Second, you believe that because vast majorities participated and believed in treating people to unspeakable atrocities, oppression and denial of rights, that would naturally dictate that their beliefs were correct. Got it. “The fact that the vast majority of the planet believes those things to be true is why logic dictates that marriage should be between a man and a woman. ____________ First of all, I don’t believe the VAST majority of people all over the planet share your views and there is no way for you to know this.

Kind of hard to commit to one when you spend every waking moment here posting leftist propaganda under 100 different names. POSTED BY: DANE | JANUARY 7, 2013, 3:03 PM 3:03 PM ____________ Not my fight, I know, but I've been accused of the same thing from time to time, so I thought I'd step in anyway. My retort is always "How do YOU know, if you're not here yourself?" HA! You’re not even in a relationship.

The right to hate is also a right. And it has consequences. See the story about the police averting a plot by a boy to blow up six people ONLY because five of them are Black and one white male is gay. Teaching hate has consequences . . . serious consequences. “Citizens have a right to make judgments, discriminate between choices or lifestyles or appearances or groups, and even to hate, so long as they do not act upon those beliefs in ways which interfere with one’s legal equality rights.” __________ you are so right.

Any church can refuse to marry ANY couple. But, it IS only a civil ceremony when you get right down to it. All any couple has to do is get a marriage license and be married by a justice of the peace. No need for religion to enter the picture, unless the couple chooses to do so. In summary, since marriage IS a civil right, we should not deny that right to ANY couple.

And the President has evolved to this point, along with others of us who agree. You know, it's a sad situation when people DON'T grow and change. When I stop growing and changing, I'll be dead. “Marriage is not a civil right.” – Barack Obama, Constitutional Scholar, 2004 ________ Well, it wasn’t smarty pants! :) It should be NOW in 2013.

Section 5 of the law says that certain states with a history of voter discrimination must clear any changes to their election laws with federal officials in Washington. Lawyers for Shelby County, Ala., are challenging the constitutionality of Section 5. The case, called Shelby County v. Holder, will be argued Feb. 27. ______________ Keep your eye on the prize, S.Ct.

And you know what? That didn't work for those detractors because look at the "CANCER' it has become that is destroying the Party! LOL...the point? Be careful of your 'choice of words'. Especially when you have no clue...what you are talking about. SUSAN says “Liberalism is a mental disorder’.
