Glad to see we are discussing the TRULY important issues of the day, and not bothering to discuss those small and petty issues like terror, health care, the economy, and so forth.

What a festering pile of CRAP this amendment is!

What a festering pile of CRAP this amendment is!.....if it truely is crap, then it will fade away, like the Flag Burning Crappy amendment - but this is different, and it takes a certain intuition to tell the difference between "crap" and Shinola , and you don't have that intuition

Let me see, at least the last time I looked the economy was booming (thanks to W), WOT is actually being waged not left to the French and the UN (thanks to W) and health care has been saved out of the jaws of the Hildebeast...(sigh, of course it depends on WHERE you are from I suppose.)

You hop into a thread title Defense of Marriage Amendment and throw stones because it's not a discussion of other issues?

Having a trouble focusing????

[trebb]

Actually, the CRAP part is that so many have let society degenerate to the point that we even need to consider such an amendment. NAMBLA members love people with your attitude; it puts them that much closer to being able to rape young boys with impunity...

The family IS the foundation of our civilization. I can think of nothing more important to bring to the national debate. And yes, resolved - it deserves to be protected in our Constitution and laws. In the meantime, go back whither thou comest, DU troll!

If you feel that way, why did you bother to post to the thread?

"What a festering pile of CRAP this amendment is!"

I disagree. I believe we need to start strengthening marriage since it is the foundation on which society is built.

Ah, but since you think this is a topic not worth spending time on, I'm sure you won't be responding to this post. You have more important things to do.

When the very foundation of our societal structure is degraded, I can think of no more important piece of legislation to get in place ASAP.
When our founding fathers used the phrase, "we hold these truths to be self-evident", never in their wildest dreams were they imagining the depths of depravity that we would be debating as "rights" less than 250 years later.

Last time I looked, the vast majority of the country didn't agree with you regarding gay "marriage". Now, why not run along and join you buds at DU.

I would agree that a federal amendment is not required if it weren't for the fact that if only one state allowed homosexual marriage, it would then force ALL states to recognize it. However, we both know that gays will be traveling to that state in droves, getting "married" and then going back home to initiate ACLU backed court action to force their own state to recognize that their marriage certificate must be accepted. After all, can you imagine the legal mess if some states recognized divorce while others did not? That's why if you want to stop the gay marriage express, it has to be a federal amendment.

I would say it is of UTMOST IMPORTANCE myself. The future foundation of this country DEPENDS on this very issue!! We will ROT from within if this doesn't pass!!!!!! no need for terrorists to strike!! We will have destroyed our OWN SELVES!!!!!!!!
