina was always psychologically a woman and, therefore, violated Kentucky’s law prohibiting same-sex marriages when they said their “I do’s.”

Spina’s attorneys have argued that their client was obviously a man when the couple wed. After all, he fathered two children. Sharon Spina’s attorneys did not return calls.

The annulment request, which was dismissed this spring by a county judge, is on its way to the Kentucky Court of Appeals.

Paula “is being mistreated,” said Shannon Minter, legal director for the National Center for Lesbian Rights and a board member of the Transgender Law and Policy Institute. “This is really a despicable legal tactic.”

Paula Spina (pictured here) says stock accumulated during marriage to Sharon Hays is worth millions.
Hays’s request for an annulment was denied in the spring and is headed for appeals court.

You gotta wonder!

Years ago when AIDS/HIV was finally recognized as a great peril to man with virtually no cure in sight, the medical community together with the Surgeon General put the public on alert.

Warnings were issued far and wide about how easy it was to transmit this disease; for people to be careful, to avoid casual sex, to use new needles when doing drugs, to stop risky behavior. Heterosexuals were warned that they were just as much, if not more, at risk. Fear was instilled in men and women everywhere.

Jump forward 20 years and we find that although most of the emphasis has been on heterosexuals and transmission of the disease, studies are out proving that transmission of AIDS is concentrated in the homosexual and drug using community. Risk to heterosexuals, although present, is nowhere near the levels promulgated by the politically correct crowd.

So you have to wonder why this myth continues to be fed to us when we have instances like this occurring within the homosexual community.

Read it here.

Oregon County Bans All Marriages

Finally, a solution to the so-called "gay-marriage dilemna" that we can live with.

Benton County in Oregon has banned all marriages, homosexual and heterosexual ....until the state decides who can and who cannot wed.

Now, no one is breaking the law and it's time for the legislators and voters to clarify the issue. As it should be.

A humorous view of the “Slippery Slope”

I am against homosexual marriage. I explained why in a post called, "The Slippery Slope Defined"

Well, here's a humorous view of it. Thanks to several friends who sent me this.

The Slippery Slope Defined

Under normal circumstances I would have just posted a reply but since I am one of the writers of this site I will make this a full fledged rant, instead. No hiding behind the obscurity of a comment for me. No sirrreee.

When it comes to homosexual marriage I have to draw a line.

We got a comment to the effect that the person could not see the slippery slope we were on so allow me an attempt to open the eyes of everyone who does not get it. Frankly I find it amazing how so many people do not get it. But that's another story. (Korgmeister, thanks for providing me the impetus to launch this tirade. I appreciate your feedback!)

Slippery Slope: the theory that once you start to decline, you gradually continue to decline and accelerate as you descend.

Here is one simple example: early 20th century, most people showing up at beaches wore full body clothing. By the fifties it was two piece. By the 60s women were miltantly going topless. The 90s brought us "g'strings", "butt floss" "t-backs" and so on. NOW? There are more tits and ass at our beaches (and PARKS!!!) than many "dirty" magazines of the 60s!

Here is another: 1930s and Gone with the Wind. What's-his-face says, "DAMN!" and America goes into a tizzy fit decrying the abomination and foretelling of a slippery slope.

In the 60s we hear about the 7 words we can not utter on TV.

By the 80s with the exception of two, they are all being uttered REGULARLY!

21st Century: Need I say more than: John "FUCKING" Kerry?

The third deals with sexuality.

Early last century it was an abomination to have a child out of wedlock as "nice women" didn't have sex before marriage.

Now, they not only do but many times you can get it on the first or second date. Which makes you wonder why guys aren't crazy about marrying because after all, why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?

The 60s come around with all its professed promiscuity: free sex, make love not war, drugs, blah blah blah

The 80s arrive and we have groups like NAMBLA getting front page news with some stories even giving them credibility!

Homosexuals become militant and start a two decades campaign for "equal rights."

In the late 80s movies are made with women kissing women.

The 90s heralds TV shows with men kissing men and short of showing it "en flagrante", even having sex.

The 21st century: Live TV shows with women kissing women; men grabbing women's tits and knockin' 'em free then groping them. Judges in Taxachusetts and San Francisco militantly "MAKING" laws for homosexual marriage.

So really, now. How long do you figure before men will be demanding the right to marry young boys? How long before women will want to elope with their Great Danes? How long before a transsexual, a homosexual, one hetero male, 2 hetero women and one hermaphrodite all declare their love for one another and demand the right to be married?

Put all three of these examples and you have, what appears on the surface to be three little slopes, one big-ass slippery slope because each complements the others and feeds the acceleration

If you can not see the slippery slope by now you are hopeless fettered and blinded by your own closed-mindedness.

And The Beat Goes On

The gay weddings in San Francisco continue. These people are breaking the law. The mayor not only condones it but encourages it. The courts are delaying a hearing on the illegality of this issue.

Why does AP call it "an act of civil disobedience" instead of calling it what it is - breaking the law?

Ask youself this, America - if the mayor of your town declared murder legal, encouraged people to go out and kill other people and the court delayed doing anything about it what would you do? Would you just sit there and wait to see what happens like you're doing now or would you do something?

What's the difference, you ask? None. Breaking the law is breaking the law no matter how you look at it.

If you don't like the law you vote to change it. You don't just go break the law in order to change it. Down that road lies madness, the breakdown of civilization and before you know it, the revolution. Speaking of which, maybe it's time ....

Update: Governor Schwarzenegger says "please stop". Is The Terminator wimping out? They're breaking the law, Governor. The law you swore to uphold and defend.

Massachusetts’ homosexual marriage act

Given that residents of Tax-achusetts will now be allowed to marry if they are homosexual, one can only wonder at what point all this nonsense will end.

Lowell Ponte takes a tongue in cheek (hmmm, pun intended or not?) approach in this article. Anyway, I gotta go. This squirrel is outside my window giving me the eye. I think it's love.

But before I do, and on a serious note< has anyone ever given thought to the fact that whenever liberals try to foist their immorality on us it is "constitutionally protected" but when we try to foist our morality on them, we are bigots, homophobic, mean-spirited wing-wing Conservative Christian zealots?

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
