Who Needs Laws, Anyway?

First Gavin Newsom thumbed his nose at California's gay-marriage ban, now he says he will flout any federal immigration law he disagrees with.

Whether you agree or disagree with either of those laws (or potential laws) is irrelevant, but Newsom is a fart-smelling nitwit – albeit a very attractive one.  (I also blame his entirely incorrect tactics on gay marriage for much of the political blowback that eventually followed, far more than I blame Massachusetts judges.)

He probably figures if he does ignore any Federal marriage law... and does it longer than 5 years... his only penalty might just be being granted amnesty by the United States Senate.

Who the hell does he think he is, George Bush?

I just googled him. Wow. I can literally see why voters (esp. those in SF) voted for him:

And it also seems he's been making the rounds ;)

Nitwit? Hardly. He's pretty much locking down votes for re-election.

And the only reason he deserves any of the lion's share of the blame for the blowback is because he did it first (which, in itself, was a bit cynical to beat Mass, but that's another story). If he'd waited until after Massachutesess okayed them, do you think the blowback would be any less?

And he wasn't the only one. Too, he's a mayor, for chrissakes. Not a governer, not a state legislator, not a judge. Just a mayor of a loony little town on the loony left coast.

It doesn't matter where the first ones would have happened, either. You're totally fooling yourself if you think it does, because no matter who would have done it first, it would have provoked an immediate backlash in other cities in other states. It doesn't matter if it happened that Feb 14th, or last year, or three or ten years from now. After all, it only took the threat of same-sex marraige for DOMA to be signed, without any such marraiges actually being performed.

And South Park, bless it, has it all wrong. We don't smell our own farts. We prefer to smell each others. Much kinkier that way.

A fart-smelling nitwit! My goodness, that sounds like something that the French guard from Monty Python and the Holy Grail would have said.

Newsom is so f*#&ing HOT!

Of course, the amusing part is that Newsom is now cavorting with an actress whose religious beliefs on gays leave a bit to be desired.

But, as I blogged, that's SF politics....

[Another Gaymer]

As an avowed Catholic, Newsom's own religious teachings aren't exactly sunshine and plum pudding where The Gays are concerned (albeit they are less genocidal -- *these* days).

Could it be he actually can set them aside with regard to civil rights? Why, it looks like he can! If he can do it for his own, I see no reason he can't do it for beliefs which he doesn't even share.

But if he converts to Scientology? He so would jump the shark.

If the Federal Government is going to pass this racist law, then let the Federal government enforce it.

I thought conservatives were supposed to oppose unfunded mandates from the Federal Government anyway.

It's not racist to round up illegal immigrants and ship them home.

I work with a legal immigrant who jumped through every hoop known to bureaucracy in order to comply with our laws. He sees the illegals enjoying the benefits without the duties as 12 million slaps in his face.
