[Hoot Gibson]

The ballot box does not determine the meaning of the 14th Amendment, as a simple show of hands in Mississippi might still hold segregation the law of the state. My personal convictions and beliefs are not the test of Constitutional liberty, nor are yours, or Puritans or Christians or Jews or Moslems. And this is to the credit and wisdom of the Framers. If you fail of this basic understanding, America has more to fear from you and your ilk than ten Osam bin Laden's...and that is disappointing.

Until you begin posting something of substance, I am finished responding to your insulting, irrelevant, and rambling posts of misinformation.

Less than two years into Obama's single four-year term, Republicans (especially conservative ones) are poised to claim historic gains in the House, Senate, state legislatures, and gubernatorial races from sea to shining sea.

Your attempts to portray those who disagree with you as dangerous nutjobs are a waste of your time and mine. This nation is a representative republic, whether you and your totalitarian wannabe pals on the left like it or not. Voters have rejected gay marriage with every single opportunity that they have been given.

Enough Americans forgot (or were not yet born) the damage that Jimmy Carter inflicted on our institutions to allow Obama to take office. Hopefully, it will be at least another 30 years before Americans elect their next socialist president.

Finally, having lived within the city limits of Jackson, Mississippi for a full year, your lame attempts to portray the good people of Mississippi as segregationists is both mean spirited and factually wrong.

Mississippians are the most mannerly and hospitable people that I have met anywhere. So stop taking cheap shots at the people of Mississippi. Better yet, plan a long vacation to Mississippi and rid yourself of those recycled stereotypes from the 1950s.
