I mean just that. Equal rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of hapiness, for all U.S. citizens. That also means responsibility, if you tread on someone else's rights (murder, rape, etc...) that you lose your rights (jail, punishment). But barring committing crimes, do you belive in equal rights for all U.S. citizens?

screwed, I don't know what a smirking suspicion is, but you do bring up a good point, as if you could smell your hipocrosy before you finished answering the question. Should we ask people (ALL people) what type of sex, with who, and how many people before we give marriage licenses? Should we also legislate heterosexual sex, or for that matter, intent? Illegal to marry for money, to marry because you got pregnant, for benefits? Or just gays? That's an excellent point that you bring up, thank you.

I belive in equal rights. However, I have a smirking suspicion that you are angling for an argument for the right of marriage by men that like to have anal sex with other men, and women who like to fondle other women. So to answer what I am sure will be your subsequent question: NO, same gender people who like to have sex with each other and violate their anus and spread AIDS (which has seen an increase in the past couple of years) do not deserve the right to marriage, no matter how much you try to cloak this sexual act as a culture.

For all legal citizens - no illegals. Yes there are equal rights - But for something not equal are all the affirmative action programs put in place. I think in this day and age that AA has been become out dated and discriminatory towards Caucasians.

Being from another democratic country, which has constitutional guarantees to all citizens (the U.S.A. does not re: ERA has never passed), I believe their should be equal rights but the U.S. is currently in the grips of a theocratic hegemony that doesn't seem to be abating. As such, yes I believe, but sadly, no I don't think it will ever be.

Yes, with the exceptions that you noted in your post. The more rights we have, the more responsibilities we have; when we choose to act irresponsibility, those rights can and should then be taken away from us. But as stated in the Pledge of Allegiance, we must ensure that justice is served and to not simply take away someone's rights just because they have been accused or are alleged to have committed a crime. (Take a moment and think about it.)

YES , if you are a legal US citizen you should have equal rights no matter where you have come from or have been born inside or outside the USA.

If you voted for bush twice you should lose all your rights, including citizenship. I'd rather give an illegal immigrant a try over someone as stupid as a bush supporter.
Everyone else gets equal rights.

Yes despite what you think of me (Going back to the answer to one of my questions where you suggested that I was trying to take your 1st amendment rights away) I do believe in that every citizen.
