Would the founding fathers have approved of interracial marriage? No, I’d bet

Well, just damn. I'd best go wake up minha morena and tell her and the kids that the marriage is OFF!

NOT...

The nature of American culture has evolved. Not to the point of perversion or bestiality, but rather so that we can appreciate the pallet that God has painted our fellow men and women with.

"O que e um arco-iris com so uma cor?" - "What is a rainbow with but one color?". Answer: Pretty damn boring.

I'd submit that the Founding Father's didn't pursue interracial marriage because there wasn't enough women from any other group for them to find one suitable to pursue.

On the other hand, it was quite common in the frontier for settlers, traders and mountain men to take an Indian or Mexican wife.

Others were more likely impacted by the overwhelming need to survive. Sticking with their given society rather than risk hostile encounters with different cultural groups. It was a different world then. Opportunity for racial integration was not as common as it is today.

I won't even go into slavery. My mind won't process that terror this early in the morning.

Suffice to say, whatever would have motivated the Founding Fathers, the situation is obviously far different today than 200 years ago. We have ample opportunity for contact with many different cultures and societies and explore common bonds such as Christian faith, conservatism and other moral values. My wife has made me more conservative than I thought I've ever be.

And I have to treat her like and angel, because in my heart, I'm not really sure that she isn't one.

No other exercise of one's liberty comes with greater responsibilities than marriage."

What part of sacredness of marriage don't they get?

Marriage between a man and a woman is the basis of a healthy society. Anything other than that is misguided and in error with natural law.

considering how this is documented in prison systems, while in prison, I don’t see how you can object.

If you read my post, I clearly state that this is an IN prison phenomenon. IOW there is an absence of females with no chance of other avenues.

I never even TOUCHED mccain’s prisoner of war status. ESPECIALLY since he was in isolation AND the us military soldiers as prisoners of war can not be in any way confused with the modern day prison population.

Finally, I would suggest you do a little serious research. Prison population where you have lifers and decade long incarcerations with present day 85% must serve laws and you will find substantiation, again, while IN prison. (remember JAIL is not PRISON)

please read and you will see we do agree that “going homosexual” is a misnomer. (and just a recruiting tool for the homosexual activists. see GLSN and PFLAG)

Society rewards the institution not the individual.

Marriage between a man and a woman offers and reinforces the contiuation and propagation of society.

Homosexual behaior offers NOTHING to society. The do not reinforce future generations.

Even a childless couple reinforces the model of producing children. Even a childless couple could adopt a child and the child never know they are adopted but produced of the union of a man and a woman.

Homoesexuals are only about a recreational bedroom fetish. that is it.

marriage based on skin color was only a recent and short lived modern phonomenon.

It has no substance beyond the history of the USA. (just as slaves were not limited to skin color)

Those marriages have the potential of producing children.

Homosexual relations produce nothing.

Agreed!

I would also say that the institution of marriage also rewards society in its proper context.

These people who are trying to push same sex marriage don't understand that at all. They are undermining the institution as well as society. Then again maybe that's their purpose.

exactly!
Just toss out 5000+ years of Judeo-Christian culture to make some misbegotten misfits happy. And even if voted in they won’t be happy because their brains are warped

Well you want to poke a finger in the eye of the Heavenly Father, you go right ahead, that is your right. But what you do not have is the right to demand a nation take on what the Heavenly Father calls an abomination and claim it civility.

Show me the proof aside from movies...

I know scores of inmates and am very familiar with a number of serious prisons.

Atlanta USP, Terre Haute USP, El Reno Reformatory, Otisville FCI, Lewisburg USP, Manhattan MCC, Miami FCI and Jesup FCI.

I don't know one prisoner who went queer seeking sexual relief. Not one. I did hear of one guy who had a 20 year bit and got drunk and let a sissy blow him and got so despondent that he tried to kill himself....one example and it was disastrous.

Folks get raped yes and mostly by blacks...it's just how it is. They do not have the peer pressure not to do it so much as others. I know folks hate hearing that but it is the plain truth. Ask anyone with knowledge of prisons. American Indians too can be a bit predatory but some will kill over it.....very divided over it. Plains tribes are worse about that Eastern.

Engaging in homosexual activity is a death sentence for Aryan Brotherhood, Dirty White Boys, Nazi Lowriders, La Eme, Nuestra Familia and Los Nortenos, Surenos and Texas Syndicate. Very very frowned on. Same with Wise Guys. Can't speak for Triads and Asians, don't have much experience with them.

In that James Olmos film American Me about Los Surenos from Southern Kali, the gang actually was very angry with him for portraying them as homosexual rapists. It is a no no for them.

With all due respect you portraying a conviction about something of which you are ignorant.

The left and homosexuals have pushed this notion that most men will go queer under the right circumstances...that is patently false...even for lifers.

Now women's prison.....quite another story. Ask any guard in a female joint. Over half seek comfort and female prison is full of dykes already

I have many friends of various ethnic backgrounds and I can tell you now that they very much resent being compared to sexual deviants. The consumption of fecal material by males practicing such behavior is universally disgusting and all disapprove of the rimming, felching, and pederastic behavior that is so precious to the “gay” community. Addressing the public health issues is another story for the number 1 vector for the spread of infectious and antibiotic resistant diseases.

It is NOT that they don’t understand that they are destroying the foundation of human civilization. That is their stated purpose.

I had a bunch of quotes to that effect and I must search and find them.

They know what they’re doing. It’s not that they want ‘marriage’, they want destruction.

Can't argue with those points.

If you find those reports or quotes could you ping me?

Back to yard work.

do you have any knowledge of the criminal justice system?

how about the fact that HIV is is a significant issue. Not that prisoners are just high risk people already infected going in, but tested people going in unifected are ending up infected.

There are way too many horrific stories and cases in the courts about what happens in prisons. State officials have long sought to brush that situation under the carpet. Whether is it rape, control methods, or any other descriptive the bottom line is it is male on male or female on female sexual acts. A behavior created by circumstances.

The hearings and background on the 2003 passage into law of the “ Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 “ adresses most all your concerns.

prison rape...commited predominately but not exclusively by blacks has nothing to do with your assertion that men go queer in prison to seek sexual relief anymore than that men in the real world rape women for sexual relief either

rape is about evil, domination, perverse pleasure, acting out grudges , intimidation etc....very little if any to do with normal sexual relief that has been suspended due to incarceration.

Yes. I think it should be rather obvious to you by now that I know something about what I’m talking about.

Good day.
