but we certainly never expected him to say “gay couples raising kids” is “the American way.”

Because he didn't. He said the freedom to do so is American, and he's right.

I agree SteveMcKing. Running two separate sentences together is making news. Stating what was said, two separate sentences, is reporting the news. "That’s the American way, to have people have their freedom of choice,” is what he said.

Doing it the reporters way "gay couples raising kids" the reporter needs to report every thing that was said to include "single moms raising kids is the American way" and "grandparents raising kids is the American way." Let's report it all if we decide to run together what he said.

” Because he didn’t. He said the freedom to do so is American, and he’s right.”

What he said was...

““There are other ways to raise kids that’s fine: single moms, grandparents raising kids, gay couples raising kids. That’s the American way, to have people have their freedom of choice,” he said.”

And it’s not fine... None of them are “fine”. Is it that you can’t read, or can’t you understand?

No it’s not.

The children of gay parents are much more likely to be promiscuous in an effort to PROVE they are not gay, which opens them up to VD and pregnancy and heartache.

There’s nothing “American” about conferring legitimacy on an emotional sickness, and forcing CHILDREN to provide cover with their very lives.

Don’t you care about the children?

[JRochelle]

He said its fine to raise kids like that.

American way yes, we do have freedoms to do that. BUt its not fine!

Its immoral.

[Politicalmom]

I guess the children don’t get freedom of choice, though.

Lovely.

All this focus on freedom of choice for the individual ignores the need boys have for fathers.
