Is there no limit to what these intolerant haters will promote?
Yes it matters as I see the Republican party folding like cheap suits when they are under pressure from the DemonRats. We are being overwhelmed by both parties at this point and it aint going to get any better. The Pubbies at this point are the lesser of two evils but not by much.
There is no conviction in politics anymore.
Push “Christian values” over the economy and you hand Obama the election and All Conservatives lose, even the social ones.
It’s that simple, Obama & the Rats would love nothing better than to make this election about social issues.
I just learned that romney is not 100% prolife like he said he was. Apparently now he thinks a baby should be killed for the sins of his criminal father. He also came out AFTER the primary ended to say he for gay adoption.
Hey, where are all you people who promised to hold romney’s feet to the fire if he flipped? Remember the promises? I think a lot of romney hacks joined FR to intimidate people into voting romney. Too bad we know the truth before the general election.
They are busy guaranteeing Claire McCaskill's reelection at the moment.
Marriage is a biblical concept. Laws can be passed to redefine the term but the concept will remain. People will simply come up with a new term, such as, sacred marriage or holy marriage or some such term to differentiate from the governments legal definition.

How about obeying God over a party or a mere man? You think we are going to sell our soul for a man who lied to us during the primary, then starts coming out of the liberals closet before the convention? If he will do that, he is not to be trusted, JUST LIKE OBAMA. He wants to throw conservatives overboard, fine, we're gone. Social conservatives have nothing in common with him or obama. They both just want power and neither has a conscience or principals. That goes for the gop too.

What do you think about getting Obama out of the White House and then working on Romney?

I think a man who lies, cheats, buys endorsements already, is going to be just as bad as Obama. If Romney ALREADY flipped to keep real conservatives from winning the primary, he deserves nothing from those he cheated and lied to. Tomorrow I am changing to Independent.
> Tomorrow I am changing to Independent.
Congratulations on making a decision. Do you think that you’ll see an Independent in the Oval Office within the next 20 years?
I dunno.
Do you think we'll see a conservative?
All congresscritters who profess to be Christians, but who silenly watch as their brothers and sisters are being slaughtered by Muslims abroad, will have a terrible surprise waiting for them at the moment of their deaths.
They want authority? With authority comes personal responsibility.
> Do you think we’ll see a conservative?
Yes, within 20 years. The pendulum swings.
I keep seeing this popping up. Marriage is not solely a biblical concept. The ancient Greeks had marriage, as did the Romans, the Chinese, the Japanese, Indians (of both stripes) and just about every culture from antiquity forward. Marriage predates Christianity by a wide margin, and existed in cultures that span the globe long before Christianity spread beyond the Middle East and Europe.
“We” as in “We the People”. “self-evident” as in overtly obvious to one by nature and without external data.
“that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights,”
We are all born with the same rights and opportunities... that we are gifted by GOD HIMSELF “with certain unalienable rights”... which means that they are from GOD and cannot be taken away by man... we cannot be divorced from them.
“that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Governor Walker,
Can you please reconcile these first words put to paper in the form of our Constitution and the statement that you made concerning being for the murder of the most innocent amongst us. I now see why your name was never entered into serious contention for the nomination. I appreciate your fine fiscal stewardship but murder is murder and Constitutional GOD given rights are GIFTS FROM GOD. So reconcile Governor... or rethink your position.

I agree sex goes all the way back to the stone age, but the main point is that in our Christian culture marriage has always been between a man and a woman.
A pairing of mates among humans is not the definition of marriage. Marriage is derived from the Latin marÄ«tÄre meaning to provide with a husband or wife and marÄ«tÄri meaning to get married.
The word is already taken, if people of the same sex want to pair off they could call it something else.
I can’t read your Latin as strange characters didn’t translate somehow. However, since I can read the first three letters, I’m going to go ahead and say that it’s probably wrong. Matrimonium is the Latin noun that most closely translates to the English noun, marriage. There is no literal translation for the adjective form, married. One would say instead, I have a wife, or ego uxorem(wife) habere. A wife would say ego maritus(husband) habere. To get married would be uxorem ducere or to take a wife.
Either way, we’re talking about a vocabulary that specifically concerns marriage that predates Christianity.
