Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Massachusetts Legislature Denies Gay Marriage Vote

ANGER IN VICTORY

MA Anti-Democracy Forces Perpetually Miserable







Even after their resounding victory against democracy, Hugo Chavez-esque Massachusetts gay marriage activists can't seem to let go of their anger long enough to enjoy the moment.

Case in point: an emotion- filled rant published in the Boston Phoenix more concerned with bashing Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly than making a sound case for taking away the rights of Bay State voters.

In fact, it's hard to see what Rush and Bill had to do at all with yesterday's sleazy legislative move to prevent a proposed initiative, already approved by 170,000 voters, from reaching the 2008 ballot. But here it is:

So when the right-wing nut jobs such as Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh resume raving about the Bay State’s essentially satanic lifestyle we can all safely blow them a raspberry secure in the knowledge that we’re only a little bit more broad-minded than Switzerland.

The fact of the matter is that the civilized world — defined as any place where O’Reilly and Limbaugh are recognized as loud-mouthed charlatans — appears to be slowly but surely turning what we today call marriage into something that in the future we will all recognize as civil unions.

The problem is that Rush and Bill can't be blamed for the fact that only Massachusetts allows gay marriage. Americans are overwhelmingly opposed to the idea and always have been.

What's even worse for pro- gay marriage thugs is that the initiative had a good chance of passing were it to reach the ballot, which is why the legislature pulled yesterday's anti- voter fast one.


Meanwhile, Boston talk host Howie Carr has weighed in with a great take on the behind- the- scenes hijinks that brought it about:

Solons’ decision was done deal

If there’s one thing Beacon Hill Democrats can’t stand, it’s democracy.

What happened to all their phony polls on the gay marriage question? I thought the gays were going to win, and that, as one story put it right, “political support in Massachusetts is swinging firmly behind gay marriage.”

So why did the homosexuals spend more than a million bucks making sure they wouldn’t have to win that fight at the ballot box in November 2008? A few years ago this same crowd was hissing that government had no right to say who could get hitched to whom. Now that they’re calling the shots, they love having the government push everybody else around.

So now 17,000 homosexuals won’t have their “marriages” invalidated - not that anyone was planning to do that anyway, but never mind the facts. But what about the 170,000 people who signed the petitions to give the people the right to make the decision to . . . change, shall we say, the traditional meaning of marriage?
I guess those 170,000 just aren’t Beautiful People.

What's hard for Bay State "progressives" to accept is that Massachusetts citizens are surprisingly traditional when it comes to social issues. That's why they must resort to legislative and judicial dirty tricks to get the job done.
