Having recently celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary amidst all the obsessive determination to tear down the ages-old meaning of marriage between one man and one woman, that glue which which held communities and societies together for eons. My husband and I can tell you that God has used marriage to mold us more into His image--we have learned to love each other in a deeper way than any movie, TV program, or song could portray. In real marriage (the bride and groom kind), you learn to say no to yourself and there's a great joy in that. You can call it by any other name if you want, but marriage between same sex couples is not marriage at all, and I feel a great foreboding over the effect this will have on our nation if it grows.

Rick, I liked both sentences. They both could inspire good political cartoons.

That REALLY gives me indigestion!

I am probably somewhat of a simpleton, but I have a hard time believing that an intelligent man like Herman Cain would even consider a run for presidential nomination if he had actually committed all of the sexual antics he's accused of. He's smart enough to know going in that any past or current indiscretions would be tracked down by a determined and hostile left-wing media. My opinion is that the left does not want a conservative black gentleman running for president. Hence, we have all these women coming forth with accusations--is someone paying them? Do they just crave a glaring moment of media attention? Perhaps we've come to the place where lying has become a "traditional value" and a means to someone's furtive end.

you nailed that one!

Sorry but that's BA- LO-NE Y.

Henry VIII, I know one thing for sure about Cain, he is opposed to abortions, tax-payer funded or otherwise and has called Planned Parenthood a racist organization, which I believe it is.

I agree. Left-wing media may trip themselves up on this one. Cain's my pick and let's hope the Republicans hear the message!

About letting young people opt out. Since 1973 when abortion was legalized in all the USA, over 50 million unborn babies have died in the womb. If allowed to live, the oldest in this group would be at a productive 38 years of age right now, contributing to SS. The Supreme Court's (unconstitutional) decision in Roe v. Wade was like shooting America in the foot. I don't have an answer for opting out, but I do believe that the solid foundation upon which this country was built suffered deep cracks in 1973. Will we recover? I would like to think so, but the many negative consequences of Roe are increasingly crippling our country.

Whatever Buffett may do with his money and however he advises Obama, the devilish part he has played in underwriting abortions negates the rest. Buffett & Obama's radical support for abortion goes beyond reason--they appear to love it. It's interesting that the Bible reveals the devil as one who incites humans to kill their children. It began with Cain & Abel and continues to this day.
