You do know that gays can marry in CA and several other states legally right now don’t you? Not that the President has much say over state’s rights in this area, but you do know that this all happened under Satan himself, GW Bush, right?

Is that the best you can come up with?

I’m sure that’s one of the “ideals” of Obama’s socialism. Hardworking wealthy Americans being forced to house the homeless / “less fortunate”.

a very weird place.

Can suck it.

…it was chairmanofthebar’s analogy.

Do you mean that Big Brother can just listen to your phone conversations for fun?Or is it a method the government can utilize to prevent future terrorist attacks?

not to get all pc on you because i am not that kind of person…but being a jew and havinf family not make it out of germany i think its a little harsh to compare our country to nazi germany…..dont get me wrong bush and his friends are the devil…..but they arent putting me in a camp and making a lamp out of my family

Too funny.

You are the one comparing the US to Nazi Germany and claiming opression and that your civil rights are being trampled. However, you have failed to provide one concrete example of any of the foregoing—just ad nauseum regurgitation of the political talking points that are woven into the scripts of network TV shows.

If you are OK with a president that sat in a congregation presided over by an anti-American, racist reverend for 18 years, that’s cool.

G-damn AmeriKKKa, right?

That’s the “change” we need!

Mr. Obama, his Democratic rival from Illinois, is second among members of Congress in donations from the firms’ employees and political action committees.

Beyond the antilobbyist message, Mr. Obama also indicts the Bush administration and the Republicans who controlled Congress for a dozen years until 2007, including Mr. McCain.

He blames them for lax regulation that freed the companies to go deep into debt to buy the mortgages that crushed them as the housing crisis persisted. Yet his fellow Democrats in Congress have been well known as enablers of the two companies for years, protecting the firms’ dueling responsibilities to support affordable housing as well as to maximize shareholder profits.

I acknowledged that both canddiates are bought and sold by lobbyists, and you asked for a link, which I provided. Your very own link supports my premise.

Like I said, not that it matters…

Doesn’t look to me like that teacher said “Oooooh gay marriage, Ima gonna indoctrinate my students! Let me find me a wedding somewhere that I can take them to!”

No, she was getting married, thought her kids could watch if they wanted to.

More importantly, it was HER INDIVIDUAL DECISION. NOT THE SCHOOL’S. NOT THE STATE’S.

Look, I’d be somewhat disturbed if my kids (should I someday have them) were taken to such a wedding, without my permission. I’d want to talk to them about it, afterward, so make sure they understood what was going on and what it meant. That might be called, you know, responsible, involved parenting (I’m not making any claims that I will, in fact, be a responsible parent, but the point still stands).

But the simple fact is, the state is not going to mandate that your kids have homosexual marriages, or that they be taught about it in schools.

Nice try.

Funny how I wouldn’t see you complaining if that teacher had taken her kids to see her get a heterosexual marriage.

the Mass. schools

and what’s already happened in this state

I wanted to know what’s happened in this state….

HOWEVER, A MAN WHO IS GAY CAN REPRODUCE IF HE WERE TO HAVE SEX WITH A WOMAN.

i have no problems with the person, i just don’t agree with what they’re doing.

mainly, your right to life should their actions directly lead to your death or liberty as they have in thousands of cases.

On the other hand, gay marriage does nothing to infringe on your rights, nor is there a legitimate argument that proves that it does.

isn’t there such a thing as separation of church & state?

Some might say very much so.

I don’t have a family, yet. But when I hopefully someday do have a family, I do NOT want other people in other denominations telling my children what they must believe and that the way I’m raising them is wrong.

In high school, I was told by a teacher or two that I was going to H-ll for being of my denomination (which is, in fact, one of the largest Christian denominations in the country). It was a private, religious HS, so that was to be expected.

But I will NEVER tolerate that happening to my kids. Especially in a public school.

maybe you should read Bible before you call me a hypocrite.

How about the $25 million offered up by the Mormons to foot the bill for Prop. 8. Imagine an entire group of people forced to settle out in Utah partly because the government would not recognize their polygamous marital practices trying to alter the constitution to enforce marriage between one man and one woman in California.

The beautiful hypocrisy.

13 " ’If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

It also Says……..

10 " ‘If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death.

 15 " ’If a man has sexual relations with an animal, he must be put to death, and you must kill the animal.

If you are no on 8, what would be your stance if people want to marry animals? I voted Yes on 8 because of my beliefs and the way I was raised, therefore I am also against adultery and relationships with animals.

And whats with the equal rights thing? WE ALL HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS. We are all free to marry a woman, and we are all not able to marry our same sex, so whats the problem?

Sorry if any of this sounds stupid, its just my view and I dont mean to offend anyone. I dont have anything against gay people, but I do not agree with their life style. I have 2 friends from highschool that are gay and still talk to them. When I found out they thought that I was not going to talk to them anymore. I told them, “Look your still the same person that I was friends with so why would I stop talking to you. If you choose to be with a guy, thats your choice. Just dont act any different around me, and I wont act any different around you.”

That there are gay animals?

And look! Those penguins raised a baby penguin! Too bad that egg couldn’t have just been left out to rot without any other willing or viable parental options.

I’ll bet they “choose” that lifestyle, too.

i just left it blank

I see, sounds like a slam dunk vote to me then, but out here in PA I don’t have to worry about it.

That’s the one I said yes on.

“Or can some scientist please explain the banana being perfectly made by god to fit into our hands. It’s proof that evolution is false!”

Amazing that this stuff still goes on.

whatever helps you sleep at night. :P

conform to what you want.
