chetgay By now many of you have probably seen the One Iowa ad that is playing across the state. I see the other people on this site are writing about it today as well, so forgive me if I don’t link or embed their ad.

Anyway, I’m going to stick to doing what I do best, take things to an extreme in hopes that you get the point. You know how it works folks. Bill Krause, the owner of Kum and Go wants to transform every convenience store in Iowa into a liquor store. I write a little post saying that this dude just wants to profit on peoples addictions. Then boom! The bill blows up. Yes, it’s just that easy.

Now I know that I don’t deserve any credit, but it sure is a lot of fun.

Anyway, while the One Iowa folks try to convince Iowans that gay activist are just like them. I thought maybe I’d produce a little commercial of my own.

It is going to be difficult watching the One Iowa group unveil their campaign of lies. In their first ad, One Iowa tells Iowans that they are just like them. They are not. If you need proof, just look at Perez Hilton. I doubt I’ll ever see an Iowa farmer wearing a Hello Kitty shower cap. I mean K’mon. Secondly, they tell us this will not affect our churches. Hogwash, we know better. Heck, their next ad will probably tell us how they don’t want to teach GLBT lifestyles to our children in school. Yeah right.

I don’t know about you, but I can already see the Iowa landscape changing. I mean I never thought I would see a TV station go to some crappy ass backyard and do a story about some flaming gay guy planting some plastic flowers to get ready for all the gay marriages that he’s going to have take place there.

Anyway, here is the video. I have to admit that I tamed this down a bit. I didn’t think the owner of this site could stomach a video with nudity, and the last thing I need is someone yelling at me on a Friday.

So here is what I came up with.

So as hundreds of homosexuals flock to Iowa next week to get married, I think it is appropriate to that the people who made this possible. The Iowa Supreme Court, Governor Culver, Pat Murphy, and Mike Gronstal.

Gay marriage starts in Iowa on Monday. We need to thank those who made this all possible. Mike Gronstal, Governor Chet Culver, Pat Murphy, and the Iowa Supreme Court.

Krusty what happens when the world doesn’t end after Monday, when the rate of homosexuality does not increase, heterosexual marriages do not fall to pieces due to being “undefended,” and Iowa business owners realize that money from same-sex couples spends just as well as opposite sex couple? What argument do jihadist conservatives then fall back on to justify their holy war?

Iowa Cynic – this isn’t a holy war. This is a constitutional war. The courts assigned a right to a behavior. That is unconstitutional…period.

And nobody can argue with that.

This is a holy war in a nation founded on a principal that religion should not be within 2,000 feet of our laws.

You lost. It’s over. Go back to bed.

Don’t go back to bed. There might be a woman in there.

Blight,

I think you’re confusing this with the sexual predator laws.

There’s not much difference between you and a sexual predator – you both mock God and make up the rules for yourselves as you go along. Me-o-crats.

Peggy,
Please keep speaking your mind. Nothing convinces people how out of touch conservatives truly are like a conservative. You’re like a walking fundraiser for the Democratic Party.

I vote Peggy for RPI Chair for Life.

What if we applied a retroactive lense..
“It is going to be difficult watching the NAACP group unveil their campaign of lies. In their first ad, the NAACP tells Iowans that they (black people) are just like them. They are not. If you need proof, just look at those black people you see on TV. I doubt I’ll ever see an Iowa farmer looking like THAT. I mean K’mon.”

Now before you say that black people and gay people are different, because one is a choice, you should know your facts. Those people you’d say “choose” to be gay (and thus the target of your hatemongering ideology) have, in study after study, been proven to be irreversibly gay. In other words — it’s an inborn trait. And I think it’s DISGUSTING that you’re advancing a tradition of keeping people “different”, “separate”, “laughable” — how would that make YOU feel? What is it, sir, that you’re so afraid of?

What a HUGE LIE! The very existence of people who have come out of homosexualitywith the help of therapy and support disproves your bogus claim.

There is no ‘gay gene’ which is not to say that persons with Same-Sex Attraction “choose” their orientation. There are many, many factors that enter in but engaging in homosexual sex acts is undoubtedly a behavior and a choice.

