  • Amazon CEO Bezos donates $2.5 million for same-sex marriage
    By Erin Kim @CNNMoneyTech
    July 27, 2012: 3:27 PM ET

    NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos is backing same-sex marriage.

    Bezos and his wife, MacKenzie, donated $2.5 million to Washington United for Marriage, a coalition to uphold the state's same-sex marriage law. It is believed to be the largest individual donation to protect same-sex marriage.
    The couple has doubled the organization's funds for the campaign to approve Referendum 74 in November. The measure will determine whether or not to legalize same-sex civil unions in Washington state.
    "The extraordinary contribution from Jeff and MacKenzie Bezos will make an enormous difference for our campaign to defend Washington's marriage law," said WUM campaign manager Zach Silk in a statement.

    Regarding the contribution, an Amazon (AMZN, Fortune 500) spokesman said the couple feels strongly about the issue and made a personal decision.
    The donation by Bezos follows the launch of a same-sex marriage campaign by Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) earlier this month. "Legalize Love" focuses on regions where ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ activities are considered illegal.
    Electronic Arts (EA), which publishes popular games like "Madden NFL" and "The Sims," also joined the movement. A couple weeks ago, the company announced it signed a docuмent opposing the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines a legal union as between a man and woman.

  • He's got to be either a Jєω, or a fag himself.

    (Being married doesn't prove anything. Michael Jackson got married -- to a woman -- for a while.)

    Who the heck donates 2.5 million of their own money so that queers can be legally married?

    Everyone with a brain knows that gαys don't *want* to be married. It's not in their culture. Marriage is for the founding of families, because children need two parents. They know very well that 2 men or 2 women can't produce children together. So why would they want to be married? But the fact is, they don't. All the publicity of so-called gαy Marriage is just to destroy the institution of marriage.

    But it would be a mystery why Jeff Bezos is doing this, unless he's dedicated to destroying the morals of the goyim (pushing them ever downward), so they can more easily be controlled by his fellow Jєωs...

  • BTW, you may have noticed I have a nice Amazon link at the bottom of my post smashing Jeff Bezos.

    Well, I must say: If you're going to buy something from a mom & pop operation, that is the preferred course of action. We don't want Amazon and Wal-mart to be the only options, do we?

    But if you're going to buy from Home Depot, or Lowes, or any of a hundred other corporations, it really makes no difference which one you support. None of them are run by Trad Catholics, a bunch of them support gαy marriage, sponsor soap operas and immoral (or even anti-Catholic) TV shows, they support contraception, abortion, you name it.

    Buying that bedsheet, set of curtains, medicine, DVD, or kitchen gadget from Amazon instead of Wal-mart is NOT a bad thing at all. Do you think Wal-mart stands for all that is holy? They take advantage of their employees (requiring that workers "punch out" once they hit their allocated number of hours, even though they expect them to work further!) and exploit cheap overseas and child labor. The heirs of Sam Walton live *very* large in massive mansions. They don't handle it or wear it like Catholics either.

    So while we must have principles and live by them, we must also be informed. Supporting Wal-mart over Amazon would just be ignorant.

    The CEO of Amazon is also not paid on commission. He's going to get his large salary regardless of how much Amazon makes. Your $50 purchase isn't going to make a difference one way or the other. I happen to know how much ALL of CathInfo spends on Amazon in a given month -- it really isn't much, unfortunately. :)

  • That is an interesting perspective and stance to take.  I would like to know how those same attitudes and definitions apply to the marketing of health insurance plans in which it is mandatory that it be explained that because of Obamacare all birth control products, abortions and all the other evils associated with this plan are mandated by this law even if you are against it, or don't want it- it's there and you can't take it out-you are paying for it; and if I object to being forced to reveal it right out the shoot-TOUGH!- They will tell me to sell vacuums or encyclopedias.

    Now, mind you this is an honest question- not meant to be combative, contentious, or rotten in any way, shape, or form.  I'm wondering what ethical and moral codes of conduct I'm putting myself at risk of, but more importantly, what Faith matters are going to be violated in such matters.

  • Also, and buckle your seat belts, because this story nearly made me leave the room to.....well, I want to be polite for the ladies.

    Two "men", bought health care plans, and the one wanted to know if 'breast augmentation' would be covered, under the Obamacare mandates.  
    Are you ready?
    The answer was, and this is for him: Yes.  Paid in full, (your taxes) thanks to QueerOcare!

