Good and Evil are defined in the Logos of God.. not in the polls of an increasingly confused, ignorant, bamboozled and apostate public. That is simply of sign of a civilization in a death spiral, irrevocably torn asunder from its founding impulse and organizing principles.

You go with your fiction, I'll go with mine.bones.. the gaga man... definitely representative of the Pew Poll.
change in beliefs takes a long time, generations, I have changed slowly over the years when it comes
to my attitude toward the gay community. as a very young person, it was giggled about, and made fun
of, then awareness and education and understanding by me took a long time, now I am happy knowing I
don't have any discrimination toward the gay community at all, but what I haven't experienced in my
life is 'any' of my children or grandchildren being gay, that would be another evolvement for me if
it did happen, so I am ready for that, I will be fine with it.
so, people in government are just people, like all of us, and if any of them slowly changed with the
times, that is understandable as well, they are no different than the rest of us as individuals, but
of course when it comes to party lines, they have to be careful what they say, they are a single
minded group, and will spout the same things in public, irrespective of how they feel in their home
life, with their families around the dinner table discussing issues such as this.

Republicans and Democrats: two ends of the same *****.
No, I'm not. Polygamy isn't legal here.
I'm sure whatever mad paranoid delusion you can come up with, that's not it.
He hasn't imposed his bigotry on us because he can't. If Rick Santorum is elected the next president, he won't be able to overturn this decision either. He shouldn't be praised for being a horrible person just because he can't inflict his horrible ideas on us.
I'm not gay and I don't care about this so called issue. No effect on me one way or another. More important things to worry about than who id tamping whose turds.
Why not, you post silly memes when you can't.
I agree. So I ask, why do you pretend to support gay rights when you think homosexuality is abhorrent?
And you should probably stop pretending you support gay rights. Since you've shown you think it's abhorrent.

I support gay rights and I find homosexuality abhorrent. If you've read the good Book, you'll recall the line "hate the sin but love the sinner"! You don't have to engage in the act to support them! There's ONE thing Pierre Trudeau said that I support - something about the right of consenting adults to do as they please in the bedroom.
