The ugly face of intolerance and bigotry

While the governor of California and many state representatives are seeking to find sneaky ways to overturn the will of the people on prop 8, spitting with anger and vitriole, loud and enraged 'No on 8' thugs attack an elderly woman and trample on the cross she is carrying, while carrying signs talking about 'love.'

Its hard to believe that the USA has sunk so low.

Do we really want a country where people like these are accommodated?

Did Obama really win?

Today's LA Times online includes an article entitled Proposition 8 supporters vent frustration over continued protests that describes the frustration that many of us feel at how bad the losers are behaving regarding Prop 8. This includes weasel-like legal action aimed at undermining the constitutional amendment.

Perhaps the protesters feel like Laury Creyaufmiller who is quoted in the article as saying: "..... the margin of victory by 4.6 percentage points statewide did not send a clear message that Californians were against gay marriage."

Perhaps I do not understand American politics, but does this mean that because Obama only got 52% of the popular vote that it is not clear as to who the American people want as their president?
