Object: Push for national gay-marriage ban
How much more needs to be done to get the crazed LLL (Looney Liberal
Lemmings) to understand; Americans do not want same-sex marriage. Whatever
arguments can be made in favor of creating this right do not supercede the
fact that Americans overwhelmingly reject the notion. Imposing the will of a
few against the wishes of the masses amounts to no more than totalitarian
government; and afterall, isn't that what you 'liberals' so firmly oppose?
http://www.politicalgateway.com/news/read/9139
WASHINGTON, April 24 (UPI) -- Roman Catholic leaders and evangelical
Protestants, joined by other religious groups, are pushing to amend the U.S.
Constitution to ban same-sex marriage.
As a kickoff, the group signed a petition in support of an amendment, The
New York Times reported. Those who added their names included seven Catholic
cardinals, a number of archbishops, some Orthodox Jewish rabbis and at least
one official of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
One Catholic group -- the Knights of Columbus -- plans to distribute 10
million postcards at Catholic churches for congregants to send to their
congressional representatives.
"The personal involvement of bishops and cardinals is significantly greater
this time than in 2004," said Patrick Korten, a spokesman for the lay
Catholic group.
In 2004, proposed amendments to state constitutions on homosexual marriage
helped bring out conservative voters and may have contributed to President
George W. Bush's victory over Sen.. John Kerry.
But some political observers say that the public attitude toward the issue
has shifted with a recent poll finding 51 percent of respondents opposed,
compared to 63 percent in 2004.

You're the one who's too damned stupid to understand what you're doing.
How you manage to post at all is a mystery.

FYI, marriage is NOT a Constitutional right or privilege.
The Constitution is not written for anything other than individuals.
It is NOT written for couples.

It's already been shown to apply to couples. You just blithely ignore it and
pretend that hasn't been stated.

Read it and stop propagating unconstitutional lies in the USA.
Single persons are who are not afforded equal protections in this issue,
and
the Constitution is specifically written for individuals.

Prove it, Crackhead of South Carolina.

Read it for yourself.

I have, and you're delusional as always.

The Constitution does not forbid marrying.
But it does forbid unequal treatment of the people.

....which is why same-sex marriage will be legalized, because what we have now
is unequal treatment - which is contrary to that nettlesome Amendment XIV.
Heterosexuals are free to marry the consenting non-related single adult of
their choice. Homosexuals aren't.

Each person within our borders is an individual.

We're talking about marriage, Moonbat Wentzky. Try and keep up with the
concept.

The Constitution is written so that no one person is treated unfairly here.
Simple enough?

So why the hell are YOU bitching about being treated unfairly? Get back on
your meds.

What a ***** lie.
Discrimination against single persons is illegal.
Even Civil Rights law says that much.
The Constitution does nothing at all to grant anyone privileges or
protections above any other person here.
Marriage is a non-issue to the Constitution.

That is because that is where their rights are embedded, the

As long as it is within the laws of the state in which you marry.
Otherwise forget about it. The SCOTUS has affirmed that marriage is a
state's right's issue. it's the states game they make the rules and
you play by them. You're fucked (or maybe 'Not Fucked' depending on

It does say, however, that they have the same rights as us
heterosexuals. And that means that they have the right to marry the
consenting adult of their choice, just as we do. And it should not
matter the gender of the partner. And by the way, there would be
nothing to prevent heterosexuals from marrying a person of the same
gender as well, which also shows that they do not have more rights.

It also gives some information of challenging laws and actions of the
government,

And you again fail you reading comprehension and retention test.


As long as it is within the laws of the state in which you marry.

And those laws are not found unconstitutional. And every state allows
heterosexuals to marry, so I have no problem.

Otherwise forget about it.

No. The unconstitutional laws that forbid homosexuals from marrying
each other, as well as the laws that annul any of their legal marriages
and unions from another state while they are in that state, can and
will be overturned. There is no reason for such discriminatory laws.
And such laws must be fought and overturned or changed.

The SCOTUS has affirmed that marriage is a
state's right's issue.

And they can later state that the states cannot deny people the right
to get married because of the pairing or genders, just as they did 40
years ago when they overturned the laws in all the states that forbade
people of different races to marry.

it's the states game they make the rules and
you play by them. You're fucked (or maybe 'Not Fucked' depending on
how you look at it) if you choose not to.

No, I am not. Unjust, unequal, unconstitutional laws can always be
challenged. And the laws that forbid homosexuals from marrying are
unjust, unequal, and unconstitutional.
Besides, laws that recognize some marriages from a state but do not
recognize others are definitely unconstitutional. They violate the
Fair Use and Credit clause. Those laws are certain to fail when they
are challenged. They have nothing whatsoever to stand on.


