Boy, The ‘Daily News’ Sure Is Full Of A Bunch Of Annoying Letters To The Editor Today

Seriously, this isn’t reaching a Northeast Times levels of ridiculousness, but it might be passing it in annoyance factor. Consider:

NEVER MIND that an overwhelming majority of Americans oppose gay marriage. It’s perilously close to becoming the law of the land unless citizens step up and demand our federal lawmakers pass the Marriage Protection Amendment.

Yelling “discrimination” is just one strategy the left has used to defeat this amendment. They also argue that gay marriage is a civil-rights issue like the African-American struggle for equality. Jesse Jackson has denounced that claim, noting that “gays were never called three-fifths human in the Constitution.”

Without the MPA, there’s nothing to prevent activist judges like those on the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, which legalized gay marriage a few years ago, from creating not only gay marriage, but legalizing polygamy and even marriages between people and their pets.

Contact your senators and urge them to support the Marriage Protection Amendment when they vote the first week in June.

Or this asshole:

Addiction as a disease? Sounds reasonable. Grabs you right by the sympathies.

Unfortunately, to call addiction a disease is to demean all true illnesses and those who have been afflicted by them. Addiction is a choice. Every time a question is asked, from “Should I get high?” to “Which high?” to “Family or dope?” an answer must be chosen.

And don’t think we’re letting you off the hook, Councilman Jack Kelly, even though you wrote an opinion piece instead of a letter. We’re down with you since you use Myspace, but try and tone it down a little next time:

LAST YEAR, there were a reported 380 murders in Philadelphia. In actuality, the number was closer to 35,000 if you count the cats and dogs needlessly killed at our city pound, the Philadelphia Animal Care and Control Agency.

And if you count all the anthills stepped on, the number is too high to calculate!
