A constitutional amendment barring gay marriage!!

You're a social conservative leader who writes Op-Eds?

Cutting and pasting is fine, kjvtrue, but it's nice if you put it in quotes, cite the source, that sort of thing.

Right, soz. Otherwise, it's called "plagiarism." (Look it up, kjvtrue. That sort of thing is not looked upon kindly around here...or any other place I can think of. Please don't do it again.)

Considering kjv's comment "ewe" earlier, perhaps he or she is would consider marriage with sheep? After all, the 15th century English mystics did seek spiritual consummation with the lamb of god. Surely this must mean god has a special place in his...er...toga for quadrupeds? Wink

Well, Jeez, HB, what is the objection to the joining of two lambs? Any conservative ought to be in favor of such an alliance. The commitment of sheep, one on one ( so to speak) ought to be in line with the most stringent of the gospels, and should it not follow that any two joined in life-long commitment, what ever the preferences of said committees, we ought to clap long and loud therefor.

"That was no cut and paste, I really do that stuff!" Where do you get these ridiculous ideas?

Maybe you could post a link to your op-ed piece? I'm sure it would be interesting to read.

I would like to see this too. You referred us to your Op-ed. Did you just overlook posting a link?

Or perhaps you could paste a copy of it here.

You mean to tell me that if I were lucky enough to get an op ed article published in the New York Times or Newsweek Magazine, I would not be able to post a link to it -- but I can post a link to an op ed piece written in either of those two publications from anyone else in the world????

Something honestly does not sound right.

Kjv, I am trying to find a solution that we can agree on.

I will change my plan a little to address your concerns.

1. We tell public government officials to tread homosexual unions the same, under the law, as heterosexual marriages.

This would give each person the freedom to choose what type of marriage they wanted. It would also provide a clear policy that public officials could easily follow.

Those of us who want a heterosexual marriage can marry as we have always done.

2. We tell church leaders that they can follow their own beliefs about Homosexual marriages.

We give churches and ministers the [right] to refuse to marry homosexuals or evn accept homosexuals based on their beliefs. The homosexual couple would need to find a minister or judge who is willint to perform their marriage.

This would protect the rights of churches. No one would be forced to do anything they didn't want to do.

How about this. Can we reach an agreable solution?

That will never work, eBrown. It is too reasonable, logical, and workable; and it so clearly renders unto Caesar what is Caesar's and to god what is god's.

The reason any solution besides a theocracy is unnaceptable to the fundies, is that they follow a strictly Augustinian model, where everything belongs to god, and nothing to Caesar. Intimaiting that this might be incorrect leads to one being labeled a "heathen" and therfore not worthy of their attention. Rather like FOX's "we decide, you concur," they follow the "We tell you what is right, you obey" model. Sad

I only wish that "Christians" were a bit more like Christ.

The House of Representatives needs to vote on Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave's Federal Marriage Amendment (FMA), H. J. Res. 56 which has 108 co-sponsors. The deadline given by the 3 rogue judges on the Massachusetts Supreme Court for the state legislature to adopt homosexual "marriage" legislation is May 16th. A paltry 24% of the American people support this abomination and only 34% support so-called "civil unions". The Democratic Party wholeheartedly supported Congresswoman Musgrave's FMA when she introduced it in May 2003 and it needs to be passed -- as it was written -- before the end of July.

His guess is not only as good as yours, but given the hatefulness you have so consistently spewn all over these fora, i would suggest that his notion far surpasses the narrow-minded, spiteful, vengeful and dictatorial religious hatred you habitually vomit.

Did anyone see "Opus" today? I think it neatly summed up why some heterosexuals are intimidated by the consept of gay marriage. Wink
