  • And Obama was giving Mitt Romney crap for having an effective tax rate of 19%…

    Can we say utter hypocrite? (Big surprise – NOT!)

  • And as an extension, what you do with your body is now up to the collective to determine, so you will no longer be having sex at all until the collective deems it an appropriate use. Next, we will begin restricting brain activity to those who are permitted to think.

    The line of reasoning being championed by such useful idiots as MSNBC is truly void. They would be the first ones shut down if their policies come to fruition.

  • So do you want men to be men and women to be women or do you want neither to be neither? It’s really a very clear choice. Women by their nature want to be loved and cherished – Reece has it right. And men want to feel valued as the provider and protector. You want a marriage that lasts – there’s the recipe. It’s pretty simple and straightforward and every good psychiatrist will tell you that’s how it works. It’s not demeaning to either gender that it works this way. Men weren’t meant to be women and women weren’t meant to be men.

  • @SENSIBLE
    By admitting that the act of sex in and of itself is a choice you completely obliterate your own argument. You do not have to have sex with anyone you are attracted to. Period. There is no equivalency between attraction and copulation – one is an urge, the other an act of will. You can be attracted to sheep and recognize that it’s just not right.

    The question ultimately comes down to one of self-control and moral values. You can choose to exercise self-control over your actions (notice that I do not try to mandate controlling attractions) or you can choose to be controlled. It really is that simple and it applies to ALL sexual actions including pre-marital sex, masturbation, etc. Too many people want to pass the buck and avoid the responsibility to control themselves – blaming it on factors outside their control. To have sex is a choice and one which has lasting consequences. To pretend otherwise is immature and ignorant.

    The corollary is whether the choice is moral, and that is going to depend on your beliefs. Christians emphatically believe in the sacredness of sexual relations and the family. Those who favor homosexuality generally disdain both. But if you want to ignore the religious aspect, present some purely sociological net benefit to society from allowing homosexual marriage. No procreation. Higher incidence of STD’s and HIV. Higher suicide rates. The evidence all points one direction.

  • True dat.

  • I’ve often wished for a small hand-held, directional EMP so that I can “zap” idiots who are using the phone while driving. Don’t want to cause permanent damage, just force their device to reboot or shut down long enough to get them back to task at hand.

  • Good Grief, is this the only florist in Washington State? This is so stupid. Businesses have the right to refuse service to whomever they want for whatever – or no – reason. Business is a VOLUNTARY transaction between two parties. If either party doesn’t agree, the deal falls through. That’s business.

    This has nothing to do with rights and everything about forcing the gay agenda down everyone’s throats.

  • Rick Santorum’s Dire Warning on Gay Marriage

    In reply to dannyo.

    TH3BARON – You are giving undue credit to the “gay marriage” movement by equating it to civil rights when it is no such thing. Sex itself is an act – not a condition or right. No one has the “right” to have sex with whomever or whatever they want. Though you may not choose to whom you are attracted, you nevertheless have the choice of whether or not to follow through on it.

    The other completely false argument is that somehow same-sex unions are equivalent to “marriage” in either a physical, legal, or moral sense. They are none of the above and to alter the fundamental definition of marriage to include anything but the legal union of man and woman would be disastrous to the Constitutional right of freedom of religion. Just as we have seen with Obamacare and its mandates forcing Catholic institutions to violate their beliefs regarding contraception, if government becomes the final arbiter and can overrule religion on what constitutes marriage, religion will effectively cease to exist. This isn’t hyperbole, it is reality, for you cannot divorce (pun intended) the fundamental definitions of the most critical institution on the planet – the family – without destroying society wholesale.

  • If the host really does think parents are primarily responsible for raising their children, let her come out and say so. To hide behind rhetoric and accusations, and misuse scripture is hypocrisy incarnate. The only societies that claim children are a “social” responsibility are progressive/communist/socialist societies.

    The dangers in believing that children are a “social” responsibility are multiple. One, it undermines the responsibility for having sex in the first place! Children are a result of sex. Belittling the serious consequences of having sex (like children) is reckless to both participants and society! Two, it undermines the value of children by making them “property” instead of people! Three, it undermines the children’s rights to be brought up by caring, biological parents, which all sociological studies confirm is the best way to avoid societal ills such as crime, school dropouts, teenage pregnancy, drug use, and more.

    If you take children away from their parents in the name of the “greater good”, you doom society.

  • I think that the pool needed to make everyone aware at the onset that both participation and observation were limited to a specific sex. I applaud the father for wanting to go support his daughter, but this seems to me to be trumped up.
