On Thursday’s The View on ABC, during a discussion of Laura Bush’s recent revelation that she disagrees with her husband on the issues of abortion and same-sex marriage, normally right-leaning co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck voiced agreement with the former First Lady, but also used a surprising choice of words as she recommended that conservatives talk to gay couples about the issue rather than "hating" about it. Hasselbeck:
I think there are a lot of, maybe, conservatives out there who are talking about gay marriage and not necessarily with someone who wants to have gay marriage or has been in a gay marriage. You know, I had Melissa Etheridge over, we had dinner, we talked for hours about gay marriage, and I would really challenge people: Get out there. Instead of just talking about it and hating on it, actually talk to someone who’s loved someone else and have the conversation about what can be done...

Sorry, I don’t know anything about the hags on The View. I would just as soon never see any of them again...except maybe Elizabeth. At least she’s cute, in a ditzy kinda way.
Where’s the “I wish *these* were brains!” picture?
My bet is most conservatives could care less about homosexual unions/marries save that with the Government involved, the most depraved receive special treatment. Erase that "protection", the issue goes away.
Oh, and quit falling into their "new speak" crap. They are not "gay", they are homosexuals and they hide behind the "gay" moniker. Government (even Conservatives) are complicit in painting a "happy fun time" by using "new speak".
She’s simply yet another woman who believes that she feels she knows what’s best for everyone, emphasis on “feels”.
God forbid someone suggest that you actually bother to get informed about a topic before you go off at the mouth. It’s amazing what you’re able to learn about other people (and even yourself) when you learn instead of just spewing ignorant BS.
Oh, I don’t watch the show, I think I heard about it on the news.
Hasselbeck is being so naive. To equate “love” with sexual lust? To adopt Marxist language that is an oxymoron: gay marriage? What is that? That concept is bizarre and destructive to civil societies which want to create a future for their children.
There is a natural reason to unite one man and one woman and any other definition of marriage is obscene and will make the word meaningless. Christianity’s definition of marriage has made the most profound and successful societies on earth. Undermining Christian philosophy (Marxism) only creates moral morass because you destroy human dignity and human worth—such as the importance of sex in relationships for the sake of children and a future.
Does she not love her children? Does she understand that true love has nothing to do with sexual urges and sexual lust? Does she think that love means you have to have sex with someone to truly love them? What an idiot.
She is reducing the most profound human feeling into selfish, nihilistic, lust-filled sexual acts which all homosexual practice does. It reduces sex to a commodity...makes sex meaningless.
Think of what kind of Marxist, atheistic world you are trying to create for your children. Read the “Brave New World” and that is what you will get with this ugly, repulsive camel’s nose. We are talking about creating a society with absolutely NO human dignity and no freedom of religion.
Exempting Christian sexual morality from humanity puts us right back into the orgies of “pagan” Rome where homosexuality was practiced and condoned for centuries and where children were sacrificed to the gods. Come on, Hasselbeck, we can not reduce ourselves to a society who is only interested in pleasuring oneself. It will always destroy the society in the end.
Just polishing her liberal credentials to save her job.
When we stop giving celebs mindless rantings meaningful consideration, they will finally shut up.
When you spend so much time with liberal harpies, some of it is bound to rub off on you. She’s obviously suffering from the Joe Scarborough disease.
I have clue why people pay attention to these yentas.
Homosexuals have been “informing” us and our children 24/7/365, for the last 50 years.
What more do they need to tell us?

I guess I’m too old and inflexible to change my views on queer marriage even if you could show me that God did.
The love that dare not speak it's name is now the love that won't STFU.
The Democrats increased the child tax credit from $1000 to $1500 in the stimulas bill. The marriage penalty was removed with the Bush tax cuts. No one should get welfare for being married or for having children. Period.
A married couple with 1 kid and with my salary pays $5500 less in taxes. Do they really deserve $5500 more om my labor in the form of government welfare? Entitlements are entitlements. That’s my labor. I want to keep it.
True dat.
I've been saying this for years. Government has no business in the marriage business.
