Actually Unions have way too many rights..
They have a right to federal money..
The feds cannot build anything unless they give money to the Unions..
They have a virtual right to federal money.. and to State money on MOST STATES..
Even local money in many municipalities..

Unions have a right to your money.. this outrageous..

Those who only view it as a political issue, maybe some of them.

No one has a right to do what they cannot do.

Marriage has always been attached to male female relationships since Sodom and Gomorrah.

According to everyone in favor of it that I hear, the rationale for it is that “people should be able to marry whom they love”

In some cultures, who one loves has nothing to do with marriage. It has to do with establishing family ties and/or with begetting children. It also has to do with respecting and ennobling each sex with the intimate interaction of the other in a way that homosexual relationships just can’t do.

The physical, psychological, hormonal, brain structure complementarity (or differences that help the other to grow in their specific human nature) just isn’t there in the same sex relationship.

There are reasons that homosexual acts have been condemned to a greater or lesser extent historically.

Does not mean that we have to hate homosexuals or deny them equal rights. Prohibitions against marriage do not deny any homosexual their basic or equal rights. Any or all of them can marry a person of the opposite sex, just like a heterosexual.

Yesterday I said that it appears 0bomba is the mayor of Sodom and Romney is the mayor of Gomorrah.

How the GOP expects millions of people to vote for Robomney is beyond my comprehension.

BTW what do you think of this? Is it accurate? I don’t know how to post videos. I will watch it in a bit, am s’posed to be doing something else right now.

Unbound delegates may be a diversion of “the” point..
Republicans do not want a conservative..

They rejected all of them.. one by one sometimes not so “nicely”..
Republicans generally may be ...some kind... of corrupt..

They seem to WANT to run the inventor of Romney-care agianst the inventor of Obama-care..
To want differently is to want what republicans do NOT want..

The question most republicans refuse to ask themselves IS.....
Are YOU a republican?..

** Instead they mouth some cliche’ or mantra about what the republican party should be.. instead of what it IS.. Of course the voting mechanizm could be broken or corrupted.. But if it is (or not) the same question should be asked.. Many republican women are as effected by propaganda as democrat women are.. not all but many..

I think perhaps you are seeing through jaundiced eye - historically, lukewarm milquetoste RINOs lose. Conservatives win. So many people - Rs - were not going to vote for McCain, not beacuse he’s conservative, but because he ISN’T. But once Palin was veep, the enthusiasm grew - becaucse of her. And she IS a conservative.

I think you underestimate the millions of people, Rs and Independents, who are waking up and want a real constitutional conservative.

[ I think you underestimate the millions of people, ]

Or...... you’re over-estimating..

Occams LAw says we have now the Givernment we want and deserve..

I say, republicans have now the givernment they want and deserve.. in the House and Senate.. and probably the Supremes.. Kennedy and I think Breyer was selected by republicans.. the treasonous icehole, Bastiges..

Really? Is that why late-Georgian Parliaments were full of rotten boroughs and sinecure seats? I think not. I don't think you can say that England had the Partliament it "wanted" and "deserved". Otherwise, the English would not have reformed Parliament at all, but would in fact have been content with a 100-year continuation of Cromwell's loathed "Long Parliament".

Instead, Cromwell told them, "In God's name, go!!"

Kennedy and I think Breyer was selected by republicans.. the treasonous icehole, Bastiges..

Anthony Kennedy was appointed by either Reagan or Bush. Reagan, I think. AJ Breyer, though, was Bill Clinton's first appointment.

The GOPe would surrender on just about every issue if they thought it would make the leftists like them.

I don't think that's the case here. Gays have a ton of money, and they spend it on ..... their perversion and its political agenda.

They're determined to drown opposition to their agenda in homodollars, PR techniques, and if that doesn't work, intimidation and extortion.

They're very fond of going after the income sources of people who refuse their overtures. A softer version of the "bread or lead" overtures of South American narcoterrorists.

When the people become corrupted can the givernment be far behind?..
They may be mirror images of each other..

England is corrupted by a socialist system because the people are corrupted not the other way around..
same with Nazi Germany, Russia and Italy and Japan in the early last century.. and did I mention Canada..
Look at South America.. and Africa is and remains off the hook..

The American people seem to be corrupted.. not the givernment..
Obama seems to be just punishment for murdering our babies..
How did it happen?... Giverment controlled education I suspect..
It didnt happen over-night... America has been methodically brain-washed..
The “people” are corrupt.. the givernment is the tail wagging the dog..

The solution would be get the federal givernment out of the education business..
And State givernments too as far as possible..
It could take many decades.. if even its possible..
