Sore Losers…

Sore losers won’t let go in California

Here’s what I don’t get about California and the recent Proposition 8 vote: Why all the commotion over yet another passage of yet another marriage amendment?

This was the 30th time a state has placed either a constitutional amendment proposal or its equivalent on its ballot, and the 30th time the amendment has passed.

Thirty straight wins is formidable. It’s downright Globetrotter-esque. The New England Patriots didn’t even go 30-0.

Nice.  Tens of thousands of loving, devoted couples have just been forcibly divorced, care of the tens of millions of dollars the Mormon church shoveled into California’s ballot initiative process, and this prize Mormon lout is comparing that trauma to a sports game.  I guess part of the process of becoming a god involves laughing at the humanity of those mere mortals who just happen to be your neighbors in this life too…

 

To: Lee Benson (benson@desnews.com), The Mormon Times.
Subject: Sore Losers

Sore losers Mr. Benson?  The thousands of loving, devoted same sex couples who’ve just had their ring fingers cut off by your church are sore losers are they?  Well…I reckon.  But count on more sore losers to come.  Sore losers like Richard Raddon, who just lost his job at the Los Angles Film Festival after his donation of 1500 dollars came to light.  And Scott Eckern, who lost his job at the California Musical Theater when his donation of a thousand dollars came to light.  Sore losers like Marjorie Christoffersen, owner of the El Coyote in Los Angles, who has lost customers and the respect of her neighborhood when her donation came to light.  Sore losers.  Election day has come and gone, and the votes have all been counted, and still the ranks of sore losers grow.  And grow.  And grow.  We were supposed to just go away now weren’t we?  Because it couldn’t possibly matter to us that our ring fingers had just been cut off.  Because homosexuals don’t love, they just have sex.

Eckern and Raddon, and all the sore losers still to come got exactly what they asked for, exactly what they worked so righteously to achieve.  A world without love, without sympathy, without kindness and trust.  A world where love grovels before the mob, and the human heart is something anyone can spit on if they have enough votes.  Your church spent millions to tell our neighbors, our co-workers, our parents and children, our brothers and sisters, our families and our friends, that their gay and lesbian companions in this life were invading their schools to molest their children, imprison their clergymen, and destroy western civilization.   And now we’re sore losers too.  Well…I guess if we can be destroyers of western civilization, we can be that too without too much additional burden.

Sore losers?  Okay.  Fine.  Whatever.  And you…may you spend every second of the rest of your life watching victory laugh in your face.  You reached for the poison.  Now drink it.

One Response to “Sore Losers…”

  1. Bob C Says:

    I trust that you will share any reply that the sore winner sends you?

    Here is the email I will send him:
    Dear Mr Benson, The Pillar of Salt Lake City

    GOD HATES FAGS!
    Welcome to our side. We were unsure of where your church stands on the important issues,
    such as Fag Marriage. You have now removed any doubt, and shown that The Mormon
    Church is completely in accordance with the bible, and we here at the Westboro Baptist
    Church.
    It is most satisying to watch those sore-losing Fags roil in their misery, just like the
    Niggers did the 30 plus times they lost various civil rights efforts. We appreciate and
    admire the efforts that The Mormon Church has put into this.
    Glad to have you on board with us.
    With god We Hate
    Sincerly,
    The Rev Fred Phelps
    Westboro Baptist Church, Topeka.
    PS: You are still going to hell, because you’re not a Baptist.
