If it were mandatory that both genders play on professional sports teams it would change the nature of the game itself, as does changing the definition of marriage. If marriage is not about celebrating the union of male and female (the potential creation of life) then there's no reason to limit it to two people. It quickly turns into a mere legal document or a subjectively defined romantic notion.

McCain should NEVER be forgotten for his great service to our Country. No politician will be right on every issue. John McCain should not be vilified for having a difference of opinion. He paid heavily for his right to free speech and thought.

We should all stand up for our principals and encourage others to do so, but name calling is childish and alienating all potential allies because they aren't mirror reflections of your beliefs is just stupid. Even the most sincere people are just arrogant and sheep-like if they think they've figured it all out. but hey - Merry Christmas everyone!

perhaps some people are "born gay". it hasn't been scientifically proven, but even if it does happen the fact is that not everyone who says they're gay were born gay. many people become gay after childhood abuse, but you never hear the so-called gay community ever caution young people to get psychological help to determine where the impulse is coming from. no, instead even children are lauded for "coming out" and there are cases of children being supported in getting elective sex change operations: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/6204181/Boy-12-is-having-sex-change-school-annouces.html

Don't forget to add the mean spirited intolerant liberals to the fear list

Trying to elevate the trivial and superficial will never reveal the true nature of anyone or anything. I don't understand why so many feminists don't see how demeaning this is to women. We're being mocked by these erstwhile girly men. Is he going to wear twin sets with pearls, hats and gloves and match his bag to his shoes too, I wonder? Perhaps then a womb will spontaneously generate.

The Israelis have only 10 million passengers, and one main airport. Our 600 million travelers don't all go through one airport. Even with the main hubs in this Country I don't understand why we can't begin training people to do what they do and begin funneling some of our travelers through that sort of process.

The constitutional legality doesn't need emphasis - the problems get solved by appealing to potential voters that may realize that their own interests would be protected when our elected officials follow our constitution.

We should emphasize that we want to protect the hard working legal Hispanic immigrants that are here by sealing the border and keeping the drug cartels out of the Country - That's the way this debate should be presented. The positive needs to be constantly asserted so that Hispanic voters know that they are truly valued here. The majority are Christians, hard workers and family oriented and we need them desperately to maintain our population here.

What atheists always seem to be oblivious to is that saying there is no God is a belief system in itself. It could never be scientifically proven. I just don't understand why anyone would choose a loveless void to believe in.
