		<description>[...] Obama was for gays before he was against them and he&#8217;ll be for them again soon, his aides will explain. But how long will gays and lesbians ride this emotional roller coaster before they grow sick of the bones they&#8217;re occasionally thrown? How long until they realize the Defense of Marriage Act isn&#8217;t going anywhere on Obama&#8217;s watch and he won&#8217;t be revamping the federal tax code to benefit same-sex couples any time soon? How long until all that cultist hope evaporates permanently and liberal gays realize that rumors of impending change have been greatly exaggerated? [...]</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Because the end goal of homosexual marriage isn’t homosexual marriage, it’s the denial of religious freedom and parental choice.

Everywhere homosexual marriage has been passed, it has been passed by judicial fiat. And then the lawsuits come. Catholic adoption agencies have to shut down their services when they refuse to adopt out to homosexuals on religious grounds.

School curriculum is introduced to sell homosexuality, an abberrant, damaging lifestyle, as the moral and legitimate equivalent to heterosexual relationships. Any parents who oppose it are told to go screw by school administrators.

Homosexual marriage is about control and limiting liberty. That is why it is dangerous, not because the government is handing out benefits to two deranged human beings who think their relationship is somehow normal and healthy because it makes their parts tingle.&lt;/blockquote&gt;


&lt;strong&gt;Wow!&lt;/strong&gt;  What a breath of fresh (hot) air here!!!!  True words indeed BKennedy. 

Wish more &lt;em&gt;could &lt;/em&gt;see it....&lt;em&gt;would &lt;/em&gt;see it.</description>

		<description>With advances in gene research, this will be a non-topic in the next 20 years or so. Prospective parents will not only choose the sex of their offspring, but will be able to delete errant chromosomes of all kinds. Gays are born gay due to an errant chromosome much like the children with Down&#039;s Syndrome. Think about it. Who would choose to have a gay child? Gays will be nonexistant with the advance of science........</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I think it’s going to be at least another decade, especially considering gay marriage couldn’t even pass in California this year, and they’re normally at least a decade ahead of the rest of us.

Esthier on January 13, 2009 at 10:44 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

If you mean CA is a decade ahead of the country in moral and financial bankruptcy, I would agree.</description>

Ahead???? Ahead?

Might want to re-think that one.

John The Baptist on January 13, 2009 at 10:57 PM
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

By ahead I only mean leading the charge. They normally start things in California that the rest of the country eventually adopts. That&#039;s not a moral judgment.</description>

		<description>It’s not a breeding war. The Neanderthals can breed like roaches, but their kids are still going to support gay marriage. The facts about gay people win when people take the time to be rational about homosexuality.

The facts? The &lt;em&gt;facts &lt;/em&gt;are indeed altering of opinion--but against--not for----such deathstyles.

You can be an evolutionist , it doesn&#039;t take faith, to see the error. In fact, a logical conclusion is that it&#039;s a birth defect and should be treated with pity, but not promotion.

It is &lt;em&gt;logically, physically, naturally, spiritually &lt;/em&gt;and in every other way, a &lt;strong&gt;PERVERSION &lt;/strong&gt;that is bad for the individual, their family, and society as a whole.</description>

Not all kids rebel, and like it or not, even completely rational people find homosexuality &quot;icky&quot;. I&#039;m not saying that&#039;s an appropriate viewpoint. I&#039;m just acknowledging the truth.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Report back, please, when you find out how someone was able to do that from someone’s crotch.

Entelechy on January 13, 2009 at 7:15 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Ha! Not bad.

&lt;blockquote&gt;hopefully by the end of his 2nd term and as more old homophobe bigots die off he can publicly support it….

Noneya on January 13, 2009 at 8:14 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

That&#039;s sweet. It&#039;s not about changing hearts and minds but about hoping people die, quickly, all for some peoples&#039; love. It&#039;s like a fairly tale.</description>

<p>That&#8217;s sweet. It&#8217;s not about changing hearts and minds but about hoping people die, quickly, all for some peoples&#8217; love. It&#8217;s like a fairly tale.</p>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Ahhhh…you’re talking about “dying off” in a triumphalist forces-of-history-and-righteousness-are-irresistable sense. Gotcha. Look, I have mixed feelings about gay marriage. Maybe my own view will triumph in the end, and it will always remain a gray area.

Yes, you are right.  I have to admit that I do have some problem with being so triumphalist.  I&#039;m not sure that anything is given.  Who knows?  Islam may triumph and not only will the old, murdering homophobia return, but  slavery will also return.  We just don&#039;t know the future.  

Furthermore, triumphalist rhetoric is overly smug and I don&#039;t really like it.  I use in this particular case, because the voting trends are pretty clear about the increasingly greater support for gay rights.  And I really do believe that there are more important issues to discuss.  I hate it when people who would favor lower taxes vote leftist because of the gay issue.

If we were ever to meet in person, I don&#039;t think you&#039;d find me overly smug.  At least, that is one of my fondest wishes.</description>

Never attribute to &quot;political expedience&quot; what you can more easily attribute to &quot;just plain dumb fuckery&quot;.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;It’s not a breeding war. The Neanderthals can breed like roaches, but their kids are still going to support gay marriage. The facts about gay people win when people take the time to be rational about homosexuality.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Let’s see: you have Neanderthal heterosexuals and married gay couples. I’d say the latter is in more danger of dying off first.

Once again, I see where Obama is coming from. An presidential election should be on real issues–like say socialism or resisting Islam–not some nonsense about whether we cave into the Neanderthals opposed to gay marriage as they die off.
