Rare.US blog ^ | June 26, 2013

Choices:

No. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Period.

Yes. It’s a freedom and equality issue. Washington shouldn’t have the power to say what couples can and cannot get married.

Somewhat. The federal government shouldn’t be involved at all. Leave it to the states to decide these things.

It doesn’t matter. Marriage is a dead institution anyway.

So now we see one of the main reasons Obamacare was rammed (no pun intended) through.

This was one of the main factors surrounding the fall of the Roman Empire. We have repeated history. funny how progressives always repeat history, like they have never learned.

Come Lord Jesus Come. Heed the prays of Your people who seek Your face and honor your commandments. We cry out to You to heal our land.

I could honestly care less. I don’t agree with the descision at all, but I’m not goingto whine about it from behind a keyboard. When society allows morality to be dictated to them by their corrupt elected officials, that society deserves nothing.

What reality are you from? Revere is revered. Arnold is not.

Historical reality.

He was charged with treason after the Penobscot Expedition (which failed), and the pay chest ‘mysteriously disappeared’ and his craven actions in delaying the seige for sufficient time to allow the British to reinforce their garrison.

Arnold on the other hand, nearly took Quebec himself, succeeded on the raid and was abandoned by the Colonials. He was a hell of a general and poorly regarded by the Colonial government. He took substantial personal financial risks to arm the colonials and was never repaid for his losses by the quartermasters. So the man was ruined.

Until he turned to the British, it was he, and not Revere that was considered to be the hero.

Revere never had any monuments until after that poem written in the Victorian era by one of his descendents who sought to elevate his family. It’s complete hokum.

States have the right to determine marriage, but doesn’t the Federal government have the right to determine who gets Federal benefits?

Have you considered the possibility that they did learn history?

“Revere was a traitor, an English spy, caught then and later betrayed the Revolution.”

Utter nonsense.

If he was such a hero, why don’t we see commendations from his commanding officers?

I will not venture to guess what you have or have not seen or why.
