The Church of Scotland is where a number of U.S. Protestant denominations are headed. It isn't Christianity.

No, they don't.

Your problem, pinenee, is that you are no more connected with reality that "Professor" Sragow.

I think that this article is jumping the gun. The states are not going to adopt what the writer calls gay marriage one by one unless we roll over. We don't roll over; we recharge. The current state of affairs reflects a set of legal arguments that is not sufficiently infused with why traditional marriage should be protected. Stop writing and talking about "gay marriage." Unlike traditional marriage, homosexual partnerships cannot procreate and cannot provide the optimum family structure for raising children -- with a father and a mother. There is no denial of equal protection and no discrimination given these differences, and society has a right to award benefits to traditional marriage.

Required reading for Jonah Goldberg: Victor Davis Hanson's recent column in the National Review "Iraq: A Convenient Scapegoat." It makes mincemeat of Peggy Noonan's column. Remember Jonah, Peggy Noonan like John Kerry supported the war before she opposed it, Noonan supported Obama's election to the Presidency and Noonan is trying to re-write history so that instead of our military's success with the "surge" Iraq is treated as another Vietnam. Very little could be more destructive of the Republican Party. So don't be stupid; the so called smart people are talking nonsense.

So your solution is . . .? Don't tell me. . . Support the radical Islamist call to eradicate Israel, the one true democratic country in the Middle East, and establish Sharia and Islamist dictatorial government throughout the Middle East. Yeah, right.

No, HermanBB is very wrong.

Wrong. How about educating yourself to the fact that removal of Saddam was the stated policy of the Bill Clinton Administration? How about educating yourself about the congressional authorization for use of force to remove Sadddam? There were 23 stated reasons for war to remove a rogue dictator who used torture and WMD (nerve gas) against Iraqis. Would you like to live in a wolrd where Saddam is still in power? Saddam government documents showed that he had every intention of rebuilding his WMD stockpile once freed of UN restraints which he was trying to do through the Oil for Food corruption. Now there is a democratically elected governemnt and growing economy in Iraq. It is not perfect, but it is no threat to its neighbors.

Correct, Darkness Fish.

You are absolutely right, Rock Strongo.
