Yeah, and get off riding that donkey of yours under the guise of protecting capitalism and the free markets!
ALL: See this just posted: Bain Capital - Paragon of Capitalistic Virtue Donates Mostly to Democrats
It's "everything-that's-legal-is-moral" venturers like yourself that wind up defending...
...legal abortion...
...legal (in certain states) same-sex "marriage"...
...capitalistic corporations supporting Planned Parenthood & homosexual activist groups...
...etc.
LOL, and it's those ‘I envy those that make more than me’ socialists like you that end up defending the Killing Fields in Cambodia.
Now that I matched you in silliness, here's another fellow that agrees with me. Does he defend those things you list because of the same reason?
Asked whether Romney’s corporate takeover experience at Bain Capital would be a liability, Santorum said: “I’m not making it a liability. I believe in the private sector.”
Rick Santorum declines to hit Mitt Romney on Bain
Unlike valueless Noot apparently.
On that subject...
I fully believe that states should set their own marriage laws as long as they don't try to tell the feds how they must define marriage, consistent with DOMA.
I believe in traditional marriage and oppose SS marriage, but I don't want an all powerful Republican federal government forcing the temporary power opinion on states. Some clueless Republicans still cant figure out that a Democrat POTUS someday will use that power and precedents for his own means, as Obama does now with Obama-care. DUH
I just read a blurb tonight... I’m bleary eyed and don’t remember where. May have been the Washington Post that said in California they are trying to get DOMA ruled unconstitutional.
Hilarious. Newt would make quick work of Bammy Boy and the lib reporters who pimp him. I am voting Newt in the upcoming primary.
Looks like Mormons consider themselves chosen. Much more chosen than the Jews. The Muzzies are on the largest ego trip with their false prophet and such. Joseph Smith prophet, eh?
I try to follow this stuff. Some plaintiff groups are suing to have DOMA ruled unconstitutional. This liberal site page Overview: The Six Current DOMA Lawsuits lists 6 of those suits in a table and gives their current status in the courts below the table. The page itself doesnt give their pro-SSM opinions, just the statuses.
Obama who lied from day one about opposing same sex marriage announced late last year that his justice department would no longer defend DOMA in court against these lawsuits even though it is a real federal law. So Boehner announced the house legal department would defend it in court challenges.
Back in 2004 there was a debate on proposed constitutional amendments regarding marriage. Republicans never could agree on what they wanted but I remember liberals and RINO on TV claiming DOMAs would not be overturned by the courts, the same liberals who want it overturned now.
A nice simple clean amendment codifying DOMA would have been the best choice, but some insisted on banning SS marriage outright (a death wish), others wanted nothing. So they did nothing. That is how the Republican party doesnt work.
DOMA was passed in 2006 by a Rep congress and signed by Clinton. It is a common sense law.
On that point, Romney was absolutely right.
Thank you for the link.
But DOMA says the Federal government only recognizes opposite sex(Normal) married couples when giving benefits, It still treats those legal arrangements as preferred to the newer SS arrangements made in liberal states.
If libs and libertarians don't like DOMA they should have tried to repeal it in 2009 and 2010 under Obama. But they wouldnt because they would fail and then be held responsible. Likewise Republicans need to stop the phony constitutional amendment promises to ban all SS marriages in all states (over-ride state laws) because they know they will never succeed.
The fact that citizens choose to live in a state that doesn’t have legal SS marriage, is a way of holding the line if they ensure that their state does not legalize it.
I chose to live in Georgia and I am thankful that there isn’t a massive push for this in my state. When I moved here, I knew the culture that I was moving to and how it would shape my life. That was one of its chief attractions.
We hear all the time of people getting fed up with their state legislatures, the changing of the laws to suit the leftists, the culture that is closing in on them, and their loss of freedom. Out of frustration they pack up and move to a state that better suits them.
It really does matter to most people which state they live in. We are fortunate that we started out as thirteen colonies and then became individual states. The freedom to move to another state where we can start a new life and live the way that we feel is best, is one of our greatest blessings.
