Mary Cheney gave birth today to perhaps the most anticipated baby in contemporary U.S. politics -- her first child, Samuel David Cheney, whom she will raise with her longtime partner Heather Poe.

The 8-pound, 6-ounce boy is the sixth grandchild for Dick Cheney.

Hypothetical: A single woman adopts, from a Russian orphanage, a male 3-year-old confined to a wheelchair by spina bifida and raises him as her son. That's abuse?

If she adopts with no intention of marrying and providing the child with a father, then yes, its abuse.

Single women should not be allowed to adopt and raise children on their own. Its unnatural.

Free Republic used to be a political forum advocating Republican/conservative/libertarian thought; it's turning into a forum advocating theocracy, and this thread is just one of many examples.

Only secularists believe that Traditional American/Judeo-Christian Morality is the same thing as a "theocracy".

Head on over to DU where you'll be welcome.

I’m not sure I understand the point you’re making,

You're right, you don't.

but if you are trying to justify accepting pedophiles because they just can’t stop - I don’t accept that.

I never mentioned pedophiles. I think that they do not choose to be sexually interested in children but that is not relevant to this discussion because children are incapable of consent so exploitation of children could never be justifiable.

In the case of two adults, both are capable of consent and the relationship is not exploitative, and thus inherently different.

It's interesting you seem to assume that heterosexuality is the innate tendency of all people except in the case of nonnormative orientations, and then it becomes about choice. Or perhaps I am assuming to much from my own experience, perhaps in your case heterosexuality was not innate and you did make a conscious choice at puberty to only pursue relationships with the opposite sex. That would better explain your dogmatism on this issue. If so I must admire your self-discipline.

We are all in control of our behavior.

Of course.

Who in their right mind would tell the homosexual or the pedophile to just accept their behavior because it’s an alternative lifestyle?

You're compiling various things that do not belong in the same category. No one would tell a pedophile to go out and rape children. I would tell a homosexual not to agonize about their homosexual feelings because I do not consider those wrong. I have the idea you're thinking the homosexual "alternate lifestyle" is all about wild unprotected sex. I would not suggest that anyone go out and have wild unprotected sex, I would strongly discourage this.

However, in the case we were talking about, the person involved is a woman who has never been in a sexual relationship with anyone and who is not interested in being in a relationship with more than one person, ideally, in her entire life. You say that she has chosen selfishly to be attracted to other women although she's never had sex with anyone and has obtained no tangible rewards for her sexual orientation, just suffering. What kind of ridiculous "selfishness" is that?

I will never allow my children to be subjected to that kind of liberal garbage.

Your opinion is your prerogative.

You don’t know what’s in Mary Chaney’s heart. I don’t know what’s in Mary Chaney’s heart. We only see an outward behavior that is perhaps not what many on this board would approve of. BUT it is not your right to judge who will spend eternity in hell. Only God can do that.

Pauly Shore will spend eternity in hell. He’s earned it.

As a pro-life, pro-business, pro-Iraq War Catholic who has never voted for a Democrat in all her voting years, I seriously doubt I belong at DU.

And you have a very perverse idea of what constitutes abusive.

“Hypothetical: A single woman adopts, from a Russian orphanage, a male 3-year-old confined to a wheelchair by spina bifida and raises him as her son. That’s abuse?”

Actually that is a perfect example. If an older male pedophile Satanist adopted a male infant to raise along with his boy harem, would that be abuse? In the example, the man never molests the infant, just raises it and provides food, shelter, etc.

Do you see how many additions you had to add on to my hypothetical to turn it into "abuse"? We would call that spinning wildly. And it generally means you don't have a very good argument.

You're right. I should amend: "It is not your right to judge who will spend eternity in hell, unless you're judging Pauly Shore. Only God, and anyone who has had the misfortune to sit through a Pauly Shore film, can do that."

Better?

Could you name one or two FReepers who are "advocating theocracy" on this thread?

Please, I beg you in the name of all that is holy, do not make me read this thread again to find their names. LOL. If I have a chance later, I'll find them.

Thank you. Much better. Though there is always the possibility Pauly Shore movies are God’s way of punishing us...

Way to push people over to the other side! Remember, in elections it’s the guy with the most votes who wins.

Thats true. God will know if there has been a true change of heart but as I said, Homosexuals must turn from their immorality first. I didn't think I would ever have to defend my position on homosexuality in FR. I just wonder when it will become considered hate speech and illegal to preach against homosexuality in church. It can't be far off. Even in conservative circles, Christains are being called terrorists.

It's folks like you who give conservatives a bad name for your narrow mindedness. When I saw your flip response, I thought I was in my chat room talking to an arrogant liberal who has all the answers and tunnel vision.

I attempt to look at all sides of an issue. I don't profess to have all the answers. I do think that being gay is not choice, it's messed up hormones/testosterone. If one thinks about it, who would actually chose to be homosexual. It is for the most part totally unacceptable. I also keep in mind that we are all God's children.

I have observed children of gay couples (mostly men) and found them to be bright, polite and well rounded. That they are loved and nurtured is the important part. Remember, they were wanted, not unplanned. Their families went through a great deal to share their lives with them and provide them with a home.

I wish the entire Cheney family much health and happiness.
