No, but you still refuse to argue the issue rationally - instead you accuse me of all manner of libel and evil, so I’ll return the favor.

Apparently, you are one of those people who speak out of both sides of your mouth. Who will jettison principles when they become inconvenient. That is called lacking the courage of your convictions.

I have tried unsuccessfully several times to rationally discuss one question here and have been continually sidetracked with canards, accusations, libel, appeals to emotion, straw men, and invective worth of DU.

The question about homosexual parters is 100% accurate, not sophistry. What is sophistry is your position that what is best for the child is to be anywhere but where she was.

It is also a logic trap because that means that she would INDEED be better off being raised by two homosexual men or Rosie than in a 3rd world orphanage.

Your position is untenable in the same way that pro-homo marriage advocates arguments are when they ignore questions on polygamy, child marriage, and bestiality. They just say “that’s not the same thing” when it clearly is the extension of their logic.

So, AGAIN, I’ll ask the question(s). How is Laura not being a hypocrite based on what SHE has said about the absolute superiority of traditional families? How is this NOT denigrating the role of fatherhood?

If SOMEONE would stick to the questions instead of spewing the bile, accusation, and canards, we might actually be able to have a discussion instead of an emotional tirade worthy of a lib site. I don’t like it, as I’m sure most don’t.

I’m not sure how much is known about international adoption, but couples are not standing in line to adopt three year old girls from third world orphanages. They just aren’t. They want infants. They want children who haven’t been traumatized by institutionalization.

In my opinion Ingraham was speaking about the ideal situation, which is the traditional nuclear family. Even those who have adopted recognize that the ideal for children is a happy and loving traditional birth family—so the child is already not getting the ideal just by reason of being adopted—never mind that they aren’t being clamored over by couples who could offer them a home.

I think we should come together and promote adoption (as our government has started with the adoption tax credit) and encourage couples to open up their homes to the many many children who need homes.
