Sounds to me like he’s taking the biblical view.

Sounds like Ben Carson clarified. Remember, this is politico, ever eager to destroy Ben Carson.

He got too close to the truth...

Once Marriage is redefined, the legal eagles on our side of the ledger note challenges in regards to polygamy, marrying your cousin, marrying a family member etc etc are not out of the question. Andrew Sullivan noted what is the definition of marriage, is it of a finite time, can it be open etc.

many here on FR have posted stories from Canada and Europe from real newspapers with articles such as should we take another look at incest etc, much like 20 years ago articles about gay marriage appeared

Again "they" as Progressives will push the boundaries and no one will entertain all the other "things" that will became a legal battle, while their "liberal allies" in this don't see the cause and affect and are only all about the feelings of this issue, and are low information voters at best.....

We are entering uncharted territory and we are about to throw out the map we have because a handful think they know better...

Stand up. or these cretins will destroy our society.

I find myself facing a moral dilemma in response to your statement here -- because there's a flip side to this:

Stand back, and these cretins will destroy themselves.

Yes. You can tell the Shepster has ‘converted’ everyone at Fox to his agenda. Ladies and gentlemen, we are now the new ‘haters’. Prepare for FreeRepublic to be mentioned in the same sentence as StormFront.

My guess is that Hopkins has threatened him with more than just removal of commencement speaker. These people play for keeps. Before we are quick to judge, would you let your family starve or forgo college for your children? Honestly? I would like to think I would, but....

He spoke the truth and for that he will pay... God help us.

It's true that the rain falls on the just and the unjust alike, but this may be our moment in history to simply stand back and be noted for being quietly, proudly and happily counter-cultural.

If nothing else, let's pray for the strength to die standing up.

I don't see anything there that merits an apology whatsoever. They DON'T get to change the definition! That is -- and has to be -- our stance.

I couldn't agree any more completely

Just because you call a horse a cow doesn't mean you're going to get milk

I despise them and wish they’d go back into the closet where they came from. And I’m not ashamed to say it.

I agree but we on this site are so guilty of ensuring that won’t happen. As a group we constantly call Lindsey Graham, The President, John Roberts, the two female Supreme Court ladies, and many others. Quite frankly, we should not even make fun of them because it just enables them to come out. I know for years we would make fun of Anderson Cooper about being gay and we were right but all the talk allowed him to safely leave the closet. I hate gays as a group and as a whole for sure!!!!!

I don't agree with apologizing but he didn't really apologize if you read what he said. He didn't change his position. I'm glad he stood up unlike many who claim to support traditional marriage that always manage to mince words with the states rights line. Why can't they just say "You know I disagree with homosexual behavior so of course I disagree with homosexual marriage.". Homosexuality is not correct, its not even sex technically, it is a semblance of "sex" because sex is that which has potential to produce offspring. I know we have gotten all fuzzy about sex and all blurred about what words mean but being gay is not a favorable outcome or lifestyle. If some can be happy living that lifestyle then power to them I know some who do though its not my job to judge their degree of happiness. I can judge the public side of homosexuality though and it is a disgusting and obscene movement dominated by sexual exhibitionism like below which was one of the tamer pictures from a public pride parade which had school children participating and children viewing.

He had already planned to retire later this year. I just want to find someone who will refuse to apologize for speaking the truth. Just one.

He shouldn’t have apologized. Disappointed that he did. I have said the same and yes, have discussed the same incest and bestiality issues with those lobbying for same sex marriage on Facebook. I will continue to do so and I will not apologize for it! Come on, conservatives, get your game on!

I agree 100%. They are the one’s who spread AIDs. They are the ones destroying traditional this, that, etc. They act like a damn minority, and; they demand minority preference. Obama gave these whack jobs special treatment in the military, etc. These are not the types I nor anyone ever commanded in combat or led,and; I damn sure would not want a blood transfusion from one. There is no damn way these fags can be in an Infantry unit and not create serious problems to combat readiness. When Brucie and Pal are split up they will whine and cause more damn trouble then any female who is an Infantry type. If a commander has two fags in his unit he has serious issues if one is disciplined or transferred. These fags and lesbos come in pairs. Now if a female officer decides to get pregnant just prior to combat or on R&R the next thing you have is a unit with no cohesion, unlike a commander shot to hell or killed, this preference for gays and females and lesbos in combat units is a big PROBLEM. The real minority in this country is the WASP MALE.

Now students at UofM don’t want him to speak there.

This crap is extremely damaging to society. The validity of art, literature, medicine, etc is now secondary to ideology.