I was reading your comment and didn’t see one bit of evidence to prove your point. Those links we’ve been talking about to studies or research that backs up your point of view. We are now two weeks into you completely being unable to substantiate your viewpoints, which of course means you have no evidence and are just spewing what you’re told by your theocratic leaders.

Peggy– I’m sure you’re talking about folks like Ted Haggerty and Larry Craig, right? I think I’d say that I was “fixed” if my parents were forcing me into treatment for something that wasn’t a disorder, too. Then I’d hate myself the rest of my life.

You’re wrong. ALL major scientific orgs have disproven what you’re saying — The American Psychological Association being the primary one. See: http://www.apahelpcenter.org/articles/article.php?id=31

Just because the idea that “gays can change” (or act like it convincingly) supports your hate of gay people.. that doesn’t make it true.
Peggy wrote on 24 April, 2009, 9:51
Yes, Matt, I agree with Steve on this one. Link to your bogus studies and prove that people who have come out of homosexuality don’t exist!

I think I read your mind, Peggy.

Krusty, you may want to give thanks a little closer to home. While you are technically correct that the current Governor and Legislature are directly responsible for this action, the root of the blame lies on those who both came before, and did nothing to prevent this, and from those in power within the Social Conservative movement who gave us these fools and have done nothing but personally and materially profit from it.

There is a reason this happened in Iowa and not say Minnesota or Kansas or even Illinois, all of which due to their more liberal constituencies present far more likely candidates for this effort. So why Iowa? Why now? How did things get to this point? And can we do anything to prevent it from getting worse or perhaps, in the slimmest of hopes, restore something better?

Look no further than who has been in control of our movement, who has profited from this the most in our movement, and who when the hours was nigh could have acted to prevent it. Culver and his are incompetent idiots, divided and without vision. But we are worse.

Conservatives are not fools, we are fooled. Conservatives are divided by design not accident. And Conservatives are presented with a false vision. We have been deceived and betrayed.

There are two old sayings: Ponder them. Really think about them.

The first is: We have met the enemy, and he is us.

The second is: The worst thing that can happen to a good cause is not to be skillfully attacked, but to be ineptly defended.

Can’t anyone explain the two chicks with the horse?

Homosexuals = Perez Hilton……
Republican = Larry Craig….
Christian fundamentalist = Fred Phelps…
Krusty Konservative = ??????

Hey stereotypes are fun – who else wants to play? I’m wondering if Krusty, Deace, and all the other nut jobs will get divorced on Monday when they realize their “marriages” are suddenly meaningless and unworthy of continuing.

I find it insulting and discriminatory that my entire town cannot be married together into one huge union. That way we can all file taxes together and our “average” income would qualify every one of us for free healthcare, a town of free groceries and probably no income tax. If “marriage is love and commitment”, a small town where no one moves in or out (except our kids…they all go to Ames) is the ultimate. So why stop marriage at 2? Expand it, and let us all take advantage of the same “rights” that lower income marriages have!!

I thought marriage had to be comsumated?? Oh gees! That was back in the day when we had a moral code ! I’m so old fashioned–I still believe modesty is a virtue! I KNOW! Unbelievable! I KNOW! If I voice my beliefs it makes me a BIGOT! Don’t you miss free speech? People have tried to correct my thinking. They tell me gays are victims. Poor little babies. I do feel sorry for them. They do have my pity.. Does that make me politicallly correct? Because I do care about them. I just don’t believe what they believe. Gee whiz, Perez will add me to his bitch list. I’m so upset…

You can voice your opinions as much as everyone else. Just don’t expect everyone to agree with them.

Thank you 70s guy. I’m so grateful for your permission. You know, if I speak my mind at work people try to hush me up. They whisper I’ll get fired, or even sued… Do you think that’s true? I almost feel like a court recorder. You know, unable to follow my beliefs for fear of losing my job? But I’m lucky! At least the govenor isn’t after me! Well, maybe he is. He’s kinf of sneaky. But then that’s true of ALL politicians. Swarmy varmits.
