    Marriage is not and should never be bound to religion.....There should not even be a legal institution of marriage.

    LOL. There is no other side. The other side is this idea that we should impose religious beliefs on everyone.

    I'm pissed, I'm unemployed and I'm outraged. Fox News hit's the nail on the head with this one: the media is socialist.

    My roommate and I might get married, just to get the benefits. A friend with benefits. Separation of church and state.

    Yes and Jefferson had Congress import 20,000 bibles to distribute to its citizens. So much for separation of church and state. Laws were in place where you had to be Christian to even hold public office. So much for separation. After 9-11 the Congress and Senate I believe sang God Bless America on the steps outside the Capital. So much for separation of church and state.

    some of the founders owned slaves too, used the bible to justify it... were past that, America doesn't endorse any one religion over another... we believe in religious freedom for all Americans

    if America is ever taken over by the religious zealots, there will be no freedom for anyone, no mater the belief

    if Romney order 20k Mormon bibles, do we become a Mormon nations?

    The facts are there….even if you wish to ignore them. There is no separation of church and state…..NONE MENTIONED ANYWHERE. It only appears in left wing radical humanists minds….and well I agree with what Michael Savage said….Liberalism is a mental disease. :)

    Do make comment on the examples I gave please. If we were anything other than a Christian nation….and there was set in stone this separation of church and state…WHERE WAS IT…..and WHERE WAS IT RIGHT AFTER 9-11?

    well people would be able to do one more thing marry the same gender that would make us more fair and would give a bit more freedom to some while taking no freedom away save for the fredom to deny that fredom based on nothing but prejudice

    thats how america can be more free with gay marrage

    And how about this?

    Hetero Americans spend billions on female prostitutes who will give them anal (ie "gay") sex.

    Are they worried gays are getting it for free?

    first, his support is far from an overwhelming proclamation or absolute law, only his personal view. second, "gays" can adopt. third, you sound quite foolish when you tell us your not getting a job until a certain person is in the presidency, first Romney has a marginal chance at best of winning, the election is all about money and our president has plenty. So why would you put yourself in the category of those who don't produce?
