Chris Christie set to veto gay marriage bill

Well I am not the GOP but and Independent and I think GWB did a hell of a job when you consider the attack on 9/11 and the biggest natural disaster tin the history of this country in Katrina...

Only people like yourself Navy....would see a "hell of a job" in probably the worst response this country has ever had to a natural disaster and after 9/11 occurred on his watch...he didn't go after those who attacked us and left the mess to the next guy. Wow.....
 
I wonder why liberals aren't out fighting for women's rights to serve in military combat roles, such as Navy SEALS. Instead treating this gay agenda like it has any relevance outside of maybe 5% of our population.

A few days ago I read a ridiculous article on a "libertarian" (or liberal-tarian more likely) website Reason.com that seriously thought people in other states would be celebrating this - as if, lol. Gay marriage is 1% about actual rights and 99% about liberal self-righteousness.

Of course your right. Welcome to DP my friend. We can always use another real Conservative and a voice of reason to bring some sanity to this place. Hope to see a lot of posts from you.

What's the military? About 1% of the population? Just sayin'....

Well women are about 50% of the population, so I think that if anything, liberals should be pushing for women's rights to serve in special forces roles before they push for gay rights.

The "gay marriage" issue in itself isn't the biggest problem so much as the left's motive for pushing. These militant gay activists seem like they're motivated more just by an anti-cultural sentiment than actual rights, they just perceive the institution of marriage as part of America's tradition, and because to them America is so bad - anything that's traditionally American needs to be changed. But this is really more or less a non-issue, it shouldn't be getting nationwide attention - even most openly gay couples more or less live normally without it, the whole purpose in pushing it is just for ego as much as anything else.

Why? Most people can see that there are legitimate issues with women serving in combat roles.

But honestly the two are not related but could easily be argued for side by side. It's not like people are only allowed to fight for one right at a time.

And, it was once a part of American tradition to own slaves, to treat women as property of either their parents or their husband, segregation, and to deny differently-raced couples the right to enter into a marriage contract.

Always good to see an extreme conservative make irrelevant, invalid, and ignorant points. Tell us... do you have anything useful to say on this topic?
 
Our debt alone dictates that our interests are to grow the population, not to mention how programs like SS require that we grow in size

I see this as a very shortsighted view. It would be quite simple to attribute worldwide debt to overpopulation, based on consumption, social welfare, resource availability, technology, and growth needs. By this criteria we might stipulate that the assumption and increase in debt came about due to overpopulation, and will thus increase in step with it.

As for Social Security, there has yet to be a Ponzy scheme that has perpetual growth, as it is a virtual impossibility over time.

I believe there was a thread earlier about women in combat roles and that many liberals said that they support the idea.

And if the "gay agenda" doesnt have any relevance outside of 5% of the population then why are you resisting it so much?

And gay marriage is about equality under the law no about self righteousness.
