Couldn't disagree with you more. Homosexuals have, through the actions of most state legislatures, almost all the rights of spouses now. For many years, the leaders of that "community" insisted they didn't want marriage, just the same rights as "everyone else". First, it was "live and let live" - just leave us alone and we won't bother anyone. That changed in the mid-80's to "coming out", where they decided to let everyone know they were homosexuals. Again, not seeking approval, just recognition. Well, that wasn't enough, so it finally "evolved" to demanding approval through civil unions and, finally, marriage. BTW, this won't end the litigation over the issue. Once the SC decides it is a violation of Equal Protection to say men can't marry other men (and it is a 14th Amendment violation IF morality is removed from the argument), the lawsuits will explode where the homosexuals perceive discrimination. Yep, they will be added to the protected class designation since most of society will reject the characterization of homosexuals as "equal". And what does this say about our nation, when we force society to afford the status of married couples to same sex unions? Again, take the morality argument out of it - you have to since no argument exists that says it is immoral to refuse to sanction these couplings - and it still leaves us as a nation that is lowering the bar on what is considered deviant behavior.

Homosexuals seek the one thing they well never get: Moral equality with heterosexuality. Regardless of any law Congress passes or any policy the White House pursues, the fact is homosexuality is deviant and perverse behavior condemned by God. There is no sanctification through marriage available to the practitioners of these acts since the Bible does not provide for it. My children will be taught God's morality, to include the truth about homosexual behavior. Nothing anyone says will persuade me differently because God's ways are perfect, not man's.

Reginald: You're right, the government shouldn't. But as more and more of the public becomes apathetic, when the voting percentage approaches 40%, this is not lost on a government that is clearly intent on controlling the daily lives and almost all aspects of it for the population. They want your money and the second they believe they can take it with minimal chance of outrage, they will do it, all couched in language designed to make you believe it's "for the good of all" and that anyone who opposes it is "greedy and selfish." Mark my words.

Amen. The government can't save and those that did are targets for the endless greed rampant in our government. Having said that, they merely reflect the portion of the population that honestly believes those who saved are somehow unfairly "advantaged" and deserve to lose their money. Crazy I know, but it's out there, represented by the Democrat party.

Boortz is exactly right: Articles promoting a "wealth tax" have been circulating with increased frequency the past 6-9 months, all of them highlighting the "loophole" in the tax code that wealth hasn't been taxed in this country and promoting the idea that our financial troubles would be significantly lessened if only the "wealthy" would give up a percentage (always just a "small" amount, mind you...) of all that money that they don't really "need"... If this ever happens and the American public doesn't rise up in anger and righteous violence, then we should all just get measured for the chains immediately.

Bottom line: A large number of us will not register, surrender, or allow the government to confiscate our firearms. This is a fight that doesn't have to happen. However, if the liberal pols insist on pressing forward with their plan, we will push back. It is NOT wrong to oppose a government intent on enslaving the public.

Same here, but I let the guy have it. My message was "NO MORE." No more money, no more phone calls, no more letters, no more of any of it. I'm taking care of my family and that's it - good luck with the prevalent RINO culture in "stopping" people that, in reality, they have more in common with than differences. When (if, actually) this country realizes the spending is lethal, it will be too late to stop it. Food, medicine, weapons, ammo, and gold: Good luck, everybody.

Well said, and if you think ANY logic will register with these people, well, good luck. Agendas do not respond to truth and logic.

The notion that minorities of all types (except the Asian, since they are high performers) are excluded from criticism has fed into this destructive cycle that has reduced the black family to a statistical rarity. The numbers don't lie: Blacks don't pursue education, are the majority of our prison population, have almost thee quarters of their children illegitimately, and die at a much earlier age because of violence/drug use than any other segment of the population. A government check is no substitute for a father in the home. Unless/until that message is embraced by the black population at large, nothing will change.

Waco and Ruby Ridge. You want to talk about mass killings? Make sure these are part of the conversation. Oh, that's tight: When the government does it, it's not a crime, no need for more laws or even prosecutions...
