    I did not endorse or condemn gay marriage. I am having trouble seeing your allegation of my hypocrisy holding any water.

    That is because you are usually the last to see your own hypocrisy.

    You want the state to endorse gay marriage just like the state now endorses heterosexual marriage. Why should the state endorse any sexual union? This sort of self righteous attitude toward certain sexual unions, or just the fact you are sexually active, is sickening.

    I am thinking....yep..... A practice that if followed by the entire species would lead to its extinction is still abnormal. You can have as much sex with men as you want, no one will persecute you, but it is still abnormal. Being born with a defect that will inhibit your ability to spread your DNA is not the norm. 97% of people aren't born with it.

    Republicans are pro-business. That's why.

    There's no basis whatsoever for the claim of cultism.

    And extreme? That's such a strawman. The RINO's are dem lite, while the libertarians are Constitutionalists. Nothing extreme about that.

    You know, I read your posts and just laugh.

    The govt has no place in social issues. The Left is heading commie and the right is heading libertarian; as the founders intended. Quite a contrast.

    The social issues and your voice (my old friend) belong on the state level, not the federal. That's how our govt was set up and rightly so.

    No.

    But you do have to love people who can't think for themselves and believe every little blip they read on DU or Salon.

    It's why we laugh at them.

    Libertarianism is the original conservative stance. Although it's called classical liberalism (at the time it was a liberal move away from monarchy and toward self-determination and individual liberty TO SUCCEED through one's one hard work) it was and is a stance of small govt which is limited to the bounds of the Constitution and is fiscally conservative and socially non-attendant as those issues are rightfully and appropriately the purview of the individual states. It's most definitely NOT about legalizing drugs. The Libertarian party stance is that drugs are a societal issue and the right of the individual states to address.

    I'm sad that you (as an old friend of mine) don't know what the libertarian position is. I hope this clarification helped..
    I'm socially moderate to conservative, but the federal govt has no business <NONE> in those matters.

    The federal govt is bloated and greedy and uses climate, social issues, and usurpation of it's constitutional authority to impose tyranny on us. That is WRONG and the reason we're so in debt and losing our rights and liberties more and more each day.

    They left because of RINO traitors.

    The D party is losing the youth vote and it is significant. Have you seen the polling on this?

    Can you qualify this statement with something to back it up?

    The Govt. has no business whatsoever interfering in Sexual Unions between consenting ADults- If two fruitcakes choose to cohabitate, and share their domestic accommodations they should be afforded the same protections and liabilities as normal people

    Either through an Exodus or through attrition as the base eventually dies off.

    Once the youth sees the cost of Obamacare on their shoulders when they are just starting out in life they will waken to the lefts crap.

    Why do we need state sponsored protections and liabilities for having sex? Do you people require free rubbers or something?

    Possibly - but I believe our next president will be a Republican, a which time the Left will blame all the chaos caused bu the Obama Regime on the Republicans - they don't have George W.to kick around anymore !

    On the far Right, referring to what they do as "cultism", is actually being 'gentle'.

    Yep. It is happening, even if undetectably so by the lay-extremists. They will inadvertently find themselves on a sinking ship.

    Lemme see, who is it that rails against "moral relativism" all the time? Yep, those are some rock hard unshakeable principles of right and wrong the conservatives have.

    Trending in the low 20%'s, almost 10% less than 10 years ago. Trending down since then. Independent leaning on the rise and the pull is more from republican than democrat.
