Santorum Gets Booed in NH

Nothing of what you just quoted supports your lie that he said God told him so.

No you are just prejudice against anyone who doesn't think exactly like you do.

DADT is dead. Why would it matter? The military can decide what is best for its people.

You can't give me a argument for gay marriage that can't be used by any and all other sexual orientations. That was his point and its mine as well. And considering how you are 0-33 in direct votes and a majority of states have laws against gay marriage you really need to think about how influential your argument is among real people.

 

Wrong again. The 14th Amendment never mentions sexual orientation anywhere in it.

If you were truly honest you would support an amendment for gay marriage not try and bastardize a current amendment to fit you political goal.

 

It doesn't have to. Please tell me where the 1st Amendment mentions political speech in the form of monetary donations. I look forward to seeing that.

 

Would they boo Barack Obama... he too is against Gay Marriage.

By the way Polygamy has the same argument as the multiple women or men.... why do I care.... do consent. Group marriages would be the same.

I for one am for keeping government out of marriage all together regardless of sexuality. Governments should only be doing Civil Unions.

 

bigamous/group marriage is banned because it makes it easy for cults to spring up if its legal and the government gets screwed on taxes if it happens.

incestuous marriage is dangerous to any child that might be born to the relationship.

marriage to animals is in no way consensual on the animals part.

a child does not have the mental maturity to make a decision like that for themselves.


Meanwhile Gay marriage is between 2 consenting adults who love each other and can't even have kids (unless they adopt).
so no, the augments in support of gay don't work for the other marriage types.

 

If God didn't tell him then how would he know how God intended it to be?

Actually, I wouldn't call myself being prejudiced towards people that like to deny rights to gays.

Sure, it's 0-33 but most of those people that are against gay marriage are getting older and the youth support gay marriage. And the Prop-8 in California was passed 52.24% to 47.76% - pretty dang close.

What do you mean by "real people"? Do you mean the people that also support things like the PATRIOT Act, NDAA, DADT? Who are these "real people"? I suppose the 47% in California are all fake people.

 

Who are you or the government to make the claim that polygamy breeds cultism?

Married couples don't have to have children. How about two brothers marrying?

 

Who says marriage has to be between two humans? How about 2 brothers and their two dogs and a goldfish? In fact, who says marriage has to involve life forms? How about a slab of granite and a hunk of cow manure with a cucumber, two human brothers and partridge in a pear tree?

 

When a goldfish proposes to a dog and they write their wedding vows, let me know. Until then, it's safe to assume that marriage involved humans.

 

The press is nothing more than a huge paid spokesperson. Freedom of the press guarantees paid speech. You lose on two levels.

 

This is right on the mark. The separation of Church and State as first propounded by Jesus of Nazareth would have kept this from becoming an issue. As soon as the state sanctioned marriage it became a matter of civil law.
This isn't about peanut butter and chocolate folks. Some things do not go together well. Just look at Sharia law in Islam.

 

The Gamoke is an extremeist but not becasue he is a "Christian" but because he is a Christian extremist. If fact I would almost consider him a Christian Terrorist if there is such a thinng.

 

Are the Lefties avoiding the embarrassing fact that Obama is anti-gay marriage because the black voters are anti-homosexual?

I don't know are they ?

 

With his logic 2 gay men cant get married because that would mean 3 gay men could get married.

However if you say its a man and a women that doesnt mean that a man can marry 2 women. Or a women can marry two men.

He just hates gays and will rationalize it any way he can because of book.

 

Why else would Obama be a bigot?

That was stupid for Santorum to compare same-sex marriage to polygamy...

Not even close to the same thing...

 

I bet same arguments were used when interracial marriage was debated in South back in the days...

 

Progressive is the term. There is nothing "liberal" about the left who put laws in place to tell minorities they have to work less for something whites get.

 

It is not valid point, he was asked if it would be OK for 2 gay people to get married, not 3,4 or marriage with animals, all of those things are illegal by the way. It is text book straw man, and as this video showed this **** is not going to fly with educated people, religious freaks is another case....

 

Can't find better example...

 

Which has exactly what to do with Santorum comparing same-sex marriage to polygamy?

 

That is exactly what that is...

 

So you are ok with oppressing federally, two consenting adaults getting "married"? I don't care if it is illegal in other states or not, that is their progative to vote as those citizens see fit. But the federal government doesn't need to be apart of this oppression. There is no justification for it. Why do you hate the consenting behavior between two adaults so much? Would two dudes getting married harm your marriage? Would 2 women getting married bring down the economy? What is the justification for this ammendment to oppress a group of people?

 

I'm not a fan of booing someone at the end of such an event, just because you disagree with them. I don't see that it is necessary to have such a demonstration of personal disrespect in those kind of circumstances - whether you agree with them or not, they have come to speak to you, and you should greet them and thank them with politeness and courtesy, IMO. 'Booing' a particular statement when it is made is one thing - that's about that particular statement, not about disrespecting the person as a human being.

On the video, he didn't seem to deal with the question and the debate of the issue very well at all though, in my opinion, irrespective of whether I agree with his position on the issue or not (I don't, as it happens, and nor do I accept any validity to his 'polygamy' argument (I don't believe it is logical at all, in fact), but that's not the point). I thought he came across as considerably less than 'statesman-like' when faced with the obvious opposition in front of him, and I would worry slightly if someone standing for the top post in a country can't deal with debate, and opposition from a bunch of students, a little better than that.
