Breaking The Obama Addiction?

[AmyHollar]

  In 20 years, they're gonna look back & say "can you believe people were that crazy, to be against gay marriage".

 

Just like people have looked back and thought..........can you believe people were that crazy to be against interracial marriage?

[Jeremy]

I don't think people are going to be looking back and saying that in 20 years.

[careless hal]

I am also against interracial gay marriage .Now if same sex couples want to live together and make whoopee on the kitchen table, go ahead.  I don't care what they do behind closed doors. But, I do and always have defined marriage as between a man and a woman.  I am not changing that no matter how many names I get called or if you stick a gun to my head and threaten to kill me.

Conservatives are always shouting about state's rights. Well, marriage is controlled by the states. Same sex marriage is legal in five Northeastern states, Iowa and Washington D.C. The people in those states--or their elected representatives--have decided it's OK. End of story. If it upsets someone, they can move to Illinois.

What is your point.?  I never said states didn't have the right to implement it.  I just think it sucks.  There are a lot of things that are"legal" that I don't agree with.,  I guess totalitarians don't get that.

[Jeremy]

If gay marriage debates start to end up becoming an attack or negative against Christians I will become one of the biggest anti gay marriage people you will ever meet.

When people that are for gay marriage were mean and talked down to workers at Chik Fil A, my mind has already started to turn.  You shouldn't get what you want by being assholes to innocent people.

When it appeared to me that only $2000 out of millions went to anti gay groups, and the others were considered anti gay, including a Christian youth sports group, my opinion started to change.

So no, in 20 years people won't be looking back and saying how could people be against gay marriage, they will be thinking you know if they weren't so hostile towards me and my beliefs, I wouldn't have much of a problem with it.

[Just Saying]

Well, being into gun sports my entire life, with a gun to my head I would agree to anything, no matter how much I had to lie!

I don't believe in gay marriage either, but that's my choice. No need to fight over it.

Hal: "Gay marriage sucks" is just funny. 

[Elgin]

When you live in a state where it's legal and commonplace, you get used to it pretty quickly. Lots of these marriages take place in public spaces--garden style parks--and it's no big deal, around here, anyway.

Then again, all the states (plus D.C.) that sanction same-sex marriage went big for Obama in the last election, and will do so again this time. Maybe that's just a coincidence.

It just goes to prove that no one, even Obama, is wrong all of the time!

I guess I will just never understand how anyone can be so against something that has zero effect on their life.  Who are gays hurting by getting married?  Absolutely no one is the answer.  Who are they offending - the hundred million or so people who are divorced?

If gay marriage debates start to end up becoming an attack or negative against Christians I will become one of the biggest anti gay marriage people you will ever meet.

An attack against Christians?  All Christians?  Including the gay Christians?  Are you going to let a few morons control your thinking?

Where would Jews be if we decided to hate every Christian because some were KKK members.  We don't hate all Germans & some of them are still Nazi supporters.  Israelis live among Muslims despite the terrorism that is always threatening the State.  Do we feel hatred towards those individuals, yes, of course but not towards their race or religion.

How can you be so sure that in 20 years...?  I'm basing my opinion on past performances - woman's rights, civil rights among blacks...

[Jeremy]

a few morons dont control my opinion, but when the rest of the group is silent that in my mind is the same as approving

[Dolfan]

Well then let me be the first to say that there is nothing & should be nothing said or intimated against ANY religion for this or any other purpose.  Being gay is not a choice for the large majority of gays who like straights, have many different religious beliefs.

  Live & let live.

I think Mitt's basic instinct is to push for small government and lower taxes, and to butt out of personal social issues. If he could run on that premise he'd probably win. But as the Republican nominee he automatically gets bogged down in the debate over stem cell research and dozens of other issues that he wants no part of. Most of the Wall Street people are fiscal conservatives and social moderates; they believe it's nutso to tell scientists to forgo potentially life saving stem cell research because that stem cell represents a human life. The gap between the fiscal conservatives and the religious loonies is too great for Romney to bridge. That's why he's gonna lose.

[Just Saying]

The argument wasn't about stem cells; it was about embryonic stem cells. All of the successful work from stem cells was from adult stem cells. But it gets convoluted when the parties pitch it their own way.

I will really be surprised if Obama doesn't get beat. We'll find out in November.

Hopefully we won't have to worry about the embryonic stem cells anymore.

Much of the abomination of homosexuality discussed in Leviticus can be refuted in other areas of the Bible. (especially the New Testament)...........face it, sodomy and fellatio are sins......whether practiced among homo or heterosexuals........yet the government is not denying the right of marriage to a man and woman who engage in these offenses?

If the church chooses to not recognize gay marriage, then so be it........but for the government of any state to not allow equal rights among all committed couples, then I have a problem with it.

Jeremy.......I feel the same way you do about Chick-Fil-A when it comes to radicals blowing up abortion clinics........I am highly conservative on my opinions on abortion but in no way shape or form condone killing others to advance my opinion.......and get rather offended when Christians are all pegged as such.
