The MSM are not on our side. At best, charitably, they are on the side of alarmism and sensationalism, both of which make reasoned discussion pretty much impossible. This, of course, plays into the hands of liberals, who dont rely much on reason, their positions being generally thoroughly illogical and irrational.
Well... no.
Actually the government has always been involved with marriages. Or did you think that "bastard" "wife" "husband" and other such words had no legal meaning until the past few years?
In fact the Church Registry was considered a legal document and you could go there and get a copy of your parent's marriage lines to prove that you were legitimately the son of your father.
The federal government has been in the business of marriage and deciding what marriages were legal for a very long time.
It is only lately when people want to re-write the dictionary that they want the "government to stay out of marriage".
It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
Telling the truth about Newt’s green agenda is hardly smearing him. Telling the truth about Newt sucking up to the open borders crowd is not smearing him. Telling the truth about Newt’s big government “solutions” is hardly smearing him.
When you get Romney Nominated, trust me, I’m going to make sure people remember who helped get it done. After all, here you are admitting that your little jihad is nothing but vindictiveness.
Considering that fact that you’re someone who proudly wears the screen name of a progressive eugenicist, I wouldn’t worry too much about the intelligence of others if I were you.
Whether you like it or not, Santorum is NOT presidential material. Period.
I don’t even know how he got in the presidential race in the first place.
Can you imagine Santorum as Commander in Chief?
Just the other day, he insulted 15% of the military personnel who serve in the US army - the women.
Childish? Why don’t you tell that to these five women?
When asked what he thought of the Pentagon’s decision to formally open up combat roles to women, Santorum replied: “It could be a very compromising situation, where people naturally may do things that may not be in the interest of the mission because of other types of emotions that are involved.”
Kim Voelz - Kim, who was part of the Army’s elite bomb squad, was killed at just 27 years of age while trying to defuse an explosive device.
Staff Sergeant Kametra Smith - Last year, Sergeant Smith surprised her 4-year-old daughter at school after returning from home from Iraq. Her daughter almost bursts from excitement, and the homecoming is one of the most heart-warming you’ll ever see.
Robin Roche-Paull Author of the book ‘Breastfeeding in Combat Boots’. Not only is she a veteran of the U.S. Navy, where she served as an aircraft mechanic, she breastfed her son while on active duty. Talk about dedication — to her country and her child!
Sgt. LaJuanna Baker and Cpl. Andrea Moreira-Rios - Baker and Moreira-Rios were approached by a midwife in Afghanistan to see if they would help deliver a local baby while they were handing out “hygiene packets” at a local health clinic. Of course, the two women said yes, and the rest is history. Not so sure a man would have been able to deal with something like that.
Florence Green - Last weekend Florence Green passed away at the age of 110. Her claim to fame? She was the last-known World War I veteran.
That's not an accurate statement. Until the the very first "marriage" deduction in the income tax...the 20th century...the federal government had no role in marriage whatsoever. None. Zero.
The states got involved much, much earlier in which they began to codify existing church norms and add property protections for women and children.
“If we can outlaw smoking in bars, why not in private cars or homes?”
Hello.. Ever heard of the marijuana laws? Of course the government can do it, they’ve been regulating private smoking for decades. People just don’t see the connection, but if you give the government the power to regulate our most private behavior, it’s going to take that power and run with it. Sooner or later, it will be coming for you.
Exactly my point with the comment. FReepers are jumping on board with this stupid attack and calling him extreme while exactly the same goes on every day all around us.
Telling the truth about Santorums endorsements which this country paid dearly for and his reckless big govt record is not smearing him ...it is a fact.
You didnt think twice about spinning on Newt but you dont want anyone to vet Santorum. Cain, Perry and Newt have all been attacked and now the truth is coming out on RS..much more to come before it is over.
Santorum may talk the talk but he doesnt walk the walk. No thanks to a fiscal liberal and I am wondering about him even being the social conservative
Just go lay down sycophant

Lay off the personal attacks if you want to make a point. Do not use the word jihad in connection to my posts on Santorum.
Very unimpressed with your ccp of the same ole same ole. Remember there are very intelligent conservatives endorsing Newt Gingrich. Don’t have to name names becaause you are aware of them all..they are the creme de la creme of not only conservatism but constitutionalist.
Santorum is going down...watch it and keep a box of kleenex near by...Newt will go back up..so you better make that two boxes.
Ha ha! LMBO, some of the very same posters from those threads are declaring the country dead without (their words) RINO Newt.
There are several pages of threads like that. Just do a keyword search of “Scozzafava”.
For an added bonus, take a look at the threads about Gingrich announcing that he was running.
Newt is the only one that is clearly an alternative to mitty, santo, and hussein. If he can get on track again, he'll energize Conservatives and enough Indys to make it happen.
Otherwise, his three competitors are too similar to motivate folks to go to the polls. They'll stay home, the press will blow smoke about the improving economic picture, and hussein will win. Then we will definitely be toast.
Well, can you elaborate on that assertion? Because whether you like it or not, given the latest opinion polls there seem to be quite a few people who disagree with you.
That’s MY OPINION, which is not manufactured by polls.
