The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

I'm going to put on my black top hat and cape, paint on a handlebar mustache and I'm going to go out and destroy some straight marriages right now. Nyuk nyuk nyuk!

In an open letter released this morning, the head of the Log Cabin Republicans takes President Bush to task for supporting the proposed federal marriage amendment, which the U.S. Senate begins debating today. Patrick Guerriero, the outgoing executive director of the gay GOP group, calls the president's support of the discriminatory amendment "an insult to millions of fair minded Americans from all walks of life."

The full text of the letter follows:

Mr. President,

On behalf of millions of gay and lesbian Americans, I write to denounce your decision to divide the American family by promoting an amendment that would insert discrimination into the United States Constitution. Your decision to use the grounds of the White House—America's House—to advance discrimination is an insult to millions of fair minded Americans from all walks of life...

Boom, baby!

Wow-' boom, baby' is right. Great letter, and one I think should be printed in every newspaper in this country.
