Then simply change it so that it is that easy. No constitutional amendments and no moral posturing. We dont even have to condone gay culture or sex, just establish equal protection. It would be a type of civil union I suppose, good article you linked btw. If people werent just trying to...

You dont have the right to live in a society free of things you find repulsive. That is not implied by pursuit of happiness in any way. There are millions of Americans. Each American finds something repulsive. If we were to eliminate all things repulsive to any American, we would have...

No such right exists the way you define it.

That quote right there is downright scary. Damn the majority, I dont want to be governed by a mob. I dont care what the subject is, I dont care that I find homosexuality morally wrong, I find your position to be even scarier than than the queerest queer.

Then there is no reason for gov't intrusion into marriage at all. Correct?

Can't two common law spouses just sign a contract between them stating joint ownership of assets?

Not sure why government has to stick its nose in marriage in the first place. Marriage is a moral/religious institution, not a state one. If two people decide their married, as far as I'm concerned they are. I would be in favor of just going back to common law marriage.

That is one alternative, and it might be the most readily available since I dont think the hyper-political media conflict is going away. No, Fox will continue to be conservative and cnn will be progressive. But ideally, they should have been merely investigative reporters. "we report, you...

Eight, while I dislike CNN and MSNBC, Fox News is one of the primary reasons the GOP went south. FNC makes the primary actors in the GOP that much stronger - social conservatives, military conservatives, ect. Remember the 2000 primary? Bush Jr was practically ordained. Even though CNN...

Its because %96 percent of the people are on autopilot mentally when it comes to politics. People on the right in this case (I hate the terms right and left but we'll use them for this discussion) are behaving according to conditioned thinking, so long as we fly the flags high and give...

Most people take it for granted this idea that everyone is playing the partisan political game - that there are only 2 sides and you are one or the other or if not that you are in the mushy middle. All bad assumptions that make discussing politics from a libertarian or even a socialist point of...

I've been posting on this board a day and I can already see that this dsq person isnt worth the time. You can't argue with someone who is intellectually dishonest. The thing is I'd like to discuss political issues with people on the left, I detest groupthink and believe you are only made...

I can't believe that someone would make the argument that we have no right to protest a byzantine and unconstitutional government just because of a wee tax cut.

Ishop, again that is just not true. Why do you guys continue to ignore what happened? The teaparties very early on came more out of the libertarian movement and they were grassroots. Now as I said in some areas and to different extents larger party factions and traditional conservative...

DSQ, from the nature of your post, I feel very confident that you are the nutjob. You seem to be incapable of understanding that there is such a thing as legitimate dissent. That is extremism on your part. Not everyone wants to live in a country where the only rule of law is the mob...

There were no tea party protests during the end of the bush presidency for a few reasons; only 1 of those is blind partisanship, and that is only on the part of a few. A bigger reason is we were in the midst of a presidential election, and the "crisis" seemed to hit most americans out of...
