S.E. Cupp tearfully begs GOP to accept marriage equality
Salon ^ | June 26, 2015 | Jenny Kutner

The conservative pundit tells CNN Republicans will become "relics" if they don't evolve on same-sex marriage.

Conservative pundit S.E. Cupp got emotional on CNN Friday afternoon in the wake of the Supreme Court’s ruling on marriage equality, which she urged the Republican party to accept. Tears welling, lip quivering and all, Cupp — a longtime supporter of same-sex marriage, though not always for the most progressive reasons — begged the GOP to evolve on the issue, lest conservatives begin to be viewed as “relics.”

“Those people there are not pariahs, they’re patriots,” Cupp said of same-sex couples. ”And wherever you stand on the politics of this issue … it’s hard not to see these people as just wanting the human dignity that the rest of us have when it comes to death benefits, hospital visitation or child custody.”

The commentator also told host Wolf Blitzer that the issue is one of basic morality, not of politics. And when pressed on conservatives’ continuing objections to the Supreme Court’s decision, Cupp explained that it’s long past time for the GOP to join the 21st Century.

“This is America,” Cupp said. “Those people are Americans, and that is our future. And so for my party, which I deeply deeply love — my party really has to reconcile the fact that we are going to become relics if we don’t get to where these people are.”

Watch Cupp’s emotional plea below:

Would she so tearfully beg CAIR or US Muslims to accept Israeli sovereignty? Would she beg NARAL to accept right-to-lifers? There are dozens and dozens of other similar lines. Would she “beg” for them with the same tears?

Don’t hold you breath. She’s not a conservative; she’s just CNN’s pitiful rendition of one.

All she has to do to convert me is convince me that the human anus was designed for sex instead of something else.

Thankfully I am not a Republican nor a Democrat. I am an American. I am a Christian. Marriage is between a man and a women. Nothing a bunch of idiots in blacks robes say can change that. If following the Word of God makes me a relic, I will cherish that designation.

Like when John McCain called Ted Cruz a whacko bird. He embraced it.

S.E. Cupp...what a psycho, is she stalking Megan McCain? What civilization has sanctioned gay marriage in the last 5000 years? Though there might be some wacked out tribal pagans that elevate gay sex and gay marriage.

I have never heard of this person. Is she a “conservative” in the Scarborough mold?

Unless you don’t watch any TV, you’ve seen her. She’s what passes for a cardboard cutout conservative for the media, like David Brooks, Joe Scarborough, Meghan McCain, Greg Gutfeld or Glenn Beck.

I find it amusing how many of the people screaming for lesser evil on FR across all these threads are for some reason, upset with the lesser evils they demanded backing this insanity or going silent on the issue.

And how personally upset they are about the 2 supreme rulings their choices refuse to deal with. It IS a lesser evil afterall. Bummer.

There’s the problem. I threw out my TV in ‘88 and haven’t “looked back.” My kids grew up without and haven’t seen fit to rectify the lack in their own households.

death benefits, hospital visitation or child custody

Are there any laws in any state which forbid a) wills and insurance policies with designated beneficiaries; b) patients in hospitals specifying who may visit; or c) that prevent child custody agreements, provided that the contesting parties are agreed?

No, there are not.

Gay marriage now having the SCOTUS Federale Stamp of approval will now allow the gays to plunder the Social Security system via genuine and sham marriages.

Some upper class old homo can marry a 23 year old boy. When the old dude dies the young boytoy partner gets survivor benefits courtesy of you

The Right Party in Greece, not the Fascists of Golden Dawn, called the “Independent Greeks” are part of the Leftist led government now trying to defy the corporate, banking and business elites of the EU.

The Defense Minister of Greece in a government led by the Leftist Prime Minister is a conservative “Independent Greeks” party member.

Defying the corporate-banking elites that are shoving all this stuff down our throats for their own benefit from Obamacare to Amnesty to Gay Marriage is possible considering they have enemies that united would give them a fight.

She’s not a conservative but she is a self centered lesbian.

Married to a man?

She calls herself a log cabin republican and says that she doesn’t like to be admired by a man.

Fake conservative S.E. Cupp trashes Rush Limbaugh again
Mofopolitics ^ | Feb. 19, 2013

On urging the GOP to embrace gay marriage…
“For Log Cabin Republicans like myself, the GOProud crowd, there are people who have already reconciled — within the party — gay marriage.”

On men checking her out…
“Disgusted... It’s, yeah, disgusting. That doesn’t do anything for me. That doesn’t excite me...Eww! It gives me the creeps. I don’t enjoy it at all. There’s not a single ounce of enjoyment that I get from that.”

Same sex marriage is a post-WWII socialist construct.

Even Indian tribes are against it today (challenging the view that theirs was a culture tolerant of same sex family pairings).

“”www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/marriage
Full Definition of MARRIAGE 1 a (1) : the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship ...””

Wonder when the definition of marriage will be changed in dictionaries....

“”Are there any laws in any state which forbid a) wills and insurance policies with designated beneficiaries; b) patients in hospitals specifying who may visit; or c) that prevent child custody agreements, provided that the contesting parties are agreed? No, there are not.””

I’ve always maintained those were bogus claims as none were prohibited and yet no one ever stood up to counter these claims.

Pretty soon, we are going to have people who have never served in the military DEMANDING veteran benefits and people not eligible for Social Security, demanding benefits and on and on. There are people in this country who just can’t be disqualified from ANYTHING! Just wait...what other people have earned is now going to become a right to those who didn’t earn it. Like our money is RIGHT NOW!
