[W:422] So, marriage is destroyed, right?

Harshaw said:
Of course they're the same. They're not different just to be less inconvenient to your political preferences.

I know, I know; it's not "fearmongering" when Democrats do it. I expected nothing else from you.

Could you be any more dishonest in your comments?

Not much. You can apologize for the last sentence if you want to get read again.

Nonetheless, it's a fact what Republican politicians almost universally said. So, since you have opinions, what is your opinion on whether their claims that gay may marriage equality would destroy marriage were true, or lies to get votes from people like you?

It cheapens all marriage and is sacrilegious to Christian ones.

For years, Republicans ran against gay marriage equality - they used the issue to get Republican voters out.

The message from the activists and practically all Republican politicians was the same: gay marriage marriage equality would destroy the institution of marriage. If you liked marriage, if you liked children, you had to protect marriage by opposing gay marriage equality.

It's interesting to review this as a typical example of a Republican politicization of an issue, now that we have some more history.

I considered pulling up a long list of quotes, but I'll stick with the Republican Senate Majority leader as typical: "Will activist judges not elected by the American people destroy the institution of marriage, or will the people protect marriage as the best way to raise children? My vote is with the people."

That's what he said when Bush's effort to pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting gay marriage failed to get the 60 required votes. Republicans voted 45-6 in favor of the amendment - support for banning gay marriage in the constitution had overwhelming Republican support int he Senate and elsewhere.

So, how are those claims of nearly the entire party holding up now, that the institution of marriage would be destroyed, made so loudly for so many years? It'd be nice if Republicans voters could learn a little something from examples like this about the false, misguided hyperbole the Republican leaders to get votes.

You're missing the point as the left always does, the point being if everything is a marriage nothing is a marriage. Since then the left has convinced you that boys can be girls and girls can be boys and women's sports are being made a mockery. Bread and circuses, the pattern is right in front of your eyes, and now we have Presidential candidates wanting to legalize all drugs.

The left destroys everything it touches.

Is your marriage cheap now? And did Republican politicians lie when they said "destroy"? You are trying to replace "destroy" with "cheapen", which is not what they said, making it a dishonest argument. You do oppose dishonesty, don't you? Stop dodging the question about the Republican politicians, and answer.

They said that about interracial marriage too.


It's a disgusting opinion

Moral decay in a society is subtle but extremely damaging.

No, actually, you're missing the point, which is whether Republican politicians were telling the truth when they said gay marriage equality would destroy the institution of marriage. Then, you are arguing a dishonest strawman that gay marriage makes "everything" a marriage. Finally, using your own argument, is now "nothing a marriage"?

So gay marriage doesnt ruin other marriages? Sounds like you don't know what you're talking about since you're talking in circles.

Yes, back when the south was Democrats, before they switched to Republicans. You did not answer post 32. You prefer not answering to an honest response, it looks like. You've squirmed not to answer every reply so far.

You're trying to change the topic. You choose not to answer the question, to deny the truth. Despite that, your question was answered in post #10.

How about third marriages between lying con men and serial adulterers and foreign models? I consider that deviant, and therefore believe it should be illegal! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!!

If you don't give a flying **** what I care about that marriage, think about that when you whine about deviant gay marriage. It's the identical sentiment some of us feel about your opinions of LGBT and same sex marriage.

Bottom line is the question isn't whether you or anyone else believes a marriage or action is "deviant" or not. You can believe what you want. The issue is whether it's the STATE'S business.

This isn't about whether pols affected your opinion. I already answered that. You refuse to answer the question you have been asked many times now, so I'll write it off that you refuse to answer, and deny the truth.

I read every one of your posts, in which you refused to answer the question, squirming out, every time.