State's ball, state's bat -- Never ever forget that (sung to the tune
of the Battle Hymn of the Republic.)

By MY diamond. I have the US Constitution on my side. And unlike you,
I fight to defend the rights of others. You only fight to propagate
your own bigotry and irrational hatred of others.
What's more, the "rules" state that I can challenge what the state says
about the game, and force them to play by the actual rules.

Nope. They want the same rights. Rights that they are currently being

Yes, they do. They want the laws to recognize their relationships as
being just as valid as heterosexual ones.

The only thing that homosexuals want changed is for the marriage laws
to include homosexuals marriages, and to treat and protect them in the

changing anything except the applicability of the laws, and bring them
in line with the Constituions guarentees of equal protection under the
law and equal applicability of the law.

Yes, it is, villian. Trust me. In the long run, the United States

I'm deadly serious, son.

I am not your son.

You're the one who can't add two and two and get
four, the majority of the time.

The Constitution is written for the people as individuals.
Your wolfish , gang mentality that thinks it is for groups of people above
individuals is quite un-American.

My Mother's Mother died the other day.

In other words, she died at the age of 100 (plus some months). No one else
(except the fanatic fetus fetishists like you) adds nine months to their
birthdate.

Same-sex marriage has been around far longer than you or I...and it's already
legal in Massachusetts, and if you can't take that, I guess you'll never get
near Canada, as it's legal across the Dominion. Your whining will only
convince more people that your opinions can be safely ignored.

I do not see it as being necessary to grant unto homosexuals equal treatment
to authorize same-sex marriages.
What I see as being a greater need is providing each and every individual
within the United States the equal protections that the 14th Amendment
forbids denying them.
I would somehow find a way to give people what they need rather than
creating policies which tend to obfuscate and confuse and gloss over the
reality that exists in America while we all know that people are suffering
and need help here.
The 47,000,000 uninsureds are not all gay persons.
Am I right?

I would somehow find a way to give people what they need rather than
creating policies which tend to obfuscate and confuse and gloss over the
reality that exists in America while we all know that people are suffering
and need help here.

Would SSM confuse you?

The 47,000,000 uninsureds are not all gay persons.
Am I right?

Yes. I do not understand the relevance, though.

Actually, it is why they will be smarter to honor the 14th Amendment
than to
neglect the Constitutional rights of the people even further by
allowing
same-sex marriages.
Marriage and singlehood do not have equal protections currently.
Allowing same-sex marriages will only exarcerbate the problems that
singles
face.



This weird ***** logic is like saying "Marriage and singlehood
do not have equal protections currently."



They don't.


Singles are afforded all the rights of single entities. It is equal.



Wrong. Nowhere in the 14th Amendment does it say that apples do not have
the right to equal protection and privileges that oranges have.


So, when you bring two apples together, you get an orange?



Allowing blacks to
marry whites will only exarcerbate the problems that singles
face.



No. Race is irrelevant to marriage.


As is sexual orientation or gender.



Marriage is not something that two persons of the same sex can actually
achieve.


Why?



I am speaking in the literal sense.


Okay, so, literally, why is marriage something that two persons of the
same sex cannot actually acheive?

Male, female.




Fix the inequality of the married folks to the single folks,
not compound the inequality by denying intersexual children
the right to grow up and marry.



Are you seeking to do such?


I think newsguy is seeking to fix the inequality of heterosexual
couples versus homosexual/intersexual couples.



The 14th Amendment isn't only for couples or for singles.
It written for people.


All people.



Agreed.


Marriage is not something that the 14th Amendment specifies as something
that enables persons to be awarded unequal privileges and protections.


And what is unequal about homosexual marriage? You've yet to explain
this satisfactorily.



I do not see it as being necessary to grant unto homosexuals equal
treatment to authorize same-sex marriages.


Why?

Rephrase for you: I do not see it as necessary to grant homosexuals same-sex
marriage privileges in order to treat them equally at law to all other
citizens of the USA, primarily because it wouldn't actually occur.

What I see as being a greater need is providing each and every individual
within the United States the equal protections that the 14th Amendment
forbids denying them.
I would somehow find a way to give people what they need rather than
creating policies which tend to obfuscate and confuse and gloss over the
reality that exists in America while we all know that people are
suffering and need help here.


Would SSM confuse you?

No.
Schemes are easy to devise.

The 47,000,000 uninsureds are not all gay persons.
Am I right?


Yes. I do not understand the relevance, though.

PRIVILEGES, EQUAL PROTECTION!
