I think you owe everyone on this thread a deep felt apology. I think you need to reconsider your godless libertarian philosophy and consider that godless libertarianism leads to rampant un-checked civil hedonism, which eventually destroys all civilizations.
Well said, Marlowe!
If you will notice, subsequent posts by surfer apologize for and defend Beck.
Surfer:
Beck was not a supporter of Romney during the primaries at all Jim. Beck got behind Romney for one reason - at least he isnt a communist.
If you dont listen to Beck regularly dont claim you know where he stands.
My question is, what do surfer, Romney and Beck have in common?
The reference to 1930’s Germany was two-fold.
1) The people were begging the government to come down and support their ideas as laws.
2) The Nazi’s specifically labeled gays, jews, etc as diseases and that is the responsibility of the government to defend against those diseases.
That is the EXACT argument xzins used to support his case against gay marriage, that gays are a disease and they need to be outlawed.
Does anyone think that is what we should be doing here?
Selecting a group we don’t agree with and making them criminals? You could make the case against ISLAM because they state they want to kill us.
Categorizing any human as a disease is sickening.
