for the sake of the country you live in, stop banging on about Liberals and Conservatives. Both have their failings, but blaming the other side doesn't work
If a government of, by, and for the People concluded to do so, private sanctioning of marriage contracts could suffice, yes. I don't anticipate that happening.
What with the solid, overwhelming public support for comprehensive immigration reform and background checks to prevent criminals and lunatics from buying firearms, it's easy to overlook what must come first on everyone's agenda: There are only 21 days left to shell out $13.79 for Sarah Palin's book bemoaning the commercialization of Christmas. There is nothing sadder than an empty stocking hanging from your fireplace mantle on Christmas morn. (Well, okay, that time it was loaded with caribou poop was a real bummer for Levi.) With rivals Pope Francis and Palin both vying to define the true meaning of the holiday, what are you going to give your loved ones: “Evangeli Gaudium”? Oh sure, the Holy Father's alternative perspective is available for free from the Vatican, but he isn't about to clue you in when it comes to whipping up that festive bowl of moose chili!
There is a compelling interest for society to encourage and support and sanction heterosexual marriage which is why we do so through our laws.
that's a lie, why can't you liberals be honest? If you didn't slander others with lies you would never get your hateful agenda passed
There is a compelling interest for society to encourage and support and sanction two parent families which is why we do so through our laws.
If they are heterosexual, there is no compelling interest for society to encourage and support and sanction homosexuality.
Could you be anymore untruthful? Afghanistan in the rear view mirror? http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/iran-opposes-us-security-deal-afghanistan-21077936 If this is your idea of a rearview mirror, then I shudder to think of what you believe is in front of us. Next, let's address the Gun Control Lie.(Or shall we call it half-truth). http://www.gallup.com/poll/162347/americans-give-guns-immigration-reform-low-priority.aspx The people don't give a crap, it's about jobs,jobs and more jobs. Despite this being the Libs election platform in 2008, it apparently is no longer on the agenda.
Okay. Did you find a different number of Americans wanting better background checks? Is 65% too high or too low? What is your source?
I just gave you a LINK, did you bother to actually click on it? For the majority of Americans, this is a non-issue! Enforce the laws that are already on the books, and get to a Jobs Reform Bill. Middle America is desperately waiting for what it voted for in 2008/2012.
Heterosexual familes, homosexuality offers nothing good for society and our heterosexual species and is not to be encouraged nor sanctioned. I could careless if someone wants to engage in homosexual sex, but it certainly should not be encouraged supported or sanctioned by government or society.
If you can't handle the truth, that is not my problem. The Bush's unmitigated trillion dollar+ nation-building fiasco in Iraq provides the paradigm. The Bushie neocons were desperate to impose permanent US military bases upon the corrupt Maliki who told the Bush to get lost. Iraq remains in a state of bloody chaos as a consequence of the Bush's invasion and occupation, but the American public is already unconcerned about the disastrous results. They've already largely put Afghanistan in the past, as well. If you believe the level of US engagement is going anywhere but down, you're probably still fighting the Viet Cong. You'll have to hope for the sort of apathy Americans now display regarding Iraq and Afghanistan if criminals and maniacs are to continue to enjoy the easy access to firearms you hope for. Americans are overwhelmingly against it. ...... Those "Libs" in your head are certainly wreaking havoc in there, I see. Have a brisk cup of tea and a nice biscuit.
Society is making the determination as to whether it should discriminate in marriage contracts or promote equality. It has opted for equal treatment at an impressive rate. Those who are peeved by that are still free to sulk and bellywhinge, of course. Meanwhile, actual experience in fifteen states and the federal government's ending discrimination does not indicate even one little speck of the sky falling, despite the gnashing of tooth by those in a tizzy over it.
Yes, I read your link and it said nothing about 65% of Americans wanting better background checks. You brought up something about the gun laws lie. And then you prove nothing. You gave a link having nothing to do with what people are saying about guns laws, especially about background checks. Yes, we have a lot of problems to worry about but that does not change what people say about a particular question. Dang, I just read Natty's post. Now he changed my 65% to 89%. Guess that is why you did not what to give a source.
I gave you a source, it's not my fault if you don't want to acknowledge that Americans do not overwhelming see this as THE issue to solve. What do you think the people embraced Liberalism for? Hint: It wasn't for Gun Control or Health Care, it was for the Economy. Liberals betrayed the promises they were elected on, and while they're in power, they want to push and peddle for their agenda.
Oh, so you think that the "gun lie" is not a gun lie but that the public has more pressing problems. Why did you call it a "lie". 89% still want the checks so does it really matter where it is on some list of concerns. Maybe you prefer to ignore what the public wants but it doesn't change the fact that they want it.
That's what YOUR doing. This is like having a grocery list and way down on the list is your son's bag of cheetos. The American Public simply has FAR more pressing matters. Even HC was valued as more pressing. Enforce the Laws that are on the book, I trust our government is at least that competent.
