Backers of Gay Marriage Ban Find Tepid Response in Pews
By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK

Just four months after an alliance of conservative Christians was threatening a churchgoer revolt unless President Bush championed an amendment banning same-sex marriage, members say they have been surprised and disappointed by what they call a tepid response from the pews.
Most of the groups supporting the proposed federal constitutional amendment concede that it appears all but dead in Congress for this election year.
As Massachusetts prepares to become the first state in the nation to allow same-sex marriage on Monday, several high-profile conservatives say they are now pinning their hopes mainly on reaction to events there, betting that scenes of gay weddings in Provincetown may set off a public outcry.
You are a dense as depleted uranium. You had scenes of gay weddings all over hell and back. And yes, there was a public outcry…from you.
What were you expecting to see tomorrow in Provincetown that hadn't been already seen? Gay orgies in the park? Please…
The fact is, you've seen all the support on this issue that you're going to get. Gay marriage isn't a national security issue so nothing in the discussion was redacted or hidden. And truthfully, talking to Christ 5 yesterday (that would be several hundred years in the future to you) he told me how disappointed everyone was with the reaction to what his earlier reifications taught. He's still waiting for 144,000 honorable Christians to be alive at the same time before he fully reifys.
Anyway, I just thought I'd let you know you could be directing your energies toward something important instead of something already writ large.
Your friend and respected adversary,
