    Sure there was, there were even cons that were saying they didn't want their kids playing with gay kids because they were afraid their kids would be gay. Sorry but that is completely irrational. Just because you support those same folks doesn't mean the word is any less accurate.

    Staying on the subject, nothing is permanent. I doubt we'll go back to gay marriage prohibition; but I don't doubt that Americans' attitudes towards it will change.

    I do wonder how the Democrats feel about bringing in tens of millions of people into the country that don't support it. Maybe they figure since they were the ones handing out blankets and soup these Latinos won't oppose them. I don't even know the current attitudes among Latinos regarding homosexual marriage. I assume with the Catholic influence they're not real keen on it.

    I think Democrats are painting themselves into a corner on these social issues by welcoming illegal immigrants that will one day vote for them, or not.

    Sure, we'll use the exact same tactics yall did. But the first step is the hardest. We'll need to find millions of jobless losers with nothing to do but picket and protest. Lucky for you guys, Conservatives are the bread and butter. We're the ones that act like adults and work because we believe in earning what we get. We're the drivers, we're the winners.

    All of you say this when confronted, but that doesn't change the fact 10 years ago, NOONE heard this from anyone in any great number.

    Until the 1960s, the Democrats were the southern conservatives while the Republicans were the northern liberals.

    Abe Lincoln believed that the negro was inferior, but opposed slavery and believed that they should be sent to greater freedom in Africa (an idea which was supported by many African Americans, would have been completely voluntary and had already been done in Liberia).

    Jefferson Davis believed that the negro was inferior and that it was the white man's god given right to enslave them and force them to perform backbreaking labor from the time they could walk until the time they finally dropped dead from heat stroke, exhaustion, dehydration, starvation, disease, injuries or outright brutality.

    Ironically, up until a few weeks ago when it wasn't the law of the land, it was you people kicking and screaming. Funny, however, that nothing has changed. Just remember that if 5 out of 4 votes can make it now, 5 out of 4 votes can break it later.

    I do love your attitude, though, that "noting is ever changing that." That's a very childish approach, but hey, this is your moment to live in.

    I want you to remember that when a true president gets elected and lets it be known that Congress makes the laws, not the Supreme Court.

    I have a better chance at winning the Mega Ball lottery two weeks in a row over that happening. But hey whatever floats your boat, I'm just happy you and your ilk can no longer do (*)(*)(*)(*) about SSM. You and your ilk are getting everything you deserve, enjoy it.

    Molon, when are you going to admit you lied? (I'm guessing you can't) See below again in case you forgot.

    The worst part is that you actually believe that.

    I'm sure that in 150 years, our image will be painted in an even worse light than Confederates are painted now.

    Some gay rights activist will write an article about how gay marriage opposers hated gays and wanted to kill them all out of pure hatred. How we didn't want you guys to have any rights and so on and so forth, and the mention of the president opposing gay marriage will never be mentioned, only that he went above and beyond to have gay "rights" passed by the law of the land.

    History is already being revised against the truth.

    Same type of ********s rewriting things in their favor, different century.

    Maybe you can re-read what I wrote and comprehend it this time. I'll say it again since you obtusely missed it. Try a little harder pal.

    No, but what's bigoted is using that term to call anyone that disagrees with gay marriage a homophobe. Just because I disagree doesn't mean I have an irrational fear.

    I said millions. Only college uneducated progressives and liberals can get those kinds of numbers.

    Trying to deny people equal treatment under the law for no good reason is indeed discrimination. There is no other way to look at it. And you do seem to be very proud to try to do that. Are you trying to tell me you're not?

    Thanks for admitting that Lincoln was a racist. As for your picture, what's your point? Do you have no shame in knowing that the US flag was boasted during racist ordeals like mixed marriage? You conveniently forget about that when you throw pictures up of the Confederate Flag.

    Oh I am, you have no idea. I haven't seen a push back like this since the 60's. All your hypersensitive whining, gay demands, and hair pulling awakened a sleeping giant that's been quiet through all of this. Good job.

    What you fail to see is that equal treatment for you could have been achieved in other ways. Nobody wants to take away the right that you can have the same benefits we have, but infringing on an age old term is not the way to gain a nationwide acceptance. Nor is letting 9 people decide for 330 million when they're not even allowed to make such a law.

    LOL you wrote more than that and that is what I was responding to. Bigger font doesn't make you right, but since you think the size of your font matters I reduced it to its true importance.

    So protest ALL government sectioned marriage if that is the way you feel. But why would anyone care if no one is forcing them to participate in a government sanctioned marriage? Why do even care enough to start a thread on the choices that others make concerning how they wish their marriages to be sanctioned? Doesn't sound too "Libertarian" to me.

    You misspelled "true".

    Thank you for ignoring everything else.

    It was a comeback.

    The U.S. flag represents a country which has had racism in its history. The Confederate flag represents a country that was founded for the sole purpose of defending and expanding slavery.

    The Supreme Court ruled that bans on same sex marriage are unconstitutional. They did not make a law. They are allowed to do that. That's their whole function in the first place. Why is it that you anti-same sex marriage people don't know how the government works?

    And your feelings being hurt over a word are not a good enough reason to deny SSM. You have no right not to be offended.

    Also, none of us are looking for your approval or acceptance.

    Let me guess: you believe that the Democrats have always been the northern progressives and the Republicans have always been the southern conservatives.

    You need to look in the mirror. The fact that you get so upset over a word is beyond hypersensitive. No sleeping giant is awake either. Oh, you guys will (*)(*)(*)(*) and moan for a while, then everything will calm right down. Hopefully, someday you'll wonder why you even bothered. But I doubt it.

    Off course geography and ideology of Republican and Democratic parties has been changing over time but you are going too far by saying that democrats were republicans 40 years ago.
