I hope they grow up to be ashamed of themselves for this...

The insanity has hit the Devil's Trailerpark, bigtime... as I bus home from OC and see people proudly hauling their kids out to line several blocks of mainstreet to drum up voter support for Prop 8, which they are telling people... I kid you not.... is NOT against gay marriage... it's against teaching homosexuality/gay rights in public schools.

We knew a week or two ago that Prop 8 supporters were lying to get people to have a knee jerk reaction and vote yes on their measure... that's why the California schools made an announcement stating they don't teach ANYTHING about marriage in the public school system... between a man/ woman or whoever. But some people believe anything they hear on tv/radio/read on the Internet no matter what the source, and once locked into their narrow minded head no factual information has room to enter.

On the opposite side of the street (couldn't get a decent shot through the bus windows) were "No on Prop 8" protesters, most with home made signs. My impression is they saw the big Prop 8 propaganda thing going on, went home and grabbed their lawn signs and markers and came out to provide support for the other viewpoint :)

i agree. some people don't think for themselves. it's much easier to be a sheep. and unscrupulous people take advantage of this.
Um, yeah...: 11/01/2008 3:19 PM
What happens if one of these rent a kids are gay? What message are they telling them. I think everyone should know their rights.

i hate seeing kids brought into politics like this. theyre too young to understand whats happening, and they are either indoctrinated or used as a tool to gain support

This kind of stuff depresses me. I seriously hope this doesn't pass. :(

on some part of me goes "you shouldn't take your kids to protests" and then I remember, my first memory is a Save Roe rally when I was two.

This was parents making their kids stand on the street with signs that said "Children's Rights!" and "Save Families!"... they were using them as PROPS to promote an outright lie :(

I completely agree with you there. It's completely unfair to the children to protest against political issues when they may not completely understand what it is they're protesting against, not to mention completely ignorant and incompetent of their parents. I would never ask my son to do something like this (he's a preschooler, but that's beside the point)-even if he were old enough to vote I wouldn't push my agenda on him.

Besides, these kids deserve to be kids-out having fun playing with their friends and enjoying life! Not protesting against propositions at the hands of their parents!

ugh, i agree to. i was watching cnn the other day and they were talking about prop 8 and they had this little clip of a little kid who was at a rally for it and do you KNOW what he said!! and mind you, this is a FIVE year old kid!!

"we need to pass prop 8 so that faggots can be punished for their sins"

my dad yelled for standing for so long in front of the tv with my mouth hanging open. because when that little kid. this LITTLE KID THAT IS 2 YEARS YOUNGER THAN MY SISTER. just said that faggots need to be punished i just couldn't believe that his parents are just THAT close minded. it's fucked up shit man. fucked up shit
