So I guess it’s safe to assume that if Portman’s son was born with kleptomania he would decide that stealing was acceptable?

A prostitute will do anything for a dollar and a vote.

Homo "marriage" is now the number one issue in America. Jobs and the economy mean nothing without allowing men to marry other men.

sarc/ People in this country need to get a life.

>>>He wrote that on learning that one of his sons is gay he “wrestled with how to reconcile my Christian faith with my desire for Will to have the same opportunities to pursue happiness and fulfillment as his brother and sister.”>>>

I hope Will’s desire for happiness doesn’t include robbing a bank or Portman will claim he has the right. After all, we are ALL entitled to be happy.

The new moral standard is "whatever floats yer boat".

Just “un-friended” my fourth person on Facebook because of their support for Homo-Hitching.

Portman is a dumb ass. His son had that opportunity but decided to follow another path. So now we have to change everything to accommodate his flaming son.

As I have said before;
Situational Morals, same as Situational Ethics. Unacceptable in my world but very common in the political arena.

Nonsense. He didn't wrestle with squat! He hid this from the public during the campaign, got elected, and then crapped all over his constituency.

You can't wrestle with what the Bible says . . . it is quite clear . . . he should have suggested that his son get counseling with either church or secular advisers, and hoped that his son would get out of this dirty, filthy lifestyle that will probably do him in by the age of 39 or 41.

Portman is a liar and turncoat. Once again, Ohioans have a gun to their head to either elect the wishy-washy lying Republican or the alternative.

My God. When will this crap stop?

To the degree America accepts something God calls an abomination, we’ll find a reciprocal degree of God’s rejection of us.

Strangers are devouring us while we watch.

Until the day comes that two men or two women can produce a child the way nature intended there is no such thing as sodomite “marriage”. Who in the hell would have ever thought this country’s politicians would stoop so low as to try and circumvent what marriage means. These lowlifes have let 2% (if that), control their lives and it’s pathetic and sickening. But, we must never forget that it all starts at the top and when the lying ass, self-promoting liar-in-chief, opens his dumb-ass mouth and says he believes in sodomite “marriage”, the immoral stooges in Washington follow suit. Elections have conseqences and turning this country into another Sodom and Gohorrah is the result.

It's more like 1-1/2%. But it's being shoved down our throats on TV, movies, music, ads, etc. And who's really surprised that our Kenyan-born, illegal alien resident of our White House endorses faggotry, when he himself has been involved in bathhouse sodomy in Chicago.

Portman has put a gun to our heads again with the old pitch, "Gee, if you don't vote for me, a wishy washy liar and turncoat, then you might get that Democrat over there. So you gotta' vote for me, ok?"

I am so fed up with the Boener, Portman, McCain, Dole, Graham, LaTourette filthy lying politicians destroying what's left of our party.

What did people think when they watched politicians start saying that they are adopting a more libertarian view, or that to win voters conservatives must become more “libertarian”, what do they think “libertarian” means as a replacement for “conservative”?

You can’t just come into the republican party and say let’s be pro-homosexual because we are “liberal”, of course not, you have to use a new vocabulary, you have to convince people that the founding fathers created it as a right, that it is noble and enlightened to accept it, more intellectual and sophisticated.

“And the 30 states with such constitutional amendments could repeal those amendments by popular vote.”

They range from MS with 86% in 2004 to SD and CA with 52% in 2006/2008. Some are are probably repealable now, the majority are probably at least 5-10 years away, some even longer.

“But so far I haven’t seen evidence that extending marriage to the 3 or 4 percent who are gay has weakened the institution nearly as much as the much larger number of Americans who get divorced or have children without getting married at all.”

The difference is that the issue of civil divorce and remarriage was never framed as a ‘civil right’, so those faiths that never bought into civil divorce and remarriage were not punished. Same thing with having children out of wedlock. ‘Gay marriage’ is being framed as a civil right, as a tool to punish those faiths who don’t let the state dictate the definition of marriage.
