Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who reportedly is on Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's short list for a running mate, said in a December 2010 interview with Christianity Today that while she believes marriage is designed for a man and a woman "perhaps we will decide that there needs to be some way for people to express their desire to live together through civil union."
While discussing how faith has guided her positions on different issues, Rice was prompted by Christianity Today’s Sarah Pulliam Bailey to discuss same-sex marriage.
“Same-sex marriage is another issue that has captured the country's attention in recent years,” said Bailey.
Rice responded: “I have lots of respect for people on both sides of this divide, because there are really hard issues. I don't ever want anybody to be denied rights within our country.”

I have posted similar posts before, but I couldn’t resist writing again:
The Left’s culture is based upon moral relativism. It is a very seductive morality because it functions as a self centered pursuit of pleasure. Moral relativism is a set-up for Marxism. By making ones moral thinking no more important than the other you set the stage for political, economic, legal and material egalitarianism. Egalitarianism is a system which renders human beings as equal. To reach such a Utopian society, one utilizes the state to redistribute all aspects of human life until all are equal.
Just a side light: The goal of gay marriage is the egalitarian treatment of human relationships. When the gay relationship is equal to the heterosexual relationship, the egalitarian objective is accomplished.
The opposition by the gay community and their abortionist cohorts to the Christian Church is an effort to transform society by either eliminating or retooling the Church. When you put everything they are doing into one description, they are minimizing the importance of life that is produced by the relationship between a man and a woman. Once life is redefined by the egalitarian paradigm, life does not have any more protection or significance than that which is determined by the state.
Life produced by a man and a woman no longer has that level of significance that our culture has given it through the ages. This is a part of the Marxist strategy. Human life must no longer have that transcendent importance that sets it above the state. Human life is now the property of the state to define as it wants and to use as it sees fit.
As the love relationship of heterosexual marriage and the beginning of human life are being attacked by the Marxist’s effort to transform our society, one can only wonder what’s next?
Doesn’t she live with a woman ?
Palin is getting (lots) of opposition from some.
I’m on her side.
I believe this whole thing is a ruse anyway.
Looking forward to voting with a hanky impregnated with Febreeze held tightly to my nose. Maybe Holder's right about the 'Pubs attempting repress the vote.....
Adam What’s-his-name, John Travolta, Anderson Cooper.....
She’s been missing out on the coming out.
It’s Condi Time.
Palin is wrong on this one. Condi would be terrible. There are so many better more aggressive, go on offense conservatives that we need to push the agenda rather than waste time defending the Bush years.
Then again, perhaps not.
Perhaps we will decide there needs to be P/M "civil unions"...
Where a male pervert marries a female pervert, and then they can carry on with whomever, 10 different partners a night, same-sex, anything that walks, without jealousy.
And they could enjoy all the economic benefits as anyone else...you know, equal rights.
Oh, I know, we could call it...marriage.
Randy ??? : )

Thank you for posting this again, and please continue to do so.
I’m on Palin’s side, too.
This reported has earned his stripes!!
Yes but Condi can WIN.
That is not a small thing, this time around.
Especially if Mrs. Clinton joins up with him. We’ll need every advantage.
I think you are right. The GOP can and will do much worse.
Sweet, this is just who Mitt needs to pick. She’ll really get the base back on board and put an end to all that third party talk!
Anybody who supports Rice needs to watch this video and look how absolutely giddy she is about Obama getting elected. As an African hyphen American she is proud of America electing Obama. No thanks. I really respected her in the Bush years. I don’t really care about her color or sexual preference. This is all I need to know.

Just the ticket. A pro-abortion, pro-homosexual unmarried, middle-aged woman to balance things out.
(But she’s of African ancestry.)
