Mr. Spector, in Massachusetts they have spoken. Not in Rhode Island. Or, more specifically, they have spoken and currently don’t want it. This is a case of one party (Democrats) trying to force an issue solely because of what a nearby state is doing, by whatever back-door means necessary.

As much as Christians and conservatives get accused of this by the left, one would hope the left would notice it when they’re doing it. One would be wrong.

Good afternoon! Thanks for bringing another great conservative perspective to the web. I am trying to get a conservative digg alternative going called GOP Hub (gophub.com) and thought you might be interested. Anything you can do to help get the word out would be awesome, plus you can post any articles you write on your blog on it, and help get a few extra visitors here on your blog. Take care and have a great weekend!

I find it interesting that Mr. Payton insists on putting marriage and married in quotes. According to MA law this couple is married, not “married.” This continued use of quotes, especially, in the case of same-sex couples that are legally married, is just plain silly. There are more mature ways to express disagreement and use of
quotes don’t make these marriages any less legal or valid.

And speaking of the people and their constitutions, since the original 2003 Supreme Judicial Court ruling in Massachusetts, there have been two elections (2004 and 2006) where the people of Massachusetts had the opportunity to express their opinions through their vote. Results: all of the incumbents who support same-sex marriage were re-elected and numerous incumbents who are against same-sex marriage were defeated by pro-same-sex marriage challengers. There have also been numerous failed attempts to amend the MA Constitution, but these attempts have failed. In June 2007 the MA Legislature voted 151-45 against the proposed amendment.

Looks like the Court, the Legislature, and the people have spoken.
