It's a waste of your time to address that guy.
I don't quite get this, in the context of O'Reilly's being pro-abortion (which someone disputed above, but I don't know, because as you know, we don't have cable).
In my opinion, a man who can be pro-abortion, when he's seen his own babies, is barely human.
Considering the polygamy issue has been brought up by the Mormons, who are heterosexuals, that is a strawman arguement.
I don't even know what 'polyandry' is, or even if it is a word. How you can compare savage beasts too two consenting, intelligent adults is beyond me. And I don't even know what you got the idea of marriage to 'inanimate objects' from.
I don't think that he personally believes in abortion as a choice that he would ever make for his own family, but he may believe that reasonable people might disagree on such points as when life begins, etc. Frankly, I think that he is mushy on this, although somewhat on the right side of mushy.
Meant to include you earlier. Powerful stuff from TR...
Pish-tosh! (And I know you're describing another person's beliefs, not your own, so that's not aimed at you personally :-)
"Reasonable people" of that type might decide their convenience or economic interest or whatever justifies the death of an unborn child ... but there's no scientific question that a unique human person exists from the moment of conception. And people who pretend otherwise are being disingenuous.
What rights are Homosexuals denied?
I asked first for positive reasons to the marriage amendment. All I have gotten so far is strawman arguements and silence.
Amy Nicholls, from Mansfield, Louisiana: "Mr. O'Reilly, I am extremely disappointed that you referred to the fetus as 'a potential human being.' They are in fact already human."
O'Reilly: "Ms. Nicholls, I respect your BELIEF, but that is not how the SUPREME COURT does it, and I have to deal with the law here. The abortion discussion will never be advanced until people find common ground. I used the term 'potential human being' BECAUSE THAT IS INDISPUTABLE. I hope you understand what I'm trying to do here."
He's always been alone as far as I'm concerned...another a-lone talking head with a big fat wet finger in the wind.

James is 9 months old today. The difference between James today and James at birth is the result of time and food. The difference between James at birth and James at conception is the result of time and food. End of argument, for *reasonable* people.
People whose reason is clouded by free-sex ideology are a different story.
Ya gotta start somewhere, dont'cha?
I have updated my FMCDH (From My Cold Dead Hands) sign-off with the addition of (BITS).....Blood In The Streets, which I foresee coming soon, due to the enormous increase of the Marxist progressive movement being shoved down the throat of this failing REPUBLIC through the Judicial tyranny of fiat law, the passing of unconstitutional laws by the Legislative and Executive branches of our government and the enormous tax burden placed upon the average American to support unconstitutional programs put forth by Marxist ideology.

The government doesn't belong in the legislation of human relationships. The only justification for government involvement in marriage was for the protection of children. Making marriage a special, coveted institution benefits society as a whole.
Marriage ensures, in 99.9% of the cases, that two parents, who are blood relatives, are mutually committed to the care and nuturing of their progeny.
Agreed, however there are still well meaning people who see disingenuousness as a tool that can be used positively to diffuse conflict in order to allow constructive engagement and ultimately allow reason to filter through. Like you, I don't buy it, but I'm convinced that the Bill O'Reillys of the world may!
The IRS is not run by an army of social militants intent on destroying the fabric of society.
I agree that government intrusion is a serious problem, but most of these intrusions are a direct result of rules legislated by SCOTUS.
Welcome to the Judicial Oligarchy of America!
So, given that, as you say, there is a written agenda to which all the arms of Marxism subscribe, why do you suppose the Homosexual Mafia was the easiest group to activate?
I don't know whether to laugh or cry at your statement. But I will tell you this, the IRS has been the MOST TYRANNICAL tool the socialists have used in this nation to destroy this society and our freedoms.
The federal income tax code is written to be a catch-22 to where it is impossible to follow all the regulations and where if one regualtion does not work, the socialists can use the opposing regulation to destroy and imprison their enemies, E.I. us.
People who have a position that approximates their agenda that disguises their position that distances their beliefs confuse me. Now I have a headache, and I'll have to go watch a John Wayne movie to clear my mind.
It's not the first time I've considered that other people are better suited to realpolitik, while I should limit my efforts to reproduction ...
I haven't come up with an answer for that. Do you have any ideas?
