Whatever happened to “the people have spoken”?
Arnold is a fraud, through and through.
California is SO screwed! Now it is literally!
Better than Bustamante!
You sound like another freeper that used to frequent these parts, always with that "pragmatic view".
Godless RINO-— I’m worried about his eternal soul!
California voters learn nothing whatsoever from experience. NADA. And it’s still possible that the USA will go that way too—before it breaks up or is taken over by a foreign power (one that most certainly will not have “gay marriage”).
Arnold make the PATENTLY FALSE Argument: all relationships should be treated with dignity and equal respect. Perhaps it could be nit-picking his arguments, but all relationships are NOT equal in dignity and not all need "respecting."
The media loves to bash the catholic church about the priest scandal, and there is no doubt that the church needs cleansing. The real story, however, is the one that the media completely ignores: the liberal U.S. criminal justice system turned a blind eye to the problem, and they are the only ones with the authority to lock the perpetrators up and throw away the keys. Why hasn't this been done? Because, like Arnold, they believe all relationships have "equal dignity" and deserve "respect." If I had a dime for every judge who slapped a pedaphile on the wrist because of political correctness, I'd be rich.
In addition the legal arguments handed down by the Judge in the gay marriage case should be truly alarming. His argument in his finding was basically this: I don't understand why gay marriage should be illegal, therefore it should be legal. Aristotle missed this logic in his famous book. A judge can now come to any conclusion he wants no matter what the laws say. I don't understand why Newtons Laws of motion are true, therefore they are false QED.
Whitman’s spokeswoman said “The ruling is the first step in a process that will continue.”
Nothing more out of her camp. Spineless, morally void RINO.
“Vote for Meg Whitman, or you’ll end up with Gov. Jerry Brown.”
Do you disagree with the above statement, I made, that California will end up with either Whitman or Brown as governor?
Do you prefer Brown?
Do you have any problems with people pointing out the obvious?
crickets.......crickets.......
>> Seriously though, based on the ruling and the gay judge’s interpretation of the 14th Amendment, polygamy and incest should be covered under this ruling, right? <<
Carling, the way I understand it: No.
People can accuse Walker of a lot of things - judicial activism, liberal agenda, power-hungry tyranny - but he’s certainly smart because he *purposely* closed off the possibility of polygamy by ruling that his findings were based upon the fact that men were being denied marriage licenses to wed other men *because of their gender*, which the Supremes have ruled is off limits (men and women must be treated equally in all things).
He said something along the lines of “there is no such thing as ‘gay marriage’ there is only ‘marriage’ and this court is removing the restriction based upon gender just like it did with race.” It’s toward the end of the ruling but I’m too lazy to go look up the exact page; you can find it online. He knew exactly what he was doing and he did it on purpose so there is no way someone can use this to support multiple marriages. It was almost diabolically brilliant because he made it impossible for people to use the slippery slope argument on appeal.
I’ve said it before, but I just don’t really care about the whole gay marriage thing, nor does most of my generation, because I believe with every ounce of my being that 95%+ to 99%+ of men are straight and want to bang (pardon the phrase), be with, and grow old with women.
I don’t think having gay marriage be an option is suddenly going to cause men throughout the country to go, “Oh, gee! I should have been screwing Steve all along.” I just have too much faith in the incorrigible nature of men who want nothing more than to get in a woman’s pants, generally speaking. That is why the slippery slope thing doesn’t seem particularly probable to me. (You could make eating worms legal - wait, it is - and I’m not going to go do it because it’s repulsive based on my nature. When it comes to gay sex, I think virtually all men are wired to feel the same way. It holds zero interest or appeal.)
What I don’t get about polygamy: When you have a group of people joining together to form an economic unit, isn’t that called a corporation? What is the purpose of saying it is “marriage”? No one has explained that one to me yet.
Whatever happened to all of the idiotic Schwarzenegger supporters that used to infest Free Republic?
Bustamante!!!
Globall Varming kilt ‘em off, I reckun.
That certainly explains your confusion on as to the difference between consensual and non-consensual sex.
“When you have a group of people joining together to form an economic unit, isn’t that called a corporation?”
Well what is it when you have two people joining together to form an economic unit, isn’t that called a partnership? Wasn’t that covered with civil unions?
Several groups and gays have stated that gay marriage should receive the same tax breaks etc. as married heterosexuals, even though gay people can NEVER (naturally and on their own) expand American society! One of the main reasons that marriage is sanctioned/subsidized in the tax code is because a man and a woman can have kids and expand and grow the social structure and future generations of Americans!
Where as gays can only bring down a society - as seen through history!
What a LIBERAL gay-wad coward! Either that, or his Kennedy-wife has him p-—y-whipped!
It's Arnold, not me, who claims all relationships have equal dignity and deserve respect. I don't see the word consensual anywhere in his quote, do you?
The big tenters at Calif. GOP should be marched off the gang plank.
