You have the right to be an Idiot

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Isn't it amazing freedom of speech. The top priority in constitutional amendments involved the right to speak freely and to worship as you see fit. In 7th grade the constitution was explained to be in a very simple way. In America you are suppose to be free to do whatever you want as long as you do not impede someone else freedom. In even simpler terms, I can walk down the street swinging my fist until they make contact with someone. I believe that if you wanna be an idiot that is your right! If you want to kill your self that is cool too. If you want to not like someone for a belief, action, ideology or perceived genetic attribute cool beans. This is America hate who you want love who you want as long as you don't impede on others in the process. I think it is ok if your a racist good for you here is a brownie badge. It is not cool if you go and harass the group you don't like. Burning crosses and lynching and other actions are not acceptable. I guess the thought is if you truely hate something you will not stand idle while it exist. This is a lie. I hate stupid people. I do not go stupid people hunting. I do not actively seek out and hurass stupid people.

Well as is my nature it takes a 10,000 word essay to make a 4 word point. What is truly killing this country are the Al Sharptons. People who need to stir the flames to make a point and maintain whatever fame they think they have. Al Sharpton is an Idiot. It is apparent to a majority of the population that he is an idiot. Well there is a new player in the game his name is Perez Hilton. Let me start by saying Perez Hilton your an idiot! Anyhow this moron is trying to become the Al Sharpton of the gay world. He is actively attacking Miss California because he didn't like her answer on gay marriage. So the train of thought is if I say no to gay marriage I hate gay people... Funny thing is I am friends with several gay people who are not overly religious and they say no to gay marriage. So following this train of thought all my gay friends are bigot homophobes. I have been married twice and in my humble opinion there should be no straight marriage, much less gay marriage. I think people like Perez Hilton need to be stopped before they start. Miss California should be free to love, hate or disagree with whatever she choses. The circus surrounding this makes it sound like she is one of those nut jobs woth the "god hates fags" signs when in reality she gave a fair answer to an unfair question. In reality I think marrage is a religious institution and as such the government should butt out and let the churches decide yea or nay on gay marriage. Marriage has unfortunately become a civil institution. In the civil institution there is no reason why gays should be excluded as it is a simple 2 party contract. In a contract all that is required is a meeting of the minds. If too people are capable of entering a contract a marriage on a civil level is the same as buying a cell phone. On the religious level I think it is up to the church. In my church I would not see a gay marriage it is against my beliefs. That said you go to the church next door and they will happily perform a gay wedding and good for them. This is how it should be. I am not going to walk in to that church and set it on fire and I hope they would afford my church the same courtesy. If you want to know my beliefs read my blog or ask me and I will be happy to share them with you. If I want to know your beliefs I will ask. Do not come push your beliefs on me I will not push mine on you. The biggest part of the whole thing, do not ask my belief if your not ready for the answer. Perez asked for Miss Californias belief and she gave him an answer he was not ready for. Miss California did not go on to the soap box to push her belief, she simply answered the wrong question.
