Liar. You took a quote out of context. Try posting the entire two paragraphs Reagan made in connection with libertarianism.
R. Reagan was not a lib, nor did he favor what liberaltsrianism was.
Follows the homosexual agenda talking points word for word. If this guy is truly a “conservative Republican and Christian,” I’ll eat my hat.
Well, "all" seems pretty inclusive, don't you think?
Call me an old fuddy-duddy, but marriage is a gift from God, a holy union between a man and a woman. Any other unions or "partnerships" are not marriages.
Well put.
Dude, I had to abbreviate to "R. Reagan" because the sigline wouldn't hold the full name.
If the food is human feces. What a load of CRAP.
“you are telling them that their relationship (and, by extension, their sexual orientation) is somehow inferior or “not as good” as your own.”
That’s exactly what we’re saying. How in the hell can you compare sodomy, which is an unnatural, biologically useless act, to the love of a husband and wife?
“Not only does the government lack the authority to make or enforce such a claim”
Then the government can have ZERO authority to make or enforce any such moral claim. The government cannot deny bestiality, incest, polygamy, necrophilia, heroin use, the list spirals on. These are all moral judgements.
I’m sick of this ‘separation of church and state’ garbage too. This concept has been so twisted and stretched that now a grieving family cannot put up a cross for their dead son on a roadside. It’s time somebody exposed this fraud.
Here’s a little history course. The Founding Fathers and early Americans based our legal structure largely on the British legal structure, by extension, the Magna Carta.
Allow me to quote.
“John, by the grace of God king of England, lord of Ireland, . . . to his archbishops, bishops, abbots, earls, barons, justiciars, foresters, sheriffs, reeves, ministers, and all his bailiffs and faithful men, greeting. Know that, through the inspiration of God, for the health of our soul and [the souls] of all our ancestors and heirs, for the honor of God and the exaltation of Holy Church, and for the betterment of our realm, by the counsel of our venerable fathers [11 named ecclesiastics], of our nobles [16 named nobles], and of our other faithful men”
So the basis of our legal system directly recognizes God as the inspiration of Civil Law. And not just any god, but the god of the Abrahamic tradition. Were some of the Founders deists, yes. That does not change the facts of the nation’s heritage and what the Founders sought to create.
They never referred to such a ‘separation’. Again, to people like Sheila Jackson Lee, this will go right over their heads, but there is a historical context to the Establishment Clause. That being that certain sects of Christianity were being ruthlessly persecuted across Europe during this period, where Protestants murdered Catholics, Catholics murdered Protestants, and there were a myriad of smaller denominations who were targeted for destruction by both.
The Founders saw this and recognized that the state’s enshrinement of a government church (i.e - the Church of England) was a detriment to the citizens and the faith itself. Persecution was rampant among the citizenry and corruption was rampant among the ecclesiastic and noble classes. But this did not mean they wanted a French style republic, where the revolution devolved into years of terror and desolation at the hands of a madman, where God was pushed out of society along with the priestly class.
This was not very complicated. The Founders clearly recognized that our rights come from our divine Creator, and most of them felt that that Creator was the entity who spoke to Moses and through Jesus Christ. The Establishment Clause was merely a clear declaration that the country was not to have a state church with tyrannical power to persecute others. It wasn’t a license for persecution by Jacobin malcontents! It wasn’t a call to expunge God from every area of our society. If that was what Washington wanted, then why the hell did he dismiss Lt. Frederick Gotthold Enslin from military service for the crime of attempted sodomy? Jefferson wanted him castrated! Sodomy is a very clearly Biblical crime. Its very name is a reference to the Biblical city of Sodom, destroyed by God for (among other reasons) the rampant sexual deviancy between men. Someone please explain this to me!
No Biblical statements on military dorms? No crosses in public places? No prayer for school children? Who the hell thinks the Founders intended this?! No, they would not approve same-sex marriage. They would have found the notion warrant for incarceration.
You can make all the damn appeals you like for this insane concept. By all means, appeal to the United Nations, appeal to the American Psychiatric Association, appeal to your ‘warm fuzzies’ for all I care. But DO NOT appeal to the Founders and the Constitution. It’s not in there. It never was.
I’d post it for you, but I’m in a smart phone and can’t cut and paste. But you know dam well what I asked you to do.
Trolls (probably a retread) like you, trying to link Reagan as a lib piss me off.

Hate speech! /s
“Dude?” IBTZ
BTW, there is no conservative case for Homo Marriage.
Only a very evil, selfish one.
Listen, you foil.
The ‘gay rights’ movement is steeped in ties to CPUSA and pedophile advocacy groups. Don’t believe me? Look up Harry Hay and the Mattachine Society
May God have mercy, the faggotry are now invading FR! I wonder if they are Obama funded like the other scum and villainy who have infiltrated here?
I guess I must have missed that one. Is it before or after “Half-Blood Prince”?
Why thank you. I hope you are well.
This is a flat out lie.

In summary, tradition and science agree that biological ties and dual gender parenting are protective for children.
New Study On Homosexual Parents Tops All Previous Research
The myths that children of homosexual parents are "no different" from other children and suffer "no harm" from being raised by homosexual parents have been shattered forever.
Fine as a frog’s hair. ;)
You ARE enjoying this, aren’t you?
It’s all fun and games. Until the lightning strikes.
Lolol
...yet another new sign-up trying to use the sodomite/gay marraige agenda to nudge FR a bit more to the left...
Are you denying its existence? Do a Google search, you moron. Harry Hay, (a pedophile) founded the Mattachine Society, the first homo ‘rights’ organizations. He was also a card carrying member of CPUSA.
