Grasping at straws

When I was a young child I was told that, if I clapped real hard, a dying Tinkerbell would be revived. Even at that young age I knew that it was just make believe. It would take a few more years to develop that "yeah, sure" attitude.

National Organization for Marriage's Brian Brown is still clapping for fairies:

Gay Marriage Legal In New York? Not If We Work Together!
. . . 
But you also know that New York is critically important—more so than most others.

The same-sex marriage lobbyists have been focusing on the Empire State for a long time, pouring millions of dollars into their campaigns to permanently legalize gay marriage. Now they are focused on convincing you and your fellow citizens of the LIE that the fight is over.

He goes on to reiterate how NOM is going to pour $2 million into primary challenges to New York Republicans who voted for marriage equality and repeal gay marriage. Of course, rather than clap, he expects people to send in money to NOM.

Later in the day:

Gay Marriage Legal In California? Not If We Work Together!

Is Mr. Brown presuming that the stay will be lifted when the 9th Circuit upholds Judge Walker? It's irrelevant. The purpose of and for this missive is to solicit contributions.

Brown has never had this kind of fiscal responsibility nor made this kind of money. He's not going away. If the Supreme Court ultimately delivers our equivalent of Loving v Virginia, Brian will try to make a living advocating for a virtually impossible constitutional amendment.
