EXCLUSIVE: Clint Eastwood Signs Brief Supporting Same-Sex Marriage

Breitbart News has learned exclusively that Clint Eastwood has signed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court, supporting the right of same-sex couples to marry. The brief, which will be released later this evening, has signatures from more than 100 Republican and conservative activists. It involves the case before the Supreme Court, seeking to overturn CA's Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage in the state.

A well-placed GOP source provided Breitbart News with an early glimpse of the brief.

Not a surprise, Truth Has Fallen in the Streets.

I’ll never agree that sodomites swapping intestinal sludge is “marriage.”

"Intestinal sludge"?....lol...such an apt, succinct description.

The only thing worse would be "picking bowel boogers"

[ROCKLOBSTER]

...a libertarian

Libertarian: a drug addled, baby-killing, boy-raping atheist.

[CatherineofAragon]

OMG....LOL

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

This is unbelievable.

Not really. This society has killed 50 million babies since 1973. 50 million.

Same disease, different symptom.

“You can literally feel the country slipping away by the hour.”

You’ve got that sick feeling too, huh? I have told my like-minded co-workers that looking at the news sites (I no longer wtach any tv “news”) is like getting a kick to the gut ever.single.time.

You can literally feel the country slipping away by the hour.

It's unbelievable. Like the Soviet union never fell, the commies just came here and are destroying us too.

[ansel12]

Turning your back on G-d at your age, Clint? Bad timing.

Clint is a committed libertarian.

He is not a Republican, he is not a Conservative --- he is a libertarian.

I'll be perfectly honest and you may not like this. My stand is narrow and admittedly intolerant. Politically, I see most things in a binary form without nuance or shades of gray on a continuum. Therefore, if you're not a Conservative both fiscally and morally, you're a liberal. It reduces to the old saw of "you're either for us or against us". I long held the opinion that the smiting of Sodom and Gomorrah by a God of Justice would not have been mitigated one iota if its denizens adhered to a policy of low taxes and a non-intrusive government. Their evil of homosexuality defined the nature of those people.

So there it is, my viewpoint expressed with all candor. I'm sure we have a large degree of daylight in how we see things but tolerance for any aspect of homosexuality disqualifies one from being a Conservative. Ergo, that makes one a liberal. I hope there are no hard feelings between us but I did owe you an explanation for my characterization of Clint Eastwood.

No, he is a libertarian. That is why sometimes you agree with him, and then, sometimes you can't understand him. He is not a Republican, he is not a Conservative --- he is a libertarian.

I'm confused. Is the libertarian position that judges should decide who can marry or voters should decide?

[ansel12]

The libertarian position is to support the homosexual agenda, including homosexualizing the United States military.

Is the libertarian position that judges should decide who can marry or voters should decide?

Neither, you decide for yourself if you want to marry Johnny, Jane, Spot, your favorite chair or your own kids.

You know, I always liked and identified much more with Eric Fleming in “Rawhide.” He was the stern, no-nonsense adult character. The type of character you no longer see in Hollywood product anymore, ever since the whole entertainment industry became so pathetically faggotized.

The best (and maybe only) cure for Hollywood would be a nice, flaming meteor.

[vbmoneyspender]

Neither, you decide for yourself

Then why are they signing an Amicus brief asking judges to decide the question?

[Responsibility2nd]

You’re right, he is absolutely a libertarian. But remember, a libertarian is a liberal. A social liberal.

(see tagline)

[ansel12]

Like famed libertarian Noam Chomsky, Clint Eastwood is a dedicated libertarian himself.

From wiki--"In 1992, Eastwood acknowledged to writer David Breskin that his political views represented a fusion of Milton Friedman and Noam Chomsky and suggested that they would make for a worthwhile presidential ticket.

In 1999, Eastwood stated, "I guess I was a social liberal and fiscal conservative before it became fashionable." Ten years later, in 2009, Eastwood said that he was now a registered Libertarian."

I think they just want to tear it down, any method is okay for that I guess

[fr_freak]

Or coming up with Glenn Beck style bs that the state has no business regulating marriage or saying what a marriage is

We're in this whole mess regarding marriage, and not just the gay stuff, but also the divorce rate and anti-male family courts, precisely because the government did get its grubby little hands on marriage. Now that the government thinks they own marriage, they think they can redefine it, and worse, force you to accept their redefinition. Marriage should have remained, in the eyes of the American public, an institution which belonged to God only and was validated by God only. Now its just another "entitlement" which you buy a license for, like fishing.

I think that you would also love "Wagon Train" and Ward Bond, the early series is even more blunt and gritty than Rawhide in having to deal with the reality and costs of crossing the wilderness during that period.
