We were warned...from all different angles..
« on: May 12, 2009, 04:13:01 AM »
  First..legalize "gay" marriage..now they want "triad" marriages..three involved in one marriage. Soon they will demand "party" marriages..then likely , marriage to their dog, cat or monkey.  http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-05-07/threesome-marriages/full/
  If they are to allow these multiple partner marriages as in "triad"..how will the feds arrange an apology to all the Mormon splinter groups they have punished for polygamy ? Won't they have to pay "reparations" to the mistreated people, such as these ?  http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23993440/
If you don't want the truth, don't ask me.  If you want something sugar coated...go eat a donut !  (anon)

Doesn't seem to be getting any better.
You let people have what "will really make them happy and guess what"
These people have fought the fight and won, now they want another
fight, their will be no end.

Yes to the other questions, should have to go back to every group that
was percicuted and make it right if possible.

Don''t knock the "system", I have been thinking about making a cow my next wife, yes a cow.  After all, I can ride her, use her to plow with, milk her, use her for the "ususal husband wife business," and if she ticks me off I can kill her and have steaks while looking for another one. ::)

Ironglow, you are right, makes you wonder just where the hell society is headed.  Years ago you didn't hear much of this stuff, it ws all underground, but since they have come out I am amazed at the numbers that claim to be gay, or bi-sexual.  I was recently talking to a young lady that worked in a major hospital, she said she estimates that over half of the nurses there were gay.  I think Hollowood has played a major role in getting it to this point, maybe if we boycott products advertised on programs that openly support or avocate the gay lifestyle thing MIGHT change.

RockBilly, aside from killing and making steaks out of her, I already do all that stuff with my wife. You just need to find the right woman. ;D

Years ago you didn't hear much of this stuff, it was all underground, but since they have come out I am amazed at the numbers that claim to be gay, or bi-sexual.

They should have kept it underground too. In my opinion, they wanting to get married is a total disgrace to the wonderful institution of marriage and the family. I could care less if they want to ruin their relationship with God and could further care less what they do behind closed doors, but for heaven's sake keep it out of my face, and my kid's face too for that matter.

I think Hollywood has played a major role in getting it to this point, maybe if we boycott products advertised on programs that openly support or advocate the gay lifestyle thing MIGHT change.

Not sure about the boycott, but it probably wouldn't hurt. Definitely agree that UnHolyWood is at least partially responsible for helping destroy the world as we have known it.

Ironglowjr - Welcome to the forum. We've heard many things about you from Grandpa IG. Some where actually quite nice. ;) Just kidding you there. I'm thinking you are held in very high regard by Ironglow Sr. Also, thank you for your dedicated service to our great Country.

legalizing gay marriage is a first step to legalizing pedophilia. Just look at what the North American Man/boy love association is all about. Its a proven fact that gay men seek out young sex partners. Just wait and see this will be next.

Where do you draw the line? 
I could care less about what two rump rangers want to do.  So, I could care less if the two want to get married.  Pedophilia is a different issue because anyone under age should be protected.  I don't understand using the government to control people.  I don't agree with the choices these people make but I FEAR a government that makes rules to conform people to someone's beliefs.

  Surely, none of us care for govt interference..but it is an insult to decent folks that such would even want "marriage", they've been weilding their perversions quite well without trying to destroy yet another God given institution.

 Right Wareagle..our wise forefathers formed a "democratic republic"..A pure democracy is one of the worst forms of govt. If everything is decided by direct vote, it can be miserable. Somewhat like here in "The People's Republik of New York"..The big cities have more votes, so they get everything their way.
  Remember that statement attributed to Ben Franklin which went;
 
"Democracy is  two wolves and a lamb, voting upon what is to be for dinner;
  Liberty.. is one well armed lamb, contesting the vote.."

I would suggest a horse instead.
1- a horse is a beautiful animal
2-after consumating the marriage you will have a ride home.

One thing I hear often is "I don't care what they (homosexuals) do as long as they don't bother me" Or "they aren't bothering me, they can do what they want".
The rise in the homosexual’s agenda to legalize homosexual marriage and call it normal is a declining trend in morals, and destruction of the family. 
Income taxes will be increased to make up for the marriage tax benefits given to homosexual couples, and to pay for social costs resulting from the increase in illegitimacy.
 Most likely social security taxes will be increased, or benefits decreased in order to pay survivor support benefits to homosexual widows or widowers.
 Medical insurance premiums will rise to offset the higher health care costs associated with homosexual behavior. Which breeds diseases like aids, colon cancer, hepatitis and other diseases. 
Employee benefits will be reduced as employers are mandated to spread their limited benefit dollars to include homosexual partners.
How about your children being indoctrinated, without your consent to accept homosexual behavior as the moral and social equivalent of heterosexual behavior. This is already  happening in schools, especially in Calif. And Mass.
Your workplace will attempt to indoctrinate you to the same ends, and if you refuse, you will either lose your job or be labeled not a team player. This is happening with diversity training in many companies.
Your place of worship will be forced to hire homosexuals and play by new rules that impose homosexuality.
Free speech and religion rights will be curtailed, because opposition to homosexuality will be criminalized as “hate speech”
On top of all this government will grow.
This is the reason liberals love same sex marriage. They will call for more programs to fix the mess caused by the destruction of the family, and more government regulation to ensure that their new morality of political correctness is imposed on you, your children, and your place of worship.
So if you think that the homosexual agenda, will not affect you, which is hell bent on making their perverted lifestyle acceptable in society you better think about it a little more.
Those people who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants.    Wm. Penn

