I did post facts what are you talking about???

Are you really going to tell me Liberals like Nancy pelosi and John kerry are pro life?Are you going to tell me that the Minute men who patrol the borders are Liberal Democrats?Are you going to tell me that Liberals support traditional Men-Women marriage?It's always the same story.Democrats always support abortions.Republicans always are against it.

Come on Winx we have been debating these issues for a long time and if you can't tell who is what side than you have a learning disability.I can tell you who is writing bills before I even know if they are a Democrat or Republican just by what they are asking for.Anyone with any type of common politcal sense can tell you what the difference between the two parties is and I named alot of them.

Check the voting record!Do we really need to waste time to see who wrote bills for gay marriage?Do you think it is a Republican?

Damn! frustrated

Well I hate admitting it but I always thought people who saw things the way Thomas does were what conservatives were all about. Right wingers have taken the name conservative for themselves. So much so I am not sure what a conservative really is some days.

I am not sure it went far enough to help me. I think I am confused by the traditional values and the hate change, I have a couple of friends that say they are conservative but they voted for Obama and they aren't afraid of change, and are not traditional types.

Whatever right a married couple has , so should any other couple. Whatever right a man has , so should a woman. A man is not unnatural nor is a woman. Marriage is not unnatural nor is homosexuality.

However -- a man is not a woman and married couples dont need to be homosexual couples. People can fight for equal rights without requiring to ignore their differences.

But, it is unnatural and if it were natural then equal rights would apply as for them being couples. As for them being individuals they are equal and have the same rights.


It's unnatural to you but it's not unnatural to a gay person.


Those are your response????
To some people it's not a choice and to some people it's natural????
That's weak...
Please don't respond to any of my future post unless you can bring something to the discussion
