Glenn has looked at the numbers and is going along to get along.
There is no such thing as gay marriage. They may make it legal but it is only a farce.Treat it as such.
NEVER accept it.
Traditional marriage is one of the few area’s that government should be involved in.
God gave us a promise in 11 Corinthians 7:14. We casually say, “GOD Bless America”...only to just live our lives casually without being true to His Word.
Unless Christians wake up and turn to God through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, turn from our wicked ways we will continue to live without God healing our land. It starts with individuals and goes up to God not the other way around.
Sad thing is we have got a Supreme Court and lower courts that are redefining the law of the land AND going against laws that a majority have voted to uphold all the while a warring minority decide to disavow.
a farce
Indeed.
It’s just laughable!
Where is this in the Constitution?
Where is "marriage" in the Constitution?
Four states had gay marriage measures on their ballots last month.
Three voted to allow it. The fourth voted against prohibiting it.
Exactly
Very well said
Heck, I'm still trying to figure out where liberals found sodomy in the Constitution.
Are you saying just because it is not in the Constitution children do not need and do not have the right to the love of a married father and father? It sure looks that way
Nobody is making the essential legal argument...
Reynolds v. United States (1878) defined marriage as one man and one woman.
I’m most ignorant about Mormonism. I’m not sure I’ve ever even known a Mormon.
Can someone point me to the place in the Bible where having multiple wives is sanctioned? (I’m not a Biblical scholar, either.......)
Try the entire OT. History of Abraham and Jacob, etc.
There are a lot of things Liberals want to imply are in the Constitution or covered under some completely unrelated Right or clause. Conservatives should not engage in the same re-interpretation game.
Marriage is not mentioned, defined, or specified as a Right in the Constitution. The Government should stay out of it and not provide special benefits, services, or tax rates to Citizens/residents based on their state of singlehood, co-habitation, or wedlock.
The government got into the marriage business in the 1920’s. It’s really none of their business, just another way to raise more money and regulate the people. Before this it was generally through a church.
Oh ya, it was originally to stop mixed race marriages, from Wikipedia- In the 1920s, they were used by 38 states to prohibit whites from marrying blacks, mulattos, Japanese, Chinese, Indians, Mongolians, Malays or Filipinos without a state approved license.
Gotta love progressivism.
Marriage is not the Government's business to encourage or enforce.
And no, children don't have a legal or human "right" to the love of a married mother/father or any other numerical multiple thereof. If so, children could sue their biological parents who never marry, divorce, or re-marry as a violation of their "right."
The Government is failing miserably to uphold and defend the actual Rights we do have. Let's not imply rights as part of a fictional "social contract" for Govt to waste scarce time and resources on.
“There is no such thing as gay marriage.” — Exactly. It is, as you say, a farce. Like someone saying “I’m a horse,” and expecting others to affirm such silliness.
