xzins...stated homosexuality was illegal for many years and since homosexuals have diseases related to their life-style then it becomes a matter of federal government to protect the rest of us from their diseases.
The only tool the federal government has to protect people from something is by making it illegal.
I think it is twisted to think the federal government should protect us from a disease caused by a life-style choice.
To me it is down the road of fascism and just like you said we know have people in power that view conservatives the same way...a disease and the federal government should make being conservative illegal (recent comments exposed on MSNBC).
And the only thing I stated in the beginning was why is the federal government involved in marriage anyway? That one question turned into the hate-filled rhetoric against gay people.
Also after Weimar is when the people in Germany were begging for the government to come top down on the issues. It always happens that way.
And quite frankly that is why people should be really pissed with Bush W...he set the stage for our mini-weimar which lead to the current marxist in chief.
Wrong. The feds should just quit pushing the homosexual agenda. It’s been illegal in the states all along. Same with abortion until the federal court imposed its unconstitutional rule on us.
Certain homosexual ACTIVITIES (like sodomy) were illegal for thousands of years. And it is a FACT that their are diseases associated with homosexuality. And certainly protecting the public from epidemics is a valid government role.

Utter nonsense.

So, you think it is just fine for sodomites to donate blood? Or is it "twisted" to think we should be protected from this if possible?

It is IMPOSSIBLE for equal protection to apply if the government is not involved. Moreover, there are millions of Americans who work for the government or are retired (this includes veterans) plus tens of millions on Social Security and marital status is a vital part of the benefits.

Can you cite one of these "hate-filled" posts? Or are you simply talking about objecting to the homosexual agenda?

No, the people wanted inflation to end and unemployment to come down. The only people talking about "issues" were the Nazis and even they kept their rhetoric fairly tame until they took power.
I am curious though about your continued responses on this thread. Jim has suggested that you tone it down, I cannot help but wonder if you are a member of some anti-FReeper site that will not accept you as a "full member" without an actual zot.
What about contaminated blood, or drug resistant tuberculosis? Innocent people are hurt, sometimes killed, because of this "happy and normal" life style choice of others.
I think what you might be missing is this "life-style choice" is not made in a vacuum. The normalization of a condemned by GOD deviant behavior will affect society as a whole.
The only freaking reason the fedgov is involved in trying to protect marriage (via the DOMA act) is because sodomy practioners and their leftist pals FORCED it on ALL the states! By huge nanny fedgov! They started it! As you well know.

Only homosexuals and leftists call the truth about the homosexual agenda and the truth about the homosexual lifestyle "hateful rhetoric". You did not disprove anything xzins said. You are using typical leftist and libertarian tactics all over this thread. BTW, you never addressed any of my points to you in my several comments. Strawman and character sliming are your tactics, not rational debate. Or maybe you're arguing with the voices in your head.
