My only regret about Mary Cheney's pregnancy is that it didn't happen earlier -- say, during the 2004 presidential race, when Cheney was working for her father's campaign and his running mate was busy trying to write discrimination against people like her into the Constitution.
Imagine a hugely pregnant Mary Cheney sitting in the vice president's box at the convention. Imagine Cheney and her partner, Heather Poe, cuddling their newborn onstage at the victory celebration.
How perfectly that would have illustrated the clanging disconnect between the Republican Party's outmoded intolerance and the benign reality of gay families today.

One small correction: prove yourself to be an obsessive nut.

Good point. I hope that they are as happy as they can be about this circumstance.
But it is a pro-Freedom site which you obviously haven't noticed.
This doesn't cost you a dime. No government funds are involved. No public policy is being legislated.
Therefore it's not really any of your business.
If you want to go into mourning and where a black armband feel free. In fact I recommend it. It'll make it easier for the rest of us to spot an approaching nut job.
Have a wonderful day.

Details please, and backgrounds of the sources also.
Why don't you fill everyone in on that since you bring up the subject.
;-)
The argument is akin to saying that because mules can't breed they can't be bred.
It's foolishness.
The human genome hasn't been fully mapped, let alone fully studied. It's entirely possible it's genetic. It's also entirely possible it's not. It's also entirely possible that it's partly genetic and partly upbringing.
No one really knows. Any one who says they do is a fool or a liar.

I would think the cost would go up across the board - not on an individual basis. The likelihood of AIDS would definitely raise the red flag. In this "politically correct" world, the insurance carrier would probably raise the overall premium for the company's coverage. Each employee would be treated (charged) equally.You wouldn't single out the high- risk ones.
Grab yourself a sign, put on a black armband, and march around in front of the Cheney household. I'm sure some members of the Westboro Baptist Church would love to help you out with that.
Feel free to make yourself look like the pathetic hate filled little busybody you seem to be. It's no skin off my nose.
And please explain just how exactly you're 'defending' a traditional family by spouting this foppish nonsense? If you'll look closely at the clip you posted, this site opposes 'government enforced... homosexualism'.
Please explain to me how this is an example of the government enforcing homosexuality. I'd be fascinated to read your answer to that.
This is two consenting adults engaging in behavior that, if they weren't related to famous people, you would never have heard of.
But you want the Vice President and his wife to put on sack cloth and ashes over it apparently.
Well best of luck with the mourning period. I'd recommend a good hot shower after hanging with the Phelps crowd.

Of course you will Senator Clinton.

I honestly believe it's more due to some sort of traumatic disorder. Particularly when it comes to male homosexuals.
Obsessive compulsive behavior inclined towards frequent sexual encounters with multiple anonymous partners in public facilities? Bug chasers? Tendencies towards pedophilia?
I don't think it serves society to redefine a psychosis so that is conveniently fits into one's social structure.
I'm convinced it's the way an individual is programmed as derived from life experiences, in many cases potential traumatic experiences. Rape or molestation being a possible trigger for the given psychosis leading to the evolution of homosexual tendencies. It can be treated, and we have well known documented evidence it can be cured and that people can be rehabilitated into normal society.
My conclusions are based on documented studies readily available from several organizations. You can simply google them for personal reference.
I should point out that "Down Syndrome" is a condition that one is born with, so I do concede your point that people can be born with the "condition" that makes them prone to said behavior, but I must submit that the behavior is taught to those inclined to act in that manner.
Want them to go away? Certainly not. Want to help and cure them? As many as we can help, absolutely.
I'm sorry, but I can never accept their behavior as normal, except with respect to viewing it as a potentially curable infliction.
In that same breath, I know we can't cure Downe's Syndrome, either. Very sad.
And yes, I know gay people and have a gay relative. I've also worked in the art industry and if anyone here has done that you know what I am inferring to. This doesn't change my thinking towards my statements at all.
I have to go out, but I'll check up later on our friendly debate. Cheers! : )
I would sometimes think to disagree on that. I think we are killing ourselves with "our nature".
Let me ask, why has "mankind" pushed forward through time to create weapons, biological and otherwise, that most likely will erase us from the planet, and will most likely do it sometime very soon?
Or, do you wish to blame it on God for giving us that dastardly "free will"?
Answers?
"the benign reality of gay families today."
Yeah, that one leapt off the page at me, too. Subtle as a brick?
Money is the root of all evil.
Money isn't evil, but putting it before God's statutes is.
The Vice President is going to have a grandchild
I see your point.
Let me also tell you one thing about our culture that had me a little sickened recently.
On Thanksgiving Day, supposedly one of the "great conservative spokesmen", Rush Limbaugh, had his radio show on at the same time as usual here in my city, Pittsburgh. The VERY FIRST story he chose to put on that Thanksgiving Day Show ( a rather spiritual day if you ask me) was a story about a guy on a farm somewhere who dragged a LAMB into a barn and raped it. Rush thought it was funny. He even included a detail of a stick with a mirror on it that the rapist used to see if the lamb was smiling. It was pathetic.
Our society and some conservatives here who hold that self-adulating, sanctimonious blowhard up as a hero baffle me. To me he's just another symptom of just how "anesthetized our culture" really is.
When people like Rush Limbaugh are held up as heroes by some "conservatives" in this society, we are for sure dying.
Republican lesbians having kids = Nobody's business.
Democrat lesbians having kids = Everyone pile on.

I believe because there's nothing 'governmental' involved in it that it's none of my business.
I'm one of those 'small government' types after all.
