It's amazing how enraged Cicero gets at one little question... It's not the answer to the question, it's just the question that has his undies in a knot...
~ "Would you support or oppose a law that would allow same-sex couples to get married?" ~  

It appears that Cicero is the kind of guy who gets upset easily...
Excuse me Mr Cicero, do you want paper or plastic?
~ "WHAT KIND OF A DUMB A$$ QUESTION IS THAT?  OF COURSE I WANT F'N PLASTIC" ~

Um... do you want fries with that Mr Cicero?
~ "Fries??? FRIES???  NO I DON'T WANT ANY F'N FRIES"

Even the Wallmart greeter runs and hides ever since the day  Cicero let him have it for saying "Good Morning"... and that wasn't even a question.

Perhaps a few Valium to start your day???

Hmm... That was odd.  I must have overestimated your reading comprehension.  How do you interpret "enraged" from a post?  It must be your inner dialog when reading my posts that makes my posts sound "enraged". Believe me, not one bit of rage.  I feel more compassion and sorrow for the ignorant.

And there goes box again, writing something out of thin air and claiming those would be my wolds.  Box, my words are written plain as day.  What's with all the hypothetical daily Cicero interactions.  

When the psychedelic delusions wear off, feel free to rejoin us back in reality.

McDonald should pay for gay marriage vote

Re June 28 article, “Most area legislators opposed gay wed bill” and Sen. Roy McDonald’s about-face on the same-sex marriage vote.
I don’t know what Gov. Andrew Cuomo promised McDonald during their closeddoor meetings prior to the vote. However, I can promise him this: He has lost my vote, my wife’s vote, my family’s votes, and that of anyone else I can persuade to vote against him in the next election.
Marriage is between a man and a woman, period!

Sen Roy McDonald on his gay marriage vote:

"You get to the point in your life where everything isn’t black and white and good and bad, and you try to do the right thing.  Now, you might not like that. You might think me very cynical about that. Well f--- it; I don’t care what you think."
"I’m tired of Republican-Democrat politics. I’m tired of blowhard radio people, blowhard television people, blowhard newspapers. They can take the job and shove it.   I come from a blue collar background, and I am trying to do the right thing. And that’s where I’m going with this."
(The Saratogian)

U.S. Drops Deportation Proceedings Against Immigrant in Same-Sex Marriage
By KIRK SEMPLE
Published: June 29, 2011

In a decision that could have far-reaching effects on immigration cases involving same-sex couples, federal officials have canceled the deportation of a Venezuelan man in New Jersey who is married to an American man, the couple’s lawyer said Wednesday.

The announcement comes as immigration officials put into effect new, more flexible guidelines governing the deferral and cancellation of deportations, particularly for immigrants with no serious criminal records.

Immigration lawyers and gay rights advocates said the decision represented a significant shift in policy and could open the door to the cancellation of deportations for other immigrants in same-sex marriages.

“This action shows that the government has not only the power but the inclination to do the right thing when it comes to protecting certain vulnerable populations from deportation,” said the couple’s lawyer, Lavi Soloway.

The case has been closely watched across the country by lawyers and advocates who viewed it as a test of the federal government’s position on the Defense of Marriage Act, a federal law that bars the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages.

In February, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. announced that the administration viewed the act as unconstitutional and would not defend it in the courts. Gay rights advocates asked the administration to postpone all deportations for same-sex married couples until the courts decided whether the marriage act was constitutional, but the administration said it would continue to enforce the law.

The Venezuelan man, Henry Velandia, 27, is a salsa dancer who immigrated in 2002 and was legally married last year in Connecticut to Josh Vandiver, 30, a graduate student at Princeton University. But Mr. Velandia was denied legal residency as Mr. Vandiver’s spouse because of the Defense of Marriage Act. Under immigration law, an American citizen can petition for legal residency for a spouse, as long as the spouse is not the same sex...................>>>>................>>>>.............................http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/30/us/30immig.html?_r=3

Call it something, but not ‘marriage’

Re June 25 AP article, “Legislature OKs gay marriage”: If two people can’t help the way they are — “same-sex partners” — that’s the way it is, so be it. But please don’t call getting together “marriage”; call it “bonding” or “life partners” or some nice name other than marriage. I think the use of the word marriage” should be left between men and women.
The main thing is to live a good life and let others do the same — that’s the way it should be.

Box, it is more that apparent you have been educated by political satirists, with you ongoing confusion between clever sophomoric humor and intellectual debate.  I will bet that all box’s books are filled with bar graphs and cartoons.

So much for being a 'devout catholic'.

The state legislature's redefining marriage makes about as much sense as Congresses redefining tomatoes from being a fruit  (which they are botanically) to a vegetable (which they did several decades ago after being paid off by the tomato growers) or the courts defining abortion as a women's personal right.    The fact remains the tomato is still a fruit,  abortion is still killing a human life and a real marriage can only take place between a man and a woman.

Then why were you for Savage even after she held a fundraiser at the gay nightclub Rocks in Albany last fall, promising to vote for gay marriage? Senator Breslin got picked up for DWI that night on the way home as was reported by the media!


Waiting for the "yawn"


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
