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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
support for traditional marriage is where God draws the line
“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.
Freegards
“Those who oppose it fear it will weaken the institution of marriage. 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.”
Michael Barone says, “hey, marriage is trashed anyway, let’s do it in”.
This, after Bill Bennett, this morning, professing to be an educator opining on this with no research. Then professing an opinion that is the opposite of Catholic teaching, and professing to be a Catholic, vocally , this very morning. He is dangerous He professes opinions cloaked as fact.
And Bill Bennett and Barone, here, do NOT understand the consequences.
Do they have any idea what this is doing to the military chaplains?
It IS religious persecutions.
Bill Bennett is a liberal dangerously professing to be conservative. He’s entitled to his opinions and to voice them, but to profess to be conservative and, God forgive him, Catholic - on the air - and to voice an opinion that leads public opinion without studying anything about it.
Dangerous.
Opposition to it also crosses pastry lines.
One of the downstream results of the deconstruction of marriage, sex and gender (and that´s what this is) is that it will become illegal to even favor, advocate for, or try to strengthen, real marriage.
Exaggerating? Not at all. They´ve already shut down Catholic Adoption Services in IL, MA, and CA because they wouldn´t place kids in homosexual domestic arrangements.
They´ve made it a crime (in CA) to counsel a minor towards normal psychosexual development, even if both the minor and his parents have requested help in supporting normal gender identity/sexual orientation.
They´re penalizing anyone offering wedding, marriage, or family-related goods or services --- friving them out of business business if they don´t cater to sexual deviancy.
Gender confusion in very young children is not even being recognized as a problem: it´s a desired feature, even a proud achievement of the new revolutionary gender system!
Who´s it going to hurt?
It´s getting harder and harder to find anyone it isn´t going to hurt.
Watch.
And does Portman think he has somehow 'reconciled' God's express warnings against homosexuality with his need to feel good about himself?
Young people, including many Republicans, heavily favor same-sex marriage. Elderly people, including many Democrats, heavily oppose it.
Proof that the young and dumb can be brain washed and not only on gay issues.
Well duh. We've had two decades of an unending onslaught of propaganda, not to mention outright bullying, until people are afraid to oppose it.
For whatever reason, the Powers That Be appear to have picked this issue a few decades ago and started pushing it (it certainly wasn't the "gays" themselves, since there aren't enough of them). Maybe this is one way to slow down our "surplus" population growth?
Rashi said that homosexual-filled non-Jewish societies were not destroyed by HaShem because at least they had the basic decency not to write out "marriage" licenses for such people. Looks like that deal's about to run out.
There is no organized response to this. The left framese this as liberty vs religious bigots. We shoudl be responding that gay marriage is intollerence against hte religious. It forces people to accept, celebrates, and subsidize behavior they don’t like. But that argument is never allowed in the media because the gay media won’t run it and the religious right is too dumb to try it.
