The High Five are the five most-read stories, updated hourly.
I thought it was ironic that the story about dictator Robert Mugabe was on the same page as three people talking about the same-sex issue. Mugabe used intimidation and even murder to take over Zimbabwe. He also said "We are not going to give up our country because of a mere X" on a paper ballot. That seems to be a common theme with the people who support the same-sex marriage issue. They don't care what the vote was, twice even. They keep on trying to force their beliefs on us. That's also the words one of the writers used to describe what Christians try to do to them; but not accepting the vote of the majority, and trying to force your beliefs on us, is hypocrisy. Another writer believes her love makes bad behavior OK. People can judge actions without judging the people.
The third writer was an atheist who feels above religious people. The vote taken in California was all walks of religion, and the majority voted it down.
Get the message: You are hurting our government by throwing out our vote and ruining our country one step at a time.
