Good news from the RNC for a change.
Good job Steele, and nice answer. Maybe it’s about time that gays showed some tolerance and supported traditional marriage. What right do they have to redefine our culture?
Excellent!
Good. Homosexuality should be recognized only for what it is. Two “friends” committing acts of perversion in private.
...my estimation of Steele just jumped 100%
"'Not just civil unions'. It must be gay marriage like I forced, singlehandedly
upon the captive little people of Massachusetts, just like RomneyCARE.
Any criticism of me or this, will not be tolerated."
Yeeaahhh!!! Stick it to ‘em, Mikey.
Dems, the party of immorality and the killing of babies.
The Pubbies, the party of rino turds and one little lady from Alaska with more balls than the rest of the party leaders combined.
Ping.
If the purpose of civil unions is to confer most of the benefits of marriage, while preserving marriage for a man and a woman, then I don’t see how they can limit civil unions to gays.
Why not allow civil unions for widow sisters who look out after each other?
Why not a group of three anything who want to make a civil union pack and mutually commit to care for each other?
As long as legal enforceability comes with the package and they leave marriage alone, I have no problem with it.
For such a time as this, Conservatives ought to adopt Michael, God’s Archangel, as their symbol. Even though it seems Satan is calling the shots in this evil world, we know that Jesus has won the ultimate victory over Evil. As St. Paul reminds Christians in Romans 8:35-39: “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written, ‘For Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.’ No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Unless Steele openly rebukes Specter, Collins and Snowe and pulls GOP endorsements and support, the Party is the same ol’ same ol’.
Anyone who goes to web sites of groups that advocate these unions should notice the reasons that are given. For example, if you go to the site for the Human Rights Campaign (www.hrc.org), and dig a bit, you will find that most reasons have to do with the tax code, such as employer benefits and the death tax.
Why is this a liberty issue? Answer: when we allow government to tax incomes and then tax people who are married differently from those who are not, it is natural that government must define “marriage”. And because of the very nature of Leviathan, government policymaking tends to set the standard for everyone's behavior on the subject.
When we allow government to tax a person's estate at their death and exempt his spouse, we must allow government to usurp the person's authority to say who his spouse and heirs are.
The liberty-oriented solution is simple: get government out of the business of defining who is “married” and who is a “spouse”. All taxes must be levied without regard to those two considerations. The easiest way to do this is to abolish the income and death tax and to adopt the Fair Tax.
This puts marriage back in its original sphere: God defined marriage, and God recognizes marriage to such an extent that it is a directly named factor in two of the Ten Commandments. The State, and especially the Leviathan parasitic State we presently have, is a secular invention that came way after marriage. People can get married without the permission, regulation, or even the presence of a State. Get the State out of Marriage to put the State in its place on the issue of taxes and personal liberty.
Meghan McCain is deeply saddened.

We need to keep pressure on the RINOs! They have the bad habit of saying one thing and doing another... Call them and email every chance you get. We're fed up with moving the goal post to the left.
Oh that's how to build credibility. A bit shrill aren't we?
Hopefully this will cut some of the shrillness out of the “GOP IS ALL A BUNCH OF STINKIN’ RINOS!!!!!” nonsense by some of the FReepers on here.
