This year in Iowa there is an opportunity no only to address this issue but to turn the state back to its conservative roots. There have been in recent years a lot of effort to run stealth liberals in the state which had until recently been very successful. It is time to clean house in Iowa.

We’ll probably find out they legalized gay marriage in the health bill.

It’s failed in every state where it was put to a public vote, no?

“For the longest time, it was the communist threat,” he said. “Now it’s the, quote unquote, homosexual threat.”

The Communist threat is still genuine. Plenty of human rights abuses in Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, China,...

And the Lavender Mafia denies that there is a homosexual agenda. But here they are trotting out same sex marriage.

I was about to say - the “NO on 8” people in California were pretty darn surprised at the outcome. Turns out the Hispanic Catholics and Black Christians in Northern and Southern California outnumbered the looney libs in Hollywood and San Francisco.

Who knew?

A person can not logically support same sex marriage without also supporting adult incest marriage and polygamy.

I wouldn't put it past the Democrats to try such things but marriage laws (age of consent, etc.) differ from state to state.

While the Rats always trot out "racism" when someone mentions States' Rights, some undeniable examples of things that the Federal government CANNOT dictate are drinking age, DUI blood alcohol levels, speed limits, etc. The Federal government blackmails states into compliance by withholding highway tax dollars.

And why do we let Iowa pick out presidential candidates again?

The Homos picked Iowa as a “test” case for Homo “Marriage” because they knew that the Iowa Constitution is notoriously hard to amend and the Iowa “Supreme” Court is packed with Liberals.

They also wanted a foothold in the heartland to flout their perversion in the faces of the most conservative of Americans - on their own doorsteps.

This is the nature of homosexualism - it can't be kept to itself.

A person can also not say they are for liberty if they are going to force everyone to celebrate and write support into law for a behavior they do not believe is correct. Gay rights is just one more leftist route to tyranny over those they fear.

That’s true. Just wait. I’m surprised polygamists in particular haven’t cottoned on to this already.

Well, technically, the goat is not an adult and can not consent to the marriage like a blood relative or multiple wives can.

It’s probably the libertarian in me speaking, but seriously, who cares? Marriage is a union before God, not before the state of Iowa.

“For the longest time, it was the communist threat,” he said. “Now it’s the, quote unquote, homosexual threat.”

It is still "the communist threat". All these degenerating irritants such as the homo agenda, open borders, etc., are just more tentacles of the "long march through the institutions".
