Proposition 8 looms over California, the "Protect Marriage" proposal created in the days following a Supreme Court ruling which allowed gays the right to marriage.  The measure did very poorly in early polling but appears to be gaining immense traction lately and looks as if it may pass by a large margin.  Perhaps my greatest point of frustration with this proposition is not so much its typical rhetoric indicative of what we've seen in other states, but the manner in which this whole thing played out.

Our Supreme Court made a clear ruling on this issue.  And ding-ding-ding, somebody ring the retard alarm because two states over, Mormons took the call to leave polygamy alley and go preach the gospel of true marriage in California.  Please Mormons, allow your stupid, dangerous and obtuse cult to educate us on how to run our affairs.  I know the vast beauty of dirt, rocks and great salt lakes was difficult to leave behind, but you are an elite whose obnoxious presumptuous nature never prevented you from knocking on my door at 8 in the morning on a Saturday to tell me just how awful my beliefs are.  I guess I was naive to believe you would stay in your cavernous hide-outs waiting for Joseph Smith to return on a sled made of naked child brides.

What impresses me is the blatant zeal with which these racketeers have conducted this raid, placing vast numbers of boots on the ground here, pouring in millions of dollars in ads, and then scheming with these evangelical shit-heels like villains sharing a Marvel Comics crossover.  The scare tactics, hate-mongering and total bigotry of their ads would be disgusting if not laughably underwritten by the fact that these pasty blue-eyed inbreds wear magic underwear and were the only religion in American history to have open war declared upon them for high treason.  In that regard I find it odd that they wouldn't at least muster up some of the humility of their great-grandparents, who were themselves outcast for following a crystal-gazing fraud who believed that blacks were devils from the Old Testament incarnate, and that revelations could be found by reading stones out of a hat.  You'd think that kind of humility would show a sense of open-mindedness toward creating legal mandates against other groups of people, but maybe those lessons were lost while cutting switch-back trails across the country while being chased by local militias.  These are the same people who openly-massacred travelling caravans and blamed it on the "red devils", so maybe not.

Conviction, it seems, only follows self-interest.  I can't imagine their having this kind of courage and self-sacrifice should the proposition reach the ballots forever banning any prospect of roping fifteen women like cattle and taking them in "celestial" marriage.  And I say "self-sacrifice" because I'm certain they already have those wedding dresses picked out and paid for.  I take solice in the fact that this is only California bearing the insufferable burden of bike-peddling armies dressed like Shaun of the Dead, and that this is only Mormon venting after their attempt to slither into the White House failed twice with Mitt Romney.  Why this deliberate tax-fraud is allowed exemption is incredible considering the very secretive, very deliberate and very political agenda this group operates within one large organizational structure.  We can always hope the angel "Moroni" appears once more and they're too busy sticking their faces in top hats for spiritual guidance to go out and influence the vote.
