    Yes to things the left tried to do; n secret exposed and deleted for the evil that they were.

    Oh and neither the word gay nor the phrase don't say gay appear anywhere in the bill.

    When I said list them I meant "list some of these work arounds". And why do you have a problem with SSM?

    Civil unions were tried, fundies objected to them because they were too much like marriage. Why do you have a problem with SSM?

    Obviously you don't understand the subject in the least.

    If you did, you would know that all of those people I mentioned are fellow travellers with the communist cause, or outright communists themselves.

    And of course those are just the tip of a very large iceberg.

    So, rather than admit you know nothing - you say it's a "bunch of crap". Eloquence isn't a strength of yours either I guess ;)

    More Heinlein quotes:

    "Democracy can survive anything except Democrats" ~ Robert A. Heinlein

    "It is a bad sign when the people of a country stop identifying themselves with the country and start identifying with a group. A racial group. Or a religion. Or a language. Anything, as long as it isn't the whole population." ~ Robert A. Heinlein

    "The police of a state should never be stronger or better armed than the citizenry. An armed citizenry, willing to fight, is the foundation of civil freedom. That's a personal evaluation, of course." ~ Robert A. Heinlein

    "The United States has become a place where entertainers and professional athletes are mistaken for people of importance." ~ Robert A. Heinlein

    "There are no dangerous weapons; there are only dangerous men." ~ Robert A. Heinlein

    "A managed democracy is a wonderful thing... for the managers... and its greatest strength is a 'free press' when 'free' is defined as 'responsible' and the managers define what is 'irresponsible'." ~ Robert A. Heinlein

    Dear gods but a lot of people who are convinced that the world is out to rob them of “rights” by talking about past slavery and gay people should read the above, take it to heart and actually learn from it

    The more I studied JFK, the more I came to respect him.

    Didn't initially see him that way though, as his father was a complete scumbag, he was steeped in the Eastern Establishment corruption, and kissed the ring of obedience to get into office.

    Once in there, however, he began to stand up to the power brokers. His "secret societies" speech was definitely a shot across their bow; pulling troops out of Viet Nam, and firing Allan Dulles as Director of the CIA were the final straws.

    The only way to kill off the Establishment is to do what Augusto Pinochet did in Chile when he saved that country from a communist takeover - i.e. move swiftly, and cut the head off the snake before they can react.

    Kennedy wasn't positioned to be able to do that. Firing Dulles might have felt good, but in the end Kennedy was assassinated and the beast lives on to this day.

    It amazes me that some leftist posters on this website don't understand that the following quote fits the leftist progressive machine perfectly:

    "It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so.and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics.”

    They think it applies to conservatives, but they totally miss that it is 100% the progressive method.

    I find it so ironic that almost everything they accuse conservatives of, they are even more guilty of. It's almost like psychological projection.
