I can't believe you think moveon.org is a communist/fascist site, and yet Freerepublic is somehow balanced.

Moveon.org is a communist/fascist site. FreeRepublic is more balanced, but still an openly and avowed conservative website.

I am scared at where political discourse in this country is going.....people ONLY want media that espouses their own beliefs, media that doesn't challenge their beliefs.

People are tired of being lied to, and have been scared at where the media discourse had been going for decades. People on FR challenge each others beliefs every day, but from a pro-American, conservative viewpoint. Thinking with your head, your heart, and your conscience will tend to narrow the field of discourse a bit, but that's the price you pay for being a responsible adult.

As for gays who claim to make a choice.......you clearly don't understand sexuality, and are eager to lap up only those answers that support the way you view things. Many so-called gay and lesbian people are really bisexual.....

Now, into the meat. What purpose do you have in stating this in reference to an article about gay marriage? You can break out your DSMV-IV and recite all day how homosexuality is normal in humans, but what does that have to do with the societal concept of marriage?

I ask because marrige is a concept that revolves around children, and homosexuality is one that revolves around pleasure. The similarities are superficial, at best.

If you don't think people are lied to by conservatives then you may be the one with your head in the sand. Conservatives don't have a monopoly on being able to think "with your head, your heart, and your conscience".

I truly do understand why people have been worried about the state of political discourse, especially when it comes to a liberal viewpoint being conveyed in popular media for so long, but rather than realize things are changing in the mainstream media, all of America is becoming more polarized, and would rather listen to those people that espouse their own beliefs. This is bad. How can you really challenge each other if you are coming from such a similar viewpoint?????? Being pro-american, does not mean being so far to the right you can't see the rest of the people anymore. Liberals vote, pay taxes and are as much a part of this country as anyone else........their viewpoint should be heard rather than filtered through so many conservative commentators like Ann Coulter or Rush Limbaugh.
