&lt;p&gt;California Dreaming!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Keep digging the hole, Republicans. Keep digging!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ok, I am going to be quite honest with the American public. I have nothing against anyone who is Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual or Transgender. So when I heard about whats going on in California and how the Religious Right got involved, I had to answer. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The American GBLT community is fighting back, and I give my full support to having their rights being heard.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Supreme Court of California overturned the gay marriage ban in 2008. A conservative group with the help of the Church of Latter Days Saints had pushed a proposition to void the marriages and reinforce the ban on gay marriage. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The religious right of the Republican Party and The DUMB Right are showing their love to the people.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As a straight person, I respect marriage. I would one day settle down with a wife and kids someday. But in the meantime, I will keep fighting for the truth and open the door to America.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So why is it wrong for a gay couple to be married? They are not hurting me! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They want to live their lives in peace. I have no problem with it!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I feel that in an age where the old style is becoming old, America still has hurdles to climb in order to make freedom, not just a slogan. It has to mean something.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Conservatives love to claim their "patriotism", "proud of their country", "liberty", and "freedom" as their words.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They want focus on "culture war" issues instead of trying to fix the economy, end the wars, lower food, gas and heating oil prices, home foreclosure, Wall Street turmoil and of course job loss! They rather continue to "out of touch" with the rest of the country. In which it may prove fail to those incumbent Republicans facing re-election.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;2010 is another Midterm Election, wonder what kind of impact this will have on the upcoming elections?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks for viewing. Thank all the supporters of my videos. To all critics and those who blindly trust the media! Turn that television, radio and internet smear machine off. Let real media analysis do the work for you. I am not a fact-checker, journalist or media analysis. I am expressing an honest opinion about whats going on in my community, government and the corrupt mainstream media. And as always, if present any errors in the making of this video, please dont hesitate to send a message and I will correct the record on the next video. For all the critics watching worldwide! Do me a favor by: Proving Me Wrong!&lt;/p&gt;
