Were you aiming that at me or young Presley?

My apologies. I thought you were the one that has been spamming us with Scott Walker propaganda, but looking at your posts, it must have been someone else. My bad.

Bottom line is that that the exact same rules apply to everyone.

“Naturally, you are at liberty to marry any consenting adult your heart desires based on equal protection and due process.”

Hmmm. Can you marry more than one at a time, if that’s what your heart desires? How about family members? What if the heart desires a non-human? What if it has nothing to do with what the heart desires, and it’s just a way to get benefits of some kind?

Also, what if somebody else’s heart doesn’t desire to “marry” you? Are they at liberty to refrain from doing so? Are they at liberty to refuse to bake a cake for you? What if they refuse to recognize your “marriage”? Are they at liberty to do so?

I see costs to allowing same sex marriage. I see zero benefits. Homos get their perversions approved by the government. How does society benefit from that?

“What consenting adults do in their bedroom or how consenting adults form their relationships is no business of mine or the State.”

He thinks that marriage has a lot to do with stuff in the bedroom. Ah, silly youth. But seriously, isn’t “gay marriage” simply inviting the government into the bedroom? Isn’t this just homos looking for the all-important governmental stamp of approval for their perversions?

Here is where I stopped reading: The executive branch constitutes a form of elected and limited monarchy with a single leader given the power of the U.S. military.

If you marry for sex (whatever kind) you’re going to be real disappointed sooner or later. Having just turned 55 two days ago, I know what I’m talking about. LOL

It sort of looks that way on paper, in a simplistic way, but you'd think a bright young boy who has read so many of the classics would've also read The Federalist Papers wouldn't you?

You were fine stopping there. It didn’t get better.

Thank you for referencing that article 2ndDivisionVet. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Cruz: "I think the proper place to debate those issues is in the legislative chambers."

Both Sen. Cruz and Gov. Walker are sitting on the fence imo, treating the constitutionality of gay marriage as if it was merely a matter of opinion. But hypothetically speaking, even if all citizens supported gay marriage, it remains that the states still have the 10th Amendment power to prohibit constitutionally unprotected gay marriage. The states would need to amend the constitution to expressly make gay marriage a right in order to prohibit the states from prohibiting gay marriage.

Presley has spent the majority of his life in a small town in Texas providing him the solace of solitude in long walks of contemplation where he argues with himself, recites speeches, and ponders philosophy.

He needed a wiser opponent.

Ask him if two spinster siblings (in a non-sexual living arrangement) can “marry” one another to shelter their estate and possibly obtain insurance benefits from a current (or retiree) employment program?

The Blaze hired some libertarian writers. Ted is friends with Beck and they went to that event at the border that angered people. But that aside the Blaze since S.E. Cupp, who one worked there, came out in favor of gay marriage has had some people who are pro-gay marriage. But I a sure you Dana Loesch who has a show on the channel is anti-gay marriage. they have diverse veiw points. I know nothing of this author though as writers have changed at the Blaze since one left to the Washington Examiner and another guy went to Mediaite after being fired.

P.S. Cupp is all over the map and she left to CNN, but when Crossfire was canned she started a weekend radio show on The Blaze Radio with Will Cain so she is still with The Blaze technically. I am not a a fan of Cupp. But I am a huge fan of Dana Loesch who works at The Blaze.

This man has no idea what marrage is, he thinks its about a feeling or mere commitment when it is about famly.

Insolently Equal protection of the law still invoes the law otherwise its just whatever a judge things constitutes equality among men.

Due process of law is also just as depended upon the existances of said law being carried out successfully. Take away the law and what is right or wrong is again entirely up to the arbitrary whim of some judge aka dictator.

Without law under which to decide judgement a judge is a boundless authority, and there is no justice for anyone.

Not going to the link.

Beck lost me forever when he decided to help out with Obamugabe’s plan to flood the country with illegal young people. Everyone at his publication is also un-trustworthy now, IMO.

It was never supposed to be about a “Party” — but rather about reforming American government back within the scope of its specified purpose - TO SECURE THESE RIGHTS.

Individuals either believe in conserving the ideals that caused the founders to constrain that purpose, or not.

Natural Law will eventually end the debate over homosexual unions: A hive full of eunuch drones always dies.
