Yet again gay marriage rears it ugly head in Maine.  This has been voted down by the voters already.  Then side stepped through the legislature almost as bad as the judicial ruling in California, I suspect that will be next if they ultimately loose this one.  As I have stated before I stand to loose my conservative merit badge because I don’t really care one way or the other who marries who.  But what I do care about is the legislature going against the will of the people.  Seems like they have all committed political suicide but the Govenor who it term limited.  A side note, if this was a national issue I would be dead against it, where it is being decided is where it belongs.

Now it is likely to go before the people yet again for a peoples veto, which I assume will take a larger vote than the original one, but there is a dynamic that the bill has working against it, people don’t like to have things jammed down their throat, which is why I think we will prevail starting in 2010.  55,087 signatures are needed to get it on the ballad by September, doesn’t seem like any hill for a climber.  I will be signing the petition and voting not only against this but against any state representative that voted for it.

A while back, I think late 60’s or early 70’s, gay pride was a big thing.  I think gay pride took a giant step backwards.  Mobility has always been the great equalizer in our society, there are states that have legally approved gay marriage such as Massachusettees  a short way down the interstate if some one wants to take advantage of their laws that were legally enacted not like California and maybe Maine(al though ours might be legal it sure is pretty low on the ethical ladder).  All of these things are reversible, not that they usually are, but nationally I think it has to be rolled back, there is no way it is sustainable.

Here is another scratch your head.  Pelosi has been caught in an out and out lie, she was briefed as she should have been on interrogation techniques even though she swears she wasn’t, they have her dead to rights.  She can still spin it to her believers I guess.  Here is where I get confused.  If I get called before congress to testify and I lie it is called perjury and punishable by law.  But anyone one in the Government from the most junior congressman to the President can lie all day long and they do and it is just business as usual.  A citizens initiative to require our representatives to tell the truth under penalty of perjury would be a helpful tool.  Now if it involved national security or other privacy issues, they can state, I can’t talk about the and then they haven’t lied, or they could take the fifth.  Just a thought, one that won’t go anywhere, but frankly I am getting so sick of all this deceit.  So far, I don’t think I can point to one thing Obama has said either before or after his election and taking office that has been true, lie after lie after lie.  The latest one is the $17 billion budget trimming, sure he is cutting military spending and a couple of other things, but it won’t come out of the budget it will be just reallocated to another area, you know one of those slush funds. What a political hack he is.   If you add the deficit from the 2010 budget, the Porkulus, Underthebus and the $7 trillion that the fed magically made appear to further bail out friends of the administration, we have added $10 trillion to the debt in less than 4 months, good job you jerks.  The one area I was willing to give him a little credit was Afghanistan and as it turns out that was another lie, so far only 4,000 not combat troops have been sent and in the mean time the Taliban is about 60 miles from taking control of Nuclear Pakistan and our President want to chat, maybe they can do face book.  If 4 months is any indication, this president could be worse than both Carter and Roosevelt, boy that is going some, but he is making both of them look like lily white conservatives.

I am getting a little carried away today, it has been a while since I last posted.  What an outrage the Chrysler bankruptcy is, have you ever heard of the government getting involved in a bankruptcy in such a way that they rearrange unsecured debt above secured debt?  There are so many things wrong with this picture.  Then when the legal bond holders that should get paid first try to get what is legally theirs, they are called greedy and leaned on by the white house like the mob.  They some how they pressured the bankruptcy judge to approve it, when it clearly goes against all business practice and is likely to just about kill companies looking for bond holders to advance their company.  Who is going to put their money in when the government will make them take $.29 on the dollar and give 55% of the company to the Union.  BTW, the UAW gave 99% of its political contributions to democrats except for one, Arlen Specter, this is a big surprise isn’t it.

I hope that most of this isn’t old news that your tired of hearing about, but I have been a little busy with somewhat important things.
