Kennedy likens Vatican stance on gay unions to 'bigotry' (oh, go get a job, you little creep)

Can't some smart FReeper do the math and see what these civil unions or gay marriages (whatever) will cost the rest of us in terms of Social Security and private pensions, not to mention increased health care costs for "risky behavior"? Just to donate blood, I have to answer lengthy and intrusive questions about my sexual behavior, you mean they cannot calculate the increased costs of covering "high-risk" unions when it will cost company plans millions or billions of extra dollars?

[medscribe]

Yo Patrick. Your father is a MURDERER. And what does the Scripture say of murder? Or do you Kennedys only read the Bible when it doesn't interfere with your sex and booze life?

[metesky]

If they legalize gay marriages, little Patches can finally walk down the aisle.

[Neenah]

As of 11:30 central time....

CNN POLL

Should marriage be legally defined as only a union between a man and a woman?

39% YES

61% NO

brb...I have to throw up.

[MightyMouseToSaveThe Day]

Great phrase, Liz, "cafeteria Catholics". I think of these type of people, however, as more of the Mafia type Catholics--sit in church "praying" as a disguise for their evil actions outside of church. They're the worst type of hypocrites--rampant divorce, adultery, remarriage, etc--but they're 'good' Catholics because they donate money to the church and can be seen in church attendance. pfooey. No matter how tightly Clinton held a Bible, he wasn't/isn't a Christian. And no matter how much the Kennedy's proclaim to be Catholics, by their actions, they are decidedly NOT.

[alwaysconservative]

I forgot to say earlier that making the Social Security data on "civil unions" known to the seniors might be the most effective weapoon the pubbies have in the next election cycle.

[MightyMouseToSaveThe Day]

Well, consider the source, neenah--CNN. doesn't surprise me at all. what would surprise me is that anybody might think there's some legitimacy to this nonsense. there's no way i'll believe that nearly 2/3 of our country's population believes in homosexual marriage. no way. utter nonsense

[txzman]

Another NON-Christian shows his true colors.

[Vets_Husband_and_Wife]

Yeah,.. the Kennedy's never liked that little "rule" God made about ADULTERY either!! One day they will get a chance to complain to HIM who made them. I'm sure HE'LL stand there and LISTEN to them WHINE for hours.......


LOL (Oh, How I'd love to see THAT one!!)

[NYer]

The following two items were listed, one after the other, in FR's topics on the right margin.

Was this the next topic - Fire and Brimstone rain down on Minneapolis.

[PawPaw2]

The Providence Journal reported "President Bush raised the issue last week during a rare Rose Garden news conference"

That is a blatant lie. At the press conference a reporter "raised the issue" in a cleverly crafted question that was intended to embarrass Bush. He had three choices: Dodge it, Lie about it or Meet it head-on. He chose the latter option.

[MatthewViti]

looks like Patches is up to his old tricks again.

[hellinahandcart]

On the issue of gay rights, Kennedy said the church has strayed from its teachings.

!!!

Hoo boy. I think I actually passed out for a second there.

Kennedy continued a short time later: "The very foundation of the church is about love,"

It is not about SEX, you dirtbag.

[hellinahandcart]

Is this the Kennedy who was recently quoted as shouting out (drunkenly) I have never worked a f***ing day in my life?

Yep. He's really into service. And humility.

[Snuffington]

Kennedy continued: "I am speaking to you as someone who when I hear the Scripture, I get a very different message of what Jesus was teaching me than what the church seems to be representing."

It isn't remotely surprising to hear that this is how a Kennedy approaches his religion. It isn't remotely surprising to realize that this conflicts with Catholic doctrine. And sadly it isn't remotely surprising that U. S. bishops will remain silent and even happily affirm Kennedy's claim to be a loyal Catholic, ignoring the spiritual harm this will cause to those Catholics who think exactly like Kennedy.

Very sad that our bishops are such pathetic creatures who abandon their flocks to wolves of all sorts so regularly.

[TheGrimReaper]

Update:
Yes - 40%
No - 60%

Some progress, but yes, after all, it is CNN.

He's so low, he has to step up about eight feet when he steps out.

[Liz]

If his father hadn't bought him the RI Congressional seat, only God knows where he'd be today .......probably in rehab.

[Liz]

The deaf, dumb and blind sheeple that voted for the Clintons are bad enough.

The RI sheeple who vote for this creep make my stomach turn.
