Life has gotten way too serious to put up with hysterical social conservative crap anymore.
Hey, then just ignore us. Spend all your times on the "War on Terror" threads. I don't recall anybody asking specifically for your opinion. As the libertarians say, if you don't like it, just turn the channel (or switch threads in this case).

Nope - I can't ignore it. Just as your fellow traveller Pat Buchanan snatched defeat from the jaws of victory with that nasty speech in 1992, you people are trying to do that again for 2004 with a bunch of meaningless crap that will wreck GOP chances with dumb sound bites that will be played over and over by Dem candidates.
This time, it is infinitely more serious in result from the standpoint of national security - because the Truman style dems are not likely to be in in the lead.
An amendment to the Constitution is one of the more stupid ideas ever put forth. Not that such an amendment stands a rat's ass chance of ever passing congress, much less being ratified.
Tell me, if gay couples marriages are legally recognized, are you heterosexuals going to stop getting married because of it? Are you going to end your current marriages because of it? Does who else gets married really have that much effect on your life? Does the fact your neighbor down the street is or isn't married affect your household?
Also, tell me if your church is legally required to marry everyone who asks? If a heterosexual satanist couple comes to your church and asks to be married, is your church and pastor obligated to perform the ceremony? If not, why would you think you would be so obligated for a gay couple? There has been NOTHING said about obligating any church or religion to perform or recognize anything they don't like or believe, just as they currently do.
If you want to get bent out of shape over exaggerations and non-existent boogeymen, that's your choice. I prefer to live in the real world and find it inappropriate for our elected officials to continue spending valuable time on trivialities when there are so many important issues which actually DOES EFFECT EVERYONE'S LIVES to work on.
