because it violates the principles of federalism . . .

They're going to start fretting about this "federalism" bullsh*t now?

Gay Marriage is not a civil rights issue.

One of the Communist Party planks is to break down the American Family.

This is the same New York Times that editorialized in favor of states rights to discriminate against gun owners. Heaven forbid that our Second Amendment rights don't end at the state line.

For what its worth, there is no "right to marry." Its a privilege and states have always had the authority to decide who gets to have that privilege. Andrew Rosenthal is as obsequious as he is stupid. And DOMA was simply an expression of the country's long-standing interest in affirming traditional marriage is the foundation of the basic building block of society, the family.

No one has been harmed by DOMA.

It was a bipartisan act of cruelty sanity, sponsored initially by Republicans but passed overwhelmingly by both houses of Congress and signed by President Bill Clinton.

"The 1996 law that denies the right of marriage to same-sex couples."

Gays have the exact same marriage rights as everyone else does.

Man...am I off base. All this time I thought the US was founded on Christian principles and, unless I've missed something, most Christian religions are against same sex marriage. Therefore, it would seem to me, if France has what you want, migrate to France. If that doesn't make you happy, find some uninhabited island 200+ miles from any other nation, buy it, and start your own country. Then you can have your own way. Until then, my guess is that most people want to stick with heterosexual marriages in the US.

What the homosexuals are looking for is the financial booty that we give to married couples (in whatever form and however small) to aid the formation and raising of families.

But even more, they want the stamp, the imprimateur of respectabilty and encouragement they feel government approval would give them.

And yet the political leaders of this nation of liberty cannot seem to muster the courage and principle to sweep away one remaining example of institutionalized, government-sanctioned discrimination...

I was just SURE he was goijng to mention 'Affirmative Action'.

Shows what I know...

Whoa now. I want my 2nd Amendment rights restored. This is an enumerated right, stripped away by decades of illegal legislation.

Marriage whether gay straight or polygamous or with animals is not an enumerated right (though it may be in the 10th Amendment, 2 comes before implied 10a rights).

Give me Vermont style carry laws. Then we can talk.

[StonyBurk]

what about the guy on Jerry springer who wanted to marry his horse? Or that other guy who wanted to divorce his wife and marry his TV set. Now that would be true equality if the Govmint would recognize the Jerry Springerites as equal to our mere politicians.

[Old Sarge]

[Varda]

Like others have said, everyone has equal marriage rights. Any single man can marry any willing single woman not his close relation.

Equality isn’t what homosexuals want. They want to change marriage so that the state sanctions destructive behavior.

Discouraging destructive behavior isn’t bigotry. It’s the action of a healthy society. Turning a blind eye to or sanctioning destructive behavior is the action of a dying society. This petulant blogger may get his wish but the society that grants it will be courting it’s own extinction.

Today, Andrew Rosenthal is editorial page editor of The New York Times. In his biography, it is observed, “In 1964, he won the 3rd Grade Spelling Bee at Public School 183 in Manhattan, on the word ‘necessary’” (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/17/business/media/24askthetimes.html?pagewanted=all). On August 14, 2011, almost a decade following Frankel’s thoughtful piece, Rosenthal disseminated the following tweet(http://twitter.com/#!/andyrNYT):

“Perry announce speech. Did he miss a GOP cliche? One fave: Isreal [sic] won’t have to worry about him. As if it ever has to worry about a US prez.”

In the past, I have corresponded with Rosenthal concerning anti-Semitism, the op-ed page of the Times, and grotesque anti-Semitic readers’ comments posted by the Times online, some of which were removed by Rosenthal. Concerning Rosenthal’s snotty Twitter item, I would begin by observing that although he won a third grade spelling bee, he misspelled “Israel”.
