God did not create Adam and Ralph.

[Kaslin]

Or Eve and Carol

If this is Antietam, how about making sure McClellan pursues Lee back to the Potomac and beats the snot out of him this time rather than letting him get away to fight another day.

The moral outrage over this incident doesn't jibe with the DEAD silence of all the punditry when DADT was killed in the middle of the night with no fanfare protestations. The repeal of DADT was Shiloh, Antietam,Gettysburg and Appomattox all rolled into one.

Why does Limbaugh freely talk about this but NOTHING when DADT was on the chopping block, Rush is full of crap on this.

[Jimmy Valentine]

This is not Antietam, this is Gettysburg on the third day.

The enemy is charging the bloody angle. They will fail, fall back and the tide of socialist perversion will begin to recede.

November will tell the tale. Take heart people, they will not win.

Same-sex marriage may yet be a bridge too far, even for a dying Christian America.

Sadly true...

But Obama may also have just solved Mitt Romney's big problem: How does Mitt get all those evangelical Christians and cultural conservatives not only to vote for him but to work for him?

He won't.

An 'evangelical Christian' will NOT be voting for evil; even though it is the lesser of it.

We will NOT give even a INKLING of 'approval' to a man who is deceived by a 'religion' that makes the unfounded claims that MORMONism does.

It IS a long way ‘til November; isn’t it!

Genesis 19:4-5, 9

4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."

 

⁹ “Get out of our way,” they replied. “This fellow came here as a foreigner, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.

[who knows what evil?]

An 'evangelical Christian' will NOT be voting for evil; even though it is the lesser of it.

You are absolutely right. He will have to rely on the 'lukewarm'.

[Lurker]

Which one of those two did God not create?

[Reo]

Game On for sure. I think Pat just stumbled on The Kenyan’s Lost Order #191.

Once again, "Rush is right". Although both of the two issues relate to homosexuality, they actually are very different. DADT was a "creation" of Bill Clinton to get him a pass on an issue that he had promised his gay and lesbian supporters that he would deal with, but that he had not emphasized at all during the run up to the election. When it was the first item on his agenda upon taking office, the public was surprised and outraged. In 1992, the view of the general public was not as accepting of homosexuality that it is today. Clinton had to do something to have it both ways so he came up with DADT.

DADT was not a law passed by individual state legislatures or by a referendum by the people in those states. After the vote in NC on Tuesday, a total of 30 states have now made it clear that they view the term "marriage" to be appropriate only for unions between one man and one woman. The likelihood of getting enough states to ratify a same-sex marriage amendment to the Constitution is almost nil. A Supreme Court that would overturn a law that has been passed by 60% of the states would demonstrate that it is making a political and not a constitutional decision, although Pat is right that another pick by Obama would create a court that would have the audacity to do exactly that!

Many people do not realize that ANY sexual activity outside of marriage, whether heterosexual or homosexual, between members of the military is against the UCMJ because it disrupts unit cohesion. The primary purpose of the military is to fight wars, not serve as an incubator for social experimentation despite the desire of the liberals to use it as such. IMO, homosexual activity is potentially more disruptive to a unit because of the lack of privacy in the military where members of the same sex sleep in the same barracks, shower in open showers, and are crammed on in bunks stacked on top of each other on a ship or in a submarine.

On this issue Rush is/was a coward and a phoney. So was Fawn Vannity and Glenn Belch for that matter...

Why in the world would we want to support the guy who was responsible for Fort Sumter?

[srmorton]

I proudly voted for Newt and Amendment 1 in NC on Tuesday, but neither will be on the ballot in November. As the daughter of a minister, I have believed in Jesus since I could talk and the experiences in my 62 years of life have molded me into what I would call an evangelical Christian. I regularly participate in intensive Bible studies for women (Beth Moore is my favorite), I have sung in my church choir for years, and I brought up my children in Sunday School and Church. Mitt Romney is NOT my first or even second or third choice for the Republican nominee (in fact, I am one of those who believe Mormonism is by defintion a cult), but I will NOT be part of giving Obama a vote by default by refusing to vote for Mitt. The damage Obama has done to this nation in four short years is unbelievable and he can not be given the freedom to do even worse damage because he can not run for office again.

[Travis McGee]

Amen, sister. I am with you on that 100%.

[Scoutdad]

Thank you. Well spoken. Romney’s toes need to be held to the fire. If he doesn’t measure up, hit him with a strong primary challenger. But we simply cannot allow 4 more years of O.

[Past Your Eyes]

Substitute Meade for McClellan and the situation is much the same as at Antietam. We don’t need two more years of war when it should be finished off now.
