Fox News seems to be pushing this agenda.

We need a true Conservative party and voice. Not New York’s watered down version of conservative.

Another liar for the left.

Mary, the Republican Party is dead, your kind purposely killed it long ago.

Just come out of the other closet and admit you are a Democrat.

States have regularly taken action to enact civil marriage with clear exemptions and protections for churches, synagogues and other religious entities. No matter what happens with same-sex marriage, that will not change.

Okay, so they've had "civil unions" for some time now. But still they insist on "Marriage". I think that this is all about their own self doubt. They know it's wrong and they want us to jump through hoops to try and make them feel better about their insecurity. The problem is in their heads and nothing we can do is going to make it better.

Marriage has a meaning which necessarily involves two people of the opposite sex.

Deciding to call a cow’s tail a leg does NOT result in a 5 legged cow!

Time for the GOP to embrace God and forget about appeasing the godless heathen.

Two men cannot be husband and wife, nor can two women be husband and wife. Therefore, there can be no such thing as “gay marriage”, no matter what the Court rules, nor more so than if they ruled it was constitutionally mandated that minotaurs exist in a binding ruling - that does not make it so. And code words and phrases like “marriage equality” don’t cut it - there is only “marriage reality.”

It’s time for Mary Cheney to embrace the concepts of language and reality.

That claim has already been proven false, with the persecution of Christian bakers in the courts.

It’s time for the left to stop the selfish, destructive and oppressive agenda forced on the American people.

Sure Mary, let’s ignore the deeply held beliefs of most Americans and centuries of civilization to accommodate you and your 1%.

Ah....my path to riches!

I will begin marketing 4 legged chickens.

I’ve declared that the appendages formerly called “wings” are now “legs”.

warn that marriage equality will lead to the criminalization of Christianity

Clueless nonsense - has she not been following what has been happening up in Canada and in some of our states, like Oregon? That's what the "marriage equality" and "gay rights" movements are all about - it has nothing to do with expanding rights for some but about specifically targeting people and forcing them underground under the guise of "rights" - just like many programs that are designed to "help the poor" is just a rouse to merely expand the government's powers and authority over the populace at large.

Sodomy is Marriage.

War is Peace.

Freedom is Slavery.

Ignorance is Strength.

First of all, I don’t think she is trying to fool anyone. The piece is so full of various boilerplare Progressive terminology, catch phrases, talking points, etc that at best she cobbled it together from other peoples’ work and at worst it was written for her.

As it is, whoever wrote this employed the Progressive tactic of claiming it won’t impact religious freedom by defining that freedom within the specific and limited context of religious organizations. IOW not applicable outside of them, not applicable to Christians who want to live their faith as part of their daily lives, in the context of how they do business, etc.

As mentioned in related threads, the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect gay marriage. So instead of trying to unconstitutionally force gay marriage on the states by means of political correctness like she is doing, Ms Cheney needs to do the following.

Ms Cheney needs to work with state and federal lawmakers to propose a gay marriage rights amendement to the Constitution to the states. And if the states choose to ratify Ms Cheney’s amendment then gay marriage will be constitutionally protected and Ms Cheney will be a hero.

Its time for gays to embrace the 1st amendment.

Mary Cheney must think we don’t remember gays suing Christian owned buisnesses for not celebrating gay marriages.
