Unless we fight back by countering those ridiculous assumptions and arguments
NO ONE thinks about 'marriage' as an institution ... no one.
Marriage is a license to have sex, and I don't give a rat's ass for whatever lengthy essay one might pen or point me to.
When I married, I wanted legal sex with that girl.
The love part is/was just a (true) vehicle to KEEP that relationship from being scandalous and confrontational.
Indeed .. the morning we came back to church after our honeymoon, older and wiser folks recognized a deep satisfaction we could't hide if we wanted to.
Same sex 'marriage' is a ruse to cover for SEX with a member of the same sex ... and GOD calls that abomination.
Forget the visitation rights, and insurance clauses and all the rest of that mumbo jumbo ... God condemns same sex sex.
THAT ends it for me.
-- L.P. Hartley in the book "The Go-Between"
I think that G.W. axe joke was the saturday night live juggler’s.
Maybe they would be better defenders of the End Zone.............
There are two sides of this. First, you have the people intelligent enough to know better, who still choose to make those comparisons because they know how politically effective they will be. Then, you have the uncritical thinkers who just swallow the hyperboles without gagging and repeat it ad nauseum. I think, if America weren’t so awash in the latter, the former would find no advantage in this strategy.
