This is not an article about people who are upset that John McCain lost the election. As far as I know, most conservatives, although disappointed and somewhat concerned, have accepted the election results and continued on with their lives. That is, unfortunately, not the case with the people who opposed Proposition Eight in California. According to Yahoo News, the people who opposed Proposition Eight have gotten downright ugly. According to the article--
"A National Protest Against Prop 8 organized by JoinTheImpact.com is scheduled for this Saturday. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which opponents say donated more than $20 million to the Yes on 8 campaign, has already become a focus of protests, with demonstrators gathered around Mormon temples not only in California but across the country."
When an election is held, the results need to be accepted until a new election can be held. Protest is legal in this country and should remain so, but some of these protests have gone over the edge. There was white powder sent to a Mormon Church this week (the Mormon Church supported Proposition Eight financially and vocally), and there was a church service disrupted in the midwest by gay activists last weekend. Everyone needs to take a deep breath and behave like grownups.
