‘Bottom line is the definition of marriage is linked to what promotes reproduction and the family. It exists as an institution to promote proper, stable child-rearing. It does not exist to promote self-gratification of a sexual fetish. Believing that doesn’t mean you “hate” anybody. Not wanting to encourage smoking doesn’t mean you hate smokers.’
Well put. Sadly, we live in an age that has given itself over to narcissism as the primary goal.
Palin is anti-gay marriage, nobody is arguing that. But she NEVER talks about it unless forced to answer a direct question, she wastes no political capital on the issue. You look at 100 random Google stories on Palin, not one of them will be about protecting marriage. Again, she is no Obama or Romney, but she is not a Santorum or Bachmann either.
Ever since the 2008 election she has been ignoring the issue as the gay lobby made giant strides in politics and culture.
Vicky Gene Robinson probably had to read the Bible at some point. I’m sure he has an answer, a distortion of scripture, for every question. I only hope that people read the Bible for themselves. I cannot find anything in scripture that states or implies that unrepentant homosexuality is OK, and I’ve read the Sodomite’s arguments.
Vicky Gene Robinson’s deceptions and distortions are straight from the pit of Hell. For example, he thinks he’s OK, because he’s in a committed (homosexual) relationship and doesn’t cheat on his partner. He actually divorced his wife (another sin) to enter into that sinful relationship.
You may want her to talk about it more, but she does it when the subject is in the news, for instance for the 2012 election.
In the few states where the gays have been able to to go to the polls and vote themselves the alleged right to marriage, the people as a whole have been stripped of their First Amendment Rights.
That is unjust.
Suppose a majority of the people in Jackson, Mississippi voted to only permit blacks the right to bear arms and deny all others of their Second Amendment Rights?
Would that be constitutional?
Of course not, and the gay people of Washington State cannot vote themselves a right that in it self denies Christians the right to live in a state where marriage is pure.
It’s not going to matter much longer. The GOP is a dead horse.
One of my pet peeves is the common practice pr referring to homosexuals as "gays". In truth, homosexual perversion isn't the least bit "gay", it's an unnatural practice whose practitioners are anything but gay as the current version of the Mirriam Webster Dictionary correctly defines that word.
To wit
:a : happily excited : merry
b : keenly alive and exuberant : having or inducing high spirits
2 a : bright, lively b : brilliant in color
Does that accurately describe any homosexuals who you may know?
"Yea, though I am wounded, I am not slain.
I'll lay me down and bleed awhile, an' then arise and fight again!"
The ones in Massachusetts and elsewhere get re-elected incessantly while pushing the homo agenda down their constituents throats. Mark Kirk in Illinois?
Why just this point? If we don't PUSH BACK to earlier points, we have as good as lost. Marriage is the Alamo, but we need the entire State.
The fact that many so-called "conservatives" acquiesced to supporting "civil unions," "rights" for homosexuals (totalitarianism against religious people), and just plain indifference toward the encroachment of homo-imagery in the media and entertainment over the past couple of decades is why we are where we are now.
Marriage? We should be fighting in every other area other than marriage. If we could even get Lawrence overturned and have anti-sodomy laws reinstated, the marriage redefinition problem would take care of itself.
If that were the case, they would have thrown out the pro-homo lawmakers who are preventing the citizens from voting on a constitutional amendment. The citizens of a state get what they deserve in politicians, and they apparently don't see anything wrong with the current crew in Iowa.
That said, I think that many states which have had marriage redefinition foisted on them would vote for real marriage if given the chance.
“Vicky Gene Robinson probably had to read the Bible at some point. I’m sure he has an answer, a distortion of scripture, for every question. I only hope that people read the Bible for themselves.

And you won’t find it. It’s ludicrous when they suggest otherwise. There’s no way the original audience for the books of the Bible would have thought that the Biblical books would endorse such distortions of sexuality. They would think our society is insane for doing so.
BTW, I fully understand why homosexuals try to read into scripture something it clearly doesn’t say. Why? Because I was an unrepentant sinner once, too.
I’m guessing a lot of homosexuals are dealing with guilt, so they distort scripture in an effort to justify themselves. It’s a coping mechanism, because the words themselves hurt.
This is also why homosexuals will keep trying to drive all anti-homosexual thought from the public sphere. Maybe they think they’ll finally remove the guilt, the feelings of doing something wrong, if they can only shut us up.
bttt
ENDA is a horrible idea even if it wasn’t related to gays. If you believe in small government, states rights, and freedom of speech and religion then ENDA is the last thing you would ever consider. The GOP voting for VAWA was stupid enough. Do we think that a GOP which will not stand up for states rights and small government in small ways will do so on the big things? We need to lock these liberal fake GOP billionaires totally out of the GOP power structure
Exactly. If homosexuality were really a good thing, they wouldn’t care if there were critics of it or people who disagreed with it or disapproved of it. I’m a Christian and I’m convinced of the goodness and truthfulness of Christianity whether anyone else agrees with me or not. I don’t need the approval or endorsement of others for being a Christian.
Even if homosexualists were able to ban all Bibles and criminalize all disagreement, it will never change the fact that Scripture in its original languages condemns homosexual behavior.
Too many conservatives have adopted liberal-left positions as their own while progressive Democrats move the center farther to the radical Left.
We really need to retire the progressive RINO’s in the next Republican primary election.
these are the same abortion rinos.
