Dp you think that the issue with banning same-sex marriage is nothing more than wag the dog bu bush?

Question

I think Bush is using same-sex mariage to divert everyones attention from the war, and the deficit.
Your thoughts

Answer 1

it is a moral judgement forced on society to continue the status quo' .
right and wrong have little to do with the law look at slavery and the treatment of blacks in the south . true they have come a long way but are still shackeled in societal pretext and social political economic situations that keep many from true equality. Ihave said that 75 years ago white liberals would have accepted seperate but equal and consevatives would have argued they are not equal and never will be .
So you see in just a few years our thinking and actions have changed there were people then as now that new it was wrong and said so . like I SAY NOW gays have as much right to equal rights gaurenteed to married people this privelege crap or it is reserved for or it is a right for only language is wrong in a free society and people need to learn this before it will change.
there are to many IDIOTS .out there among us who know what the truth is .
ALL people are equal under the law and no one should be accorded privelege of any kind remove all laws concerning marital privilage and who needs to be married take away the special benifits for all people and make it equal .
as a single person why should i pay more it is wrong for people with kids to get a break . they need to work harder then me to take care of there kids not take what i have earned . THIS is the kind of thinking that should be common- equal treatment- and whenever you have to say to one person you have to pay more or can not have this because we have said so is just plain ignorant and wrong.
marriage is wrong to begin with thats why half end in divorce and the other half just plain misserable.
If you have managed to kid yourself into beleifing this myth that man was meant to settle down with one wife and family you are nuts .
I support a ban on all marriage and the special privalige it brings to some people it is not just and makes others responcible for your kids and family all part of political and religious doctrine designed to keep you enslaved to your job .
We can not have people doing what they want all hell will break lose so we must pass laws to keep them doing as we want. SCREW ALL OF YOU I WILL DO AS I PLEASE WITH THE FEW CHOICES I HAVE LEFT UNTIL SOME ONE LOCKS ME AWAY FROM ALL YOU LIERS AND THEIVES .
STOP FOOLING YOURSELFS MOST OF YU ARE ADULTERERS AND LIERS AND CHEATS JUST KEEP SAYING I AM BETTER THEN YOU I AM BETTER THEN YOU IAM BETTER THEN YOU I AM BETTER THEN YOU.. What a bunch of hipocrits i do not know how you can live with yourselfs .Animals all of you .
IF you are gay there is nothing that prevents you from buying property with survivor ship rights tenancy in common with survivors rights joint bank accounts and investment accounts so its not about money or property it all about you grow up and quit trying to have people notice you this same sex crap is to shock people and get there attention if i was banging some guy and wanted everyone to know i would be allowed to do it in the streetjust like if i was banging some hot babe so what are you after the right to do it in public .i say cool lets all have one big orgy and get over ourselfs . i have said blind folded a woman could start giving you head and a guy could finish and you you would still enjoy it sex is in the mind so make up your mind if you choose to but i will do as i wish and until the group orgy i will never be satisfied.

Answer 2

No, it's not a Clintonian wag the dog thing.

You can actually enact a domestic agenda while engaged in foreign wars.

And homosexual marriage actually does have a negative effect on heterosexual marriage rates, leading to more children growing up in less stable households, and then more single-parent households and all the social problems those bring. Based on empirical studies of European nations who premit homosexual marriage.

That's what happens when you unthinkingly mess with the institution that has been the basic building block of society, government and civilization for millenia.

Answer 3

How quickly we forget. It was the Massachusetts Supreme Court, not the Bush administration, that put gay marriage on the front burner, with its decision to force the state to legalize them. That was in late 2003, in case you don't remember back that far. That was followed shortly thereafter by San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom's decision to issue marriage licenses to gay couples in total violation of California law.

In my opinion, each state should be able to decide for itself whether or not it will recognize gay marriage, but the Mass. Court's decision forced the administration's hand. You see, Article IV, Section 1 of the US Constitution reads as follows:

"Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State."

Since marriage is considered a public act, this means that a gay couple could get married in a state in which it's legal, then move to a state that doesn't recognize it. By Article IV, Section 1, that state would be forced to recognize such a marriage against its will and the will of its people. Because that's part of the Constitution, the only way to prevent such a turn of events is by amendment.

Answer 4

If you Believe this then you werent paying attention when Bush was running for Office,This was one of his Key Campaign Issues....I'm actually surprised he waited so long before trying to get the ban passed......In fact his waiting may have actually caused him to lose some of his most solid supporters, since the Religious Right probably were expecting something like this in his first term........

Answer 5

Bush is doing a common political play. He puts out a bill that unites his base (Christian Conservatives) even if it has no chance they get to show that they support it and their opponents are against it.

In the same way REP Charles Rangle continues to bring up bills that would reinstate the draft to bring attention to the War even if no one supports the draft he can get it in the news.

Answer 6

Yes and thank you for pointing that out. Many blamed Clinton for the same reason during the attack on the USS Cole.

Answer 7

Of course he is. He used in a few months before his reelection too, and didn't mention it again until last week, because we have mid-term elections in a few months. Cons are too stupid to realize this.

Answer 8
