Liberal Double Standard of the Day

Deval Patrick, governor of a state with some of the most bigoted and discriminatory gun laws in the country, speaking on the recent California Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage in that state:

"Our experience in Massachusetts has taught us that whenever we affirm the right of people to come before their government as equals, we all win," Patrick said. "I congratulate the California court for upholding that principle."


Screw you, pal. You wouldn't recognize true equality for all citizens if it fell from the sky in a blazing ball of molten lava and bit your dick off.

Also from that article:

"We're going to do everything we can to make sure that people focus on and see what we have here in Massachusetts, and that marriage equality is good, and it's good for same-sex couples, and it's good for the Commonwealth," said Marc Solomon, the executive director of MassEquality, a leading group in support of gay marriage. "It's important that people take a close look at the one place that has it and learn from our example."


Or...

"We're going to do everything we can to make sure that people focus on and see what we have here in New Hampshire, and that the right to openly carry a gun is good, and it's good for families, and it's good for New Hampshire," ... "It's important that people take a close look at a place that has it and learn from our example."


To paraphrase Orwell, some rights are more equal than others.
