Audio: Don't they bore themselves?
"Homosexual Agenda." "Undermine the institution of marriage." "Special treatment." "Forcing acceptance on the rest of us."
If we were bound to only a handful of hyperbolic phrases, we would fill quite stifled. We would also question why, despite possessing our own independent brains that are hopefully capable of forming our own opinions, we are all forced to stay on the same constrictive communiqué that has been decided upon by our movement. After all, nonfiction should not need a pre-approved script -- it's purveyors should feel compelled to talk a blue streak without fear that they are going to get off message.
However, our opposition seems to be quite okay with trading in their right to use autonomous, heartfelt thought in favor of canned talking points. Fond, even:

This is one of the things that I noticed most watching Milk; not only are they using the same talking points, that we've reputed and shown to be bollox, over and over.

It's the most fundamental law of biology, if you don't adapt, you die. That's why they're losing the war.

Well, their vocabulary is limited to only what is in the King James Version, so they are starting with something of a deficit to begin with. If they ever once read anything not condoned by the seventeenth century church hierarchy, that might be cause for ostracization.

"They will not be satisfied until marriage is completely defined and they're forcing acceptance on the rest of us." -- and how long have you been forcing your religion on us?
