Instead of Gay, put in Black and see how it reads
The NJ is at it again, the hate gets published and I guess it sells newspapers and gathers readers.
What more do gay black people want from state, society?
The consent of two sovereign persons constitutes marriage. This consent is expressed in “I do” and it is witnessed by the church and the state. Witnessing is not always necessary, if there are none, like on a desert island.
What constitutes sovereignty? Discipline, control and dominion over oneself and one’s passions and obedience to proper authority are part of sovereignty. Responsibility as a citizen to promote the common good is requiredSovereignty bears the imperative of charity. There is good will in sovereignty and it draws us together in love.
When the state offered

“The NJ is at it again, the hate gets published and I guess it sells newspapers and gathers readers.”
Wow. I’m really impressed by your insight. Yes, newspapers print stuff to sell more newspapers – letters, articles, photographs … there are even these neat picture-stories called “comics”! That’s a deep, dark secret. Don’t tell anyone.
Thousands of readers regularly stand in their local Happy Harry’s flipping through the pages to scan the editorial page and make sure it has at least one outrageous letter before buying a copy. If only you’d agree to write for them, they’d double their circulation overnight.
I’m really impressed that you are impressed 🙂
That letter doesn’t make much sense. Even after reading it twice I still don’t understand the point of it.
I’m with you, UI. I have no idea what this person is talking about. I think they’re trying to sound intellectual… and failing miserably.
AI: The criticism is that the newspaper presumably gets dozens of letters a day — so why does it so often print stupid ones?
Ui and Pan,
I think she is trying to make a resonable arguement and because she has so much hate for gay people it get’s in the way of her intelligence
I have seen her letters before…..I always ask the same question: If she lives in Elkton (which may have something to do w/her ‘insights’) why does she send her letters to Wilmington? Elkton still has Cecil Whig, right?
Geezer and Donwhatever,
Why not?
Are there not stupid people in this world?
Do legislators not represent stupid constituents?
Do the stupids not have a right to be heard?
Personally, I’m more concerned by her assertion that “matrimony means motherhood.” Does that mean that men aren’t married, then?
both letters make little sense.
“Do the stupids not have a right to be heard?”
Sure. That’s why we have talk radio.
In the teaching business, they call this type of letter “if you can’t dazzle them with brilliance then baffle them with bullshit.”
Stupid people shouldn’t have rights if you ask me 🙂
Should they all be round up and pied? 😉
teabagged
DV,
Is that punishment?
I’m in favor of selective elimination. The woman from Elton is first to go. I read the letter twice this morning and again just now. Her point still escapes me. Unless of course she’s just another one of those good christian people….then I get it.
