...That has to be the scariest post I have read on Free Republic ever. How do you know how they think???????...

Experience... and just the fact that I am not an idiot :) I have also done my reading and it's all very "calculated," because for the homos and their close supporters... gettting their lifestyle down our throughts is the ULTIMATE goal (actully not... then it comes "bestiality" and other variations like that... ) But this the first one toward "total freedeom.":) - take two women, who look apparently normal... add "THE little KIDS" and they think this will be the ticket to total perversion.

Perhaps them, they think, they will feel "cleaner." But I doubt it.

Ok, I gave you my version, what is yours? :)

not married in massachusets, specifically homosexuals.


IOW a child legally must come into the world with a legally defined mother and father. A legally bound mother to the child and a legally bound father to the child.

Homosexuals are an abnormal lifestyle choice and have no business anywhere around children. Anecdotes are irrelevant. Society rewards institutions not individuals.

REPLY: I see no dignity in violating the principals set out in the bible on how to procreate a child.

You are sadly wasting your time. With even so many FReepers who don't get it, we are surely lost. There are two paths. One is God's way, the other is Brave New World--and worse. The West has chosen the latter, and as a result the future will see medical and societal horrors even Huxley could not imagine.

"Mary Cheney is about to be a single mother with the child's father unknown."


If it's not okay with conservatives for "Murphy Brown" to go down this road, why is it okay with some conservatives for Mary Cheney to do essentially the same thing?

I said this on another thread:

I think we have to separate out the Homosexual Agenda, which is a political issue, from the fact that Mary Cheney is having a baby.

Let's be honest - even if San Francisco was swallowed up by a typhoon tomorrow, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy was cancelled and Barbara Streisand ran off to be a shaven headed monk in Tibet, homosexuals will still be out there. What we as conservatives and (mostly) religious people want is for our faith to be respected and for homosexuals not to confuse tolerance and acceptance. Tolerance means we live with it, even if it is rather off putting. Acceptance is calling for cheerleading - which is bloody ridiculous.

Mary Cheney, to my knowledge, while gay, is not working towards the kind of nauseating agenda we see from militant gay rights groups. We don't necessarily have to like or agree with her choices in life to tolerate her. If her parents have come to terms with it, then perhaps the best that we can do is hope that this is not hijacked for political purposes and let the Cheneys be.

Regards, Ivan

There was nothing wrong in the birth of my two nieces.

Is your brother gay? If not, the situation does not have much relevance here.

How do you later in the child's life explain to them that they were artificially conceived by some anonymous donor?

I'd guess you'd do it pretty much the same way you'd tell a kid that he/she is adopted.

Murphy Brown is a fictional character on television, thus slamming the writers for being liberal idiots isn't actually making life choices on behalf of others. As I say, we may not like Mary Cheney's lifestyle, and by no means should we be cheerleading it, but at the same time, as she's not using it as a political scheme to shove the gay rights agenda down others throats - it's something that is tolerable and should be tolerated.

See post 311 that puts it better than I can.

You either believe the Bible in its entirety as the inspired word of God or you do not.

Your Old Testament Jewish customs are dealt with in the New Testament showing the old has past and the new has come as you would well know if you actually read the book.

There is disagreement between most Protestant denominations (and Judaism) on the one hand and Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy on the other with respect to certain books of the Old Testament that Protestants call Apocrypha and the Catholics call Deuterocanonical. While these books used by Catholic apologists to support Catholic specific doctrines such as purgatory and prayers for the dead, they are a relatively minor portion of their Old Testament even by their admission. The moral teachings of the Old Testament are in the 39 books Jews, Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestant concur as being canonical. All three major branches of Christianity agree on the 27 books that make up the New Testament, along with heterodox groups like the Mormons, Seventh Day Adventists, etc.

At several points, Jesus affirmed the authority of Scripture, which at that time would have been the Old Testament. Citing Psalm 82 in John 10:24-26, Jesus referred to the Psalm as the word of God. Another direct word of the Savior also affirms His view of Scripture. "...until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the Law until all is accomplished." (Matthew 5:18) In the previous verse (Matthew 5:17), He stated that He had not come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it. In numerous cases, such as His confrontation with the devil in Matthew 4, his comments to the Sadducees in Mark 12:24, and in the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24, Christ cited Scripture for moral rebuke, doctrine, and the accuracy of its prophetic writings.

To cite an historical analogy, the ratification of the U.S. Constitution did not make the state constitutions or Anglo-American common law obsolete. While the Federal constitution may have superseded certain portions of the latter writings, they remained valid and lawful, a fact that the authors of The Federalist Papers, who were at the Constitutional Convention and would have known firsthand, pointed out. It would be wrong to say that the U.S. Constitution overruled, say, Pennsylvania's death penalty for murderers, just as the words of Jesus Christ did not overrule the Biblical commandment against adultery. In fact, His affirmation of the whole counsel of Scripture is even stronger than the words of the Constitution, a positive affirmation of its authority.

I believe that God may have a different take on artificially manufacturing a child.

So you are saying the kid will have no soul? Please clarify why you believe we're not all God's children?

I think that you are right on some level that some of the homosexual activists have an agenda, but in the matter of the Cheney's, I believe that she wants to have a family and does not have any agenda. I doubt highly we would be having this thread if she were not the Vice President's daughter. The one area that I can't stand in regards to homosexuality is those parades. How ridiculous! We don't have straight parades why should they?

Murphy Brown may have been a fictional character, but women in real life make the same choice she did and want everyone to say it is fine and dandy and affirm their actions. Conservatives mostly didn't affirm or congratulate such actions back during the Dan Quayle/Murphy Brown hubub, so why are we doing it now?

Trolls...

It is never good.

The fact is Marry Chenny is a single mother. There is no father present equals single mother. Her sex partner is irrelevant.

She might as well be doing the Murphy Brown feminist baby as accessory thing.
