How about starting with what Jesus taught?

You proved in post #1743 that you reject His teachings.

Not to rain on your parade, but one more conservative judge doesn't necessarily mean that he will go conservative on his vote. The Obama Care upset pretty much proved that.

I'll give you the same advice you gave me in an earlier post...go back and read all of the other post prior to the one you responded to so that you know what the discussion is between wolf and me.

Hey, you're preaching to the choir broheim. My kid at 5 already knows about homosexuality in simple term. My sister has a girlfriend. So I've explained why they're always together. She couldn't care less as much as her aunt still buys her candy. Homophobia is taught, kids aren't naturally homophobic.
Click to expand...

Not homophobia, distrust of homosexuals, it's not the same thing. Homophobia is a mental condition. I am sorry to play semantics, but calling folks homophobic bigots doesn't help our case. I don't want to force my beliefs down anyone's thought, I simply want to coexist.

I agree, kids are fought that it is wrong. I was, that thing caused me a great deal of pain, but that is over now, I can teach my boy that it isn't wrong. I would love for MTP and others who hold that homosexuality is a sin to realize out isn't, but calling names and acting like a jackass will not fix that. I am Christian, I do believe in God and Jesus. So it isn't my place to interfere with MTP's parent child relationship. He said he would love his boy just the same if he did turn out to be gay, that isn't even my business, but I am glad he could see past that. That isn't bigotry, or homophobia, he just doesn't want his kids to be around openly gay people. I don't even think out is that, I am openly gay, but nobody would know unless they ask. I don't put on a flamboyant persona, I don't speak like jack from will and Grace, I don't go to parades or wave rainbow flags, I am just a normal guy, crappy fashion sense, I drive big ugly trucks I wear work boots and I talk like a good old southern Texas boy ought to. Aside from seeing me kiss Evan or me telling you I am gay there is no way that you would know. Some say I am hiding it, that isn't true, I am just not leading with it. I don't think it should be a big deal, so I don't make it into one.

I think that of it wasn't made into a big deal it wouldn't be one.

It isn't a conservative position to force beliefs on others. NP is a water boy.

Nope. The only REAL shot you had was in the last two elections. Obama will secure balance on the court with at least 1 and possibly 3 more appointments in the next 4 years. I thank GOD every day that a good man like Obama was able to get elected to save the Supreme Court from falling into the hands of right-wing activists. Even Roberts is proving to be somewhat of a surprise as not a complete Alito/Thomas/Scalia wacko.

He is replacing Liberals with Liberals if he does that....The Liberals are all old....The Conservatives on the court are not.

Sorta true for the first two...but not for the third and even a possible fourth (although a long shot). The reality is NP....how are you ever going to get that 5th Conservative activist vote without replacing a moderate/liberal? Face it. You guys lost your chance in this election. This election could have been a disaster for the court. Thank GOD that Obama was reelected and will protect the balance on our court for years to come.

Take a look at the facts:

Scalia is 76
Kennedy is 76
Ginsburg is 79
Breyer is 74
Sotomayor, Kagan and Roberts are in their 50's
Thomas and Alito in their 60's

Ginsburg will leave for sure. She is a left leaning moderate
Breyer will most likely go. He is left leaning moderate
The other two are more of long shots. Kennedy is a right-leaning moderate and Scalia is an activist right-winger.

Face it NP...the ONLY hope that you have to a right-wing activist court is if Kennedy hangs on for the next election and nothing happens to Scalia's health. Even then....you guys are going to have to beat Hilary and that's going to be extremely tough to do.

Nah....you won't see it in your lifetime. But you WILL see true marriage equality in your lifetime. At least if you make it to summer.

If Republicans lose to Clinton, which they very well could, then they will have much bigger issues than Roe v. Wade.

Do you ever not make **** up? Scalia is 76 and the most conservative justice in the court.