    Contraceptive Mandate Suffers Court Blow as Catholic Business Wins Crucial Court Case

    Read more on Newsmax.com: Contraceptive Mandate Suffers Court Blow as Catholic Business Wins Crucial Court Case

    A Colorado business owned by a Catholic family does not have to comply with President Barack Obama's new healthcare mandate that private employers provide employees with insurance coverage of birth control, a Colorado federal judge ruled on Friday.

    U.S. District Judge John Kane in Denver temporarily blocked the government from the enforcing the contraception requirement against the religious owners of Hercules Industries Inc, a private manufacturer of heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment.

    The ruling only affects this plaintiff but opens the door for any company to seek relief on religious grounds. Lawyers for the Department of Health and Human Services argued that a temporary exemption for Hercules would interfere with the government's ability to implement the law. But Kane was not persuaded.

    "This harm pales in comparison to the possible infringement upon (the Newland family's) constitutional and statutory rights," the judge wrote. He noted that the government had already created numerous exceptions for religious employers, exempting over 190 million health plan participants.

    The law posed an imminent harm to the company's owners by forcing them to support contraception, sterilization and abortion in violation of their religious beliefs or face steep fines, Kane said.

    Members of the Newland family, which owns Hercules, sued in April, challenging the provision that is part of the new health care law, the Affordable Care Act of 2010.

    Roman Catholic bishops and many Republican lawmakers oppose the provision. The Catholic Church launched a campaign against it from Sunday Mass pulpits across the country. Catholic Church doctrine opposes artificial contraception but most American Catholics do not adhere to church policy.

    Hercules provides a self-insured group plan for its 265 full-time employees that does not cover birth control, sterilization or abortion-inducing drugs. But the new regulation would require Hercules to provide such coverage by Nov. 1, the ruling said.

    Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius expressed disappointment with the decision in a statement.

    "This lawsuit was not brought by a religious organization. Rather, it was brought by a for-profit commercial enterprise whose purpose is to sell HVAC equipment," she said, adding that healthcare decisions should be between women and their doctors, not their employers.

    "Every American, including family business owners, should be free to live and do business according to their faith," Matthew Bowman, a lawyer for Hercules with the Alliance Defense Fund, said in a statement.

    More than 20 lawsuits are pending around the country against the birth control mandate, brought by organizations including the University of Notre Dame, Catholic University of America and the Archdiocese of New York.

    On July 17, another federal judge in Nebraska dismissed a similar lawsuit brought by seven states, two Catholic individuals and three Catholic non-profit institutions, finding that the plaintiffs did not face any immediate harm from the law.

    Because 2.5 million dollars is pocket change for these people.  They did so the ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs would spend money.  It is all about money.

    the ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ movement  is about money and power.  They want to make ilegal for our priests to deny them marriage and communion.  A priest from DC was already ostracized to Russia for denying a budist lesbian who was former novus ordo catholic communion.  She won that day and further promoted her agenda for gαy rights.  

    It seems that liberals control the internet too.

    Chick-Fil-A  on August 1st for me...

    I doubt very much if it was preached from all the novus ordo pulpits especially liberal and very pro choice New Jersey.

    I know exactly what you're talking about. We are indeed required to punch out or we get in trouble and our hours have to be exactly 39 hours or we can eventually get fired, just so the managers can "get their bonuses." What a bunch of slimy, greedy bastards. I wouldn't mind that if they paid a family wage or living wage but they don't even do that.

    Yeah, all opposites of how a virtuous man is supposed to act, but describe in detail, one consumed by vice.

    Bacchus, the roman god of wine, became more and more effiminate as time went on.  Dionysius, his greek counterpart, was half man and half woman.  

    ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs are "unnatural" and aristotle said usury was "unnatural," since money doesn't procreate and hence, should not be "re-producing."  :jester:

    Well Rome also became like Weimar Germany with ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity and pagan orgies. Yes ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs are against Nature which is why God himself punishes this mental sickness with destruction of society and AIDs. As for consumerism and hedonism those are American values I find revolting. I don't believe in American "exceptionalism."

    The housing bubble should prove that God punishes usury too.

    Well those banks were definitely greedy no doubt about that. That crisis should have put all of our over-educated, stuffy "damn fools" of the financial and political elite out of business.