  When I was a kid; it appears in retrospect, that such kinds of critters were around. We were aware of what they like to do as a pastime..however, they just kept their perversion to themselves and didn't run their mouths about it. Most folks just considered them a bit "twisted" and left them alone. The liberals think we are bad guys because we don't think such perversion is totally OK.
       
  Contrast that with the liberal's view of we gun owners & hunters. They know what we choose to do as a pastime & they don't like it..even though we don't demand that they approve or participate. They are so "tolerant" that they would like to destroy our pastime and take our equipment away..

where  in the constitution  does  it  mention marriage

the  government  should stay  out of marriage.........periods

government should  NOT  acknoledge ANY  marriage

the constitution  is  to protect  INDIVIDUAL  rights     only

no  SPECIAL  protection  to  any  groups/ couples  etc

people are  disgussing  a mute  point [or it should be a mute  point]

why  is there a different tax code based on marital status ?    this  is discrimination  not equality

who  cares  if  queers  or 5 folks  or  a man and  his  dog  get  married......or  even  a man and a woman
it  matters  not  until  they get  some SPECIAL  protection from  the government

so   i say  STRIKE ALL  laws  reguarding marriage
when drugs are outlawed only out laws will have drugs
DO WHAT EVER IT TAKES TO STOP A DEMOCRAT
OBAMACARE....the biggest tax hike in the  history of mankind
free choice and equality  can't co-exist
AFTER THE LIBYAN COVER-UP... remind any  democrat voters ''they sat and  watched them die''...they  told help to ''stand down''

I define marriage as a union between a man and a woman, designed by God to last as long as they live. I know this is also how the formers of the constitution defined it. The constitution was written by Christian men who designed the constitution on God's morals, values, and principals. Even though marriage is not defined in the constitution, its a matter of right and wrong according to God. God clearly defines marriage between a man and a woman, in the bible, and condemns anything else.
If marriage is everything, then marriage is nothing. While we are calling a union between two men or two women marriage. Why not call a union between a man and a boy marriage?  After all we have to protect individual rights. How about legalizing polygamy, or group marriage. The constitution doesn’t say anything about this. So why not protect individual rights?   Or maybe we can call a union between a man and a dead body marriage. There are people that like to have sex with dead bodies, so we shouldn’t bar their individual rights, should we?

A child thrives best under a marriage between a man and woman. The breakdown of marriage in America has already had devastating effects on society, especially children. Should we deliver yet another blow to this fundamental structure of society by eliminating it entirely? Heterosexual marriage is a societal structure, and without it, society crumbles. All the gay rights promoters can think about are the rights of adults, and the kids can go hang themselves.   

Lets just legalize, all the immoral issues the constitution doesn’t define so we don’t infringe on anyone’s individual rights. While we are at it lets just form an, anything goes society.

I have a slightly different spin on this.  It's not good enough for the liberals if conservatives say we don't care what they do behind closed doors.  Liberals want to confront us, shock us and rub our noses in it.  If we say OK to something then they contrive to think of how much farther they need to go to shock us some more.

I obtain most of my news from listening to National Public Radio.  It's convenient,
I like many of their segments, and it allows me to hear what the liberals are thinking.  In the view of Public  Broadcasting and their supporters like the Pew Trust it's perfectly OK for Al Gore to fly around in his personal jet but it's not OK for a business man to do so.  It's OK for Jesse Jackson to shake down a corporation but if Rush Limbaugh talks about it then that is racism (in the view of Public Broadcasting).  When the federal government burns out some enclave of religious people who allegedly espouse polygamy that is justice but if the same government chased down a hippie commune doing the same thing that would be oppressive government (according to the liberal agenda).  If the ACLU likes something or doesn't like something then you can accurately predict what Public Broadcasting will say about it.  Public Broadcasting likes George Soros, hates the NRA, likes Obama and therefore now likes the US economy and economic outlook but hated the economy up to the election last November. Public Broadcasting likes all Democrats.

Public Broadcasting sells a lifestyle that includes homosexual behavior  being open and accepted as normal.  Men dressing as women is fine with this crowd but a law-abiding citizen carrying a concealed firearm (or for that matter an unconcealed firearm) is bad and suspect behavior.    It was very easy to predict that Public  Broadcasting would say that the African pirates became pirates because they had no other choices, and if the pirates had sponsored a lesbian boat or two there would now be outcries on NPR to free the one pirate who is to be tried, and there would be calls from NPR supporters to try the Navy Seals who shot his comrades.
