We are loosing the debate over same sex marriage because their is no debate. They are telling us, not asking us, nor considering our opinion.
There is no debate.
Same-sex marriage is probably inevitable in America whatever the Supreme Court decides. Thats because the public is clearly leaning that wayO rly . . . ? How come its always defeated when put to public vote in that case, and those votes are subsequently overturned by prejudiced activist judges?
Because we have become a “Post-Christian” nation.
There is no debate because Republicans do not know how to take control of a debate. They are never on the offense; only on the defense and the left has learned how to take advantage of that fact.
“Champions of same-sex marriage are carrying the day for a number of reasons. 1) The advocacy embedded in popular entertainment, such as “Modern Family” and “Brokeback Mountain” has been funny, touching and disarming. 2) Proponents of same-sex marriage appear to be asking for simple justice. 3) Americans would rather stick pins in their eyes than willingly hurt anyone’s feelings. 4) Proponents seem to be embracing the conservative value of marriage. “
Their side used Constitutional freedoms to change people’s minds, and the courts to make sure they stayed that way.
Ours sat around quoting Bible verses thinking that would do something.
The usual laziness of conservatives meant there would be no rallies. They have to work and take kids to soccer practice. Who has time to engage the issue when it counted? I’m too busy!!!
I mean, Rush hammered the issue. isn’t that enough? /s
It is as simple as that
the only thing that’s changed recently in regards to this issue and polling is... blacks who were the biggest opponents of gay marriage are starting to back it because of the black homo in the white house.
With Republicans jumping on the Gay Marriage Bandwagon, it may be time to dump the GOP and create the American Family Party.
on abortion the right has always been on the offensive and we are winning.
Or the Founder’s Party.
> There is no debate.
There is no debate, because debate is not allowed.
Because he supports REAL marriage, the invitation to Dr. Ben Carson to be commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins was rescinded by the student body, and he has offered to step down.
He apologized.
Big mistake. You must NEVER apologize to the Left.
And frankly a lot of straight people have made a mockery of marriage, without any help from the gays.
Yeah, Breyer and Ginsburg say things like that and it makes them seem reasonable, but have they ever actually practiced it? More specifically, have they ever refrained from voting to impose their leftwing policy preferences when given a chance?
It seems the only time they favor leaving matters to the rubes and their elected leaders is when it comes to protecting gun bans and racial preferences.
This idea that they will refrain from trying to impose gay marriage is wishful thinking at best, and is probably closer to delusion.
” There is no debate because Republicans do not know how to take control of a debate. They are never on the offense; only on the defense and the left has learned how to take advantage of that fact.”
No, they are COWARDS, like Boehner, who only care about themselves.
Before one removes a fence, it is prudent to ask why it’s there.
Indeed, even to compare same-sex marriage with letting black marry white women is false. Miscegenation laws were passed precisely because if a black man has sex with a woman, they are very likely to have children. Since there is no natural impediment, racists created artificial ones. But of course, they have taken child-bearing out of the loop. Yet the state got involved in marriage because a man and a woman have the potential —though not the duty—to have children. The state does not care if the couple are in love or not. That is a private matter.
You are right and the reason is we have no way to get our message out except talk radio.
The radical left almost totally controls the media.
If the battle is being lost, and that is by no means certain, it is primarily because the Republican Party no longer represents what is right, and has become little more than a false flag operation...designed only to get you in close where they can fire their guns and blow you away.
You assume that the Republican Establishment t were ever on the right side, except for expedience sake. Jerry Ford and wife were big pro-choice people, and if they were alive would be in favor of giving homosexuals the right to call their legal unions marriage.
