I'm Glad O'Reilly Is Around For this Important Issue

O'Reilly haters may not like this post and I'll be the first to omit that O'Reilly has a huge ego and is full of himself and I can only take so much of him but.....

I'm glad he is around during this time of the gay marriages in San Francisco issue.

Living in California there are almost leaders speaking out strongly against it. The Govenator has been a 98 pound weakling on the issue, the Attorney General must be in on it, Pres Bush is "troubled."

Every day the local S.F. Bay Area the T.V.news shows "happy stories" of more and more happy "couples" flaunting the law getting married.

For everyone living outside California, don't feel to smug, this will spread unless people rise up everywhere to challenge it.

So at least it's nice to hear someone, even if it is O'Reilly hammer on this issue almost every night that this culture war and gay marriage issue could destroy one of the strongest foundations of our country by diluting the institution of marriage and the family.

I know, I know, with 50% divorce rate it's not that stable, but just imagine how stable and well adjusted future children will be being raised in our country if marriage becomes defined as 2 men, 2 women, 3 men 1 women, 3 women and one man, a man and his dog, 2 women and duck, etc.

So while I still can't sit through an entire O'Reilly show thanks to him for keeping this issue on the forefront and continuing to point out all the cowardly politicians in hiding.

This gay marriage thing is gonna cost the Democrats, big time. republicans are clear on this issue, but this is not a Bush problem as O'Reilly would like to think it is. President Bush has done more to fight this culture war than some will give him credit for.

So, why don't you get a group of conservatives to go to the SF city hall with your pets, lamps, grandmothers and favorite blankets and demand marriage licenses also? If enough people showed up trying to "marry" their "life partners" of different absurd extremes, maybe the officials would begin to see the problem.

O'Reilly's opening monologue (Talking Points) is worth watching even if you don't like the rest of the show.

You're right. Think of how many of us wanted GWB to bomb the entire Mideast after 9-11. But GWB waited until the right moment. O'Reilly needs to calm down and realize it does take time to formulate a strategy- a winning one to say the least. In the meantime, I do believe that state officials MUST enforce existing laws, meaning Gov. Arnold needs to step up to the plate. This outright move toward anarchy will dismantle this country.

O'Reilly is right that if this activist movement isn't stopped, the America we know and remember will be gone forever in five years.

Have to give O'Reilly credit here. He has been banging this issue harder than most conservatives. O'Reilly is a populists, but at least he stands up for his views. Too many politicians are MIA, but we kind of expected that from Arnold.

To really give 'em a slap of reality, I suggest going down to SF City Hall and lighting up a Marlboro....since laws are now apparently a non-starter up there.

I agree, that would draw attention to how condoning and licensing Gay Marriage could destroy our institutions and the moral fiber of this nation

A lady called in to Rush today with an idea I thought was pretty good. Rush didn't quite get it, but anyway, her idea was for conservative mayors across the country to start skirting abortion laws and shutting down abortion clinics, Planned Parenthood, etc. Wouldn't that cause a hullabaloo if even one did that!

If GWB is taking his time wanting to do the right thing on this issue, then great!

But after the illegal alien plan, medicare, increased funding for the NEA, etc. it makes you wonder if his relative silence on this is a careful plan to oppose it or trying to appeal to "the middle."

I sure hope not.

We need strong leaders and the president can be a force in rallying the country against our foreign enemies AND cultural enemies from within. In fact it could be one of the issues that bring people out to vote for him if he'll take a strong stand.

I don't think this should be addressed by an ammendment to the Constitution. Simply use the "Defense of Marriage Act" as a wedge to the States. Tell tham if they ignore the Defense of Marriage Act, they will no longer recieve federal funds for law enforcement and Highway funds

It took the A.G. of N.M. less than a day to shut down same-sex licenses in that state. Maybe Bush has to take his time to do it right, but Arnold should've been there from the start and his words should have been more forthright.

Hey jwalburg

Great idea. My wife says I love my computer anyway. Of course I wish it was a laptop so we could spend more time together away from home :-)

I live in the bay area and I actually am thinking about taking my cat with me to get married, and if they refuse claim discrimination. I kinda scared though, that as nutty as some are around here, they'll let me.
