GEORGE H. W. BUSH: I HAVE "MELLOWED" ON GAY MARRIAGE
The Huffington Post ^ | 11-5-15 | Sam Levine

Posted on 11/10/2015 10:10:03 AM PST by Alfred O. Bama

Former President George H.W. Bush has moderated his views on same-sex marriage since seeking the White House, according to a new biography.

Bush said in his audio diary before his 1988 presidential campaign that Americans "didn't want same-sex marriage codified," according to The New York Times. But after he served as an official witness at a 2013 same-sex wedding, he sent his biographer, Jon Meacham, a note to clarify that his views had changed....

I have mellowed on gay “marriage” too. A “marriage” between two men still strikes me as equivalent to a “marriage” between a man and a potato, but I recognize that many governments will play make believe on the issue for a while. That’s mellow, isn’t it?

Yep, but I don’t believe they “always” thought that way. These are people who will simply cave into popular opinion on any issue. They’re not for incest or pedophilia now, but if 50+% of the population “evolved” to be for it, they would follow along and say “if everybody is doing it, it can’t be that bad.” It’s the lemming factor.

Social movements only need a small minority of committed followers to radically change the country, because the majority will fall like dominoes once the momentum gets going. That’s why we’re both in more danger than we realize of fundamental transformation of the U.S. and why we’re also more powerful than we realize, if we could simply agree to stand and fight for what we believe in without caving in.

Makes one think that maybe the dynasties in England weren’t the only dynasty who believed in inbreeding.

Laura also voted for McGovern over Nixon, when TX went heavily for Nixon in 1972.

I bet Laura also voted for “Lord Benson” in 1970 for the Senate against GHWB; that was before she was a Bush.

Yes, but he negated Thomas with Souter. I’m surprised he didn’t pull the Thomas nomination when the liberals howled about it.

Who's running? GHW? W? Roger Ailes? Dana Perino?

Let's see...I'll try to remember...Oh yes, a Bush! That family , the one that's been running conservatism into the ground since the 80's. First Poppy, who destroyed Reaganomics with those wonderful tax increases ("read my lips"); then W, with that "compassionate conservatism" snake oil, and now we're getting Jeb, who as the CEO of Florida stood by and didn't lift a DAMNED finger while her husband let Terri Schiavo starve to death.

Great family.

I am very unhappy that they covered up how Liberal his wife was. If they have to deceive us, they are not our friends.

I firmly believe that if Thomas had been white, Bush would have caved. That's what I mean when I said I think he did it for the wrong reasons. I think he only nominated Thomas because he was black, and not because of how qualified and competent he is.

As it turns out, He is the best nomination George HW Bush ever made.

I smelled troll when this guy first started posting, negative crap articles about every republican candidate.

Glad he’s gone.

Thanks for the ping.

The American people still don’t agree with SSM. The courts have overruled them.
PS Pres Bush is Episcopalian, so not surprising really.
