Bush: happy for Cheney's gay daughter pregnancy
Reuters ^ | 12/15/06

Posted on 12/16/2006 11:22:33 AM PST by Blackirish

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney's pregnant lesbian daughter Mary will make a "fine mom," President George W. Bush said, sidestepping his past comment that a child ideally would be raised by a mother and father.

Mary Cheney, 37, and her longtime partner, Heather Poe, are expecting their first child, which would be the sixth grandchild for the vice president. Cheney was hired last year as an executive for America Online.

"I think Mary is going to be a loving soul to her child. And I'm happy for her," Bush said in an interview with People magazine.

It seems to me that those who shout about *moral absolutes* are generally those who *absolutely* want to dictate to others what their *morals* should be.

Exactly so.

"It is conservative to *live and let live*. "


From post #160

"Live and let live" ends when high profile people start rubbing their abominations in your face.

Isn't this why Christ had Mary Magdalene stoned? He knew how to treat those sinners.

I am not a Christian...

These two women are perverts engaging in a heterosexual fetish of having a child...

The poster of the article is a liberal and is only here on FreeRepublic to throw sh*t at the Christians...

If homosexuals, some thirty-odd years ago, had decided to "live and let live", there would be no "gay" agenda, and we would have nothing to say about it.

And I'd be happy with that!

"I'm happy for her" is ebullient praise?

He said more than that: "I think Mary is going to be a loving soul to her child. And I'm happy for her...a great mom, etc". Far more than needed to be said, unless he is wholeheartedly in support of such arrangements.

Unlike the Christian love, forgiveness and charity being thrown at the two "perverts"? Step on up to the front of the line and pick your stones.

Maybe you should be more careful of where your face is hanging out? :-)

"this issue is not about gay marriage, and its not about gay adoption either."

Hogwash. This is about a high profile, lesbian and her "partner" and their attempt to have a child together.


"this story is simply about a woman who wants to have a baby."

Wrong again!!! It about Mary, Heather and THEIR baby. Please READ the article "Mary Cheney, 37, and her longtime partner, Heather Poe, are expecting their first child,"


"what exactly do you want to do about the fact that she wants to have a baby? abort it?"

The baby is innocent. What an utterly foolish question.



"you know, a good home with two loving religious parents, like Andrea Yates had."

Oh, yea! since we can find a few crazy mothers, let's redefine a 5,000+ year old tradition and cornerstone of society. Welcome to the Moral Equivalence Club.

SS and some others gravitate to homosexual agenda threads so they can push their promotion of homosexuality, call people like us "Taliban" and Nazis, prudes and homophobes.

Love is all there is - de de dedede, Love is all there is... etc. Love makes a family, Hate is not a family value....

I've seen all those bumper stickers in Eugene.

The fact is that the homosexual agenda is leftist, pursues domination, rejects traditional morality in every sense of the word, and is part of the platform of leftists since there were leftists. A chaotic citizenry (which will happen - is happening - the more the natural family is destroyed) - is an easy group of people to dominate. A citizenry in chaos will welcome a benevolent dictator who will fix everything.

Funny that those who support the homosexual agenda here on FR don't see this...or maybe they do?

You know we're supposed to ping the posters we talk about.

I disagree with your description of the poster. Blackirish is a GOOD FReeper and a friend of mine.

smile - I wonder what moral absolutists think should happen to divorcees like Newt Gingrich or Ronald Reagan? :-)

50 lashes? :-)

Perhaps, knowing Mary, this is truly what he thinks?

No it isn't. You are just tossing out the same tired old homosexual activist arguments in an effort to trip people up -- to distract everyone from obvious truths. Reality is not on your side. This isn't about interpreting the Bible. It's about social structure and human civilization.

Anyone can play the all-or-nothing or the let-me-redefine-you game. That's just silly. No one has suggested we impose all of the old Jewish law on Americans. That doesn't mean it has no moral truth to offer civilization. Are you suggesting we impose all the ideas of every secular humanist or radical philosopher just so long as he had no belief in the Bible?

I remember just a few short years ago when the argument was, "What two people do in the privacy of their own bedroom is nobody else's business." Well now it appears to be the business of one small child. It will be the business of the government as to law and benefits....birth certificate, taxes, custody, etc.... and education of everyone else's children who will go to school with this child. They don't live on a deserted island. Some things are mutually exclusive. As a society we cannot embrace vastly contradictory social structures at the same time. One will win out over the other. Two opposite things cannot be true at the same time and two contrary values cannot be embraced at the same time. Basic logic. That's why people like you are attacking the moral values crowd. That's why you are making goofy, unfounded charges/questions/statements like you did above. You want to turn things upside-down, reverse the order of right and wrong. What you will never ever escape is the reality of human life -- we are all a walking testimony to the normalcy of heterosexuality. You can use the force of government to force a denial of reality, but it won't alter reality. Ideas have consequences and the consequences of this denial of reality will keep on giving its destructive gifts. But let the record show it is your side imposing on all. What the public thinks is clear -- and has been clear for thousands of years. And why not? It is the way of nature according to the laws of nature, so no shock that it is in line with the laws of nature's God.

Don't forget, Newt wasn't just divorced, twice, he was an admitted adulterer.

Branding iron time for him, we'll stone the whore temptresses.

I have already told him so directly a number of times... and, you'll go crying like him to the moderators if someone posts to you the same thing more than once...

There is no politically correct Gestapo here on FreeRepublic, no matter how much you wish there was...
