Mass Supreme Court Greenlights Gay Marriage

Fag's!

I haven't particularly cared what people do in their spare time for quite a while unless they are preaching it ..my concern here is the language used by the court about "separate but equal", etc. - obviously there is a big push on to make gays a protected class under the civil rights laws like blacks and women

once a group achieves protected class status then a whole new set of rules apply and people can't be excluded on the basis of their membership in the protected class and protected class status has a lot of impact in employment decisions - people who are managers have dealt with this - also in many other areas

of course law and the courts are highly political - if they decide sexual preference is that important

that's the way it will go

one day i'll surf around and see how other countries handle this issue - can't remember any such marriages, even in France

“Everybody is equal” but it appears what they are really saying is “Some are more equal than others”.

That's the thing with liberals: they proclaim equal rights and fair treatment for all, but the first person why they try to shutup is anyone with a conservative view point. Its dumbfounding to me how they keep getting away with it and that no one seems to picks up on it.

Gee, I think we have a "compassionate conservative" Republican for president don't we? For a few more months anyway. :

I'm sure he'll be in office again. look who he's gonna be running against a bunch of schmucks... might as well pick the lesser of the 2 evils.

Its a sad commentary when Democrats are pinning their hopes on a northeastern liberal from Taxachusetts and consider him most electable. Then again this is the same bunch who ran such stellar candidates like McGovern, Mondale, Dukasis who were humiliated badly.

exactly, I ant all that happy with some of the laws bush has passed but I cant imagine what would have happened if Gore or heaven forbid Kerry was in office when all this stuff was going down. Dear god, can you think of the disaster USA would be in.

I asked blade if we could get a Political sub forum cause I really don't want to read Vid's Wacko sublets into every damn post again this voting season.

Yeah, heaven forbid anybody disagrees with the "moral minority" . :laugh

Would that subforum be open to all viewpoints or just deficit building, religious right, Enron connected, Haliburton overchargers, all children left behind, and military industrial complex gov't robbing types?

Not to mention the fact that you're backing a guy who's the main reason behind why you can't find a job.

***Hint: they've been sent overseas so they don't have to pay guys like you a decent wage. Snap out of it. You're the whacko. Not me.

The economy was taking a nose dive long before Bush was elected... So i thank Clinton for that one. And WTF does the president have to do with the economy taking a shit anyways. It always get blamed on them if its bad like they can control it... It don't matter which asshole is elected. They won't do any god damn good for the people of this country anyways... oh wait unless your a minority or gay they won't do any good for you.

[HitDoS]

In my opinion, if you are middle class it doesn't matter who you vote for, just keep grabbing those ankles cause you will be butt raped till you are in your grave....then it's your kids turn.

That is a fact.

But here's the difference between a liberal and a conservative: a conservative doesn't (usually) try and proclaim himself as "looking out for the underdog". Liberals do this but they don't really care about the poor or minorities or women who get abortions. All they care about is promoting their own agenda and they use the backs of these groups to get it into the spotlight. But when push comes to shove and the poor aren't getting any richer, minorities aren't any better represented, and women are suffering emotional trauma or get cancer after an abortion, liberals are no where to be found. They turn their backs on those individuals and find new "pet projects" to push into the limelight. Liberalism is a FAR more selfish, self-serving, heartless idealogy then convertism because of this.

Ditto. But the Democrats need any ammo they can find against W. Foreign policy: nope. Social Security: who really cares? Economy: sure, lets give it a whirl.

I'm not the only one who doesn't think Bush is the answer. His job approval rating is @ 47% currently, which happens to be exactly the same as his old man's was at this point in his Presidency, the year he got booted.

Manufacturing sector jobs have declined for 42 months in row !!! The longest stretch in USA history. You gonna blame that on Clinton too?

All this yapping in here from either side doesnt' mean shit anyway as some, or most of you, fit into the demographic ( 18-25 yr olds ) that's been shown as least likely to vote in elections on the national level.

definition of a liberal: A conservative who's been arrested. :

At this point in 1984 the polls showed that Gary Hart was going to beat Ronald Reagan. lol that was before Reagan crushed that wuss Mondale.

Dukakis was 17 points ahead of President Bush in July 1988 and Bush didn't pull ahead until the Republican convention in 1988.

Right now the publicity and focus is on the Democratic primaries, so the Dems are going to get a boost. Indeed the Democratic potential nominees are in full swing and concentrating their fire at GWB. In comparison the Republicans haven't gone into full campaign gear and after they do, Kerry will be sad they brought it on.

The Democrats have implemented a short primary season compared to the long stretched out campaign it was before. {Basically the Dems wanted to shorten the process for choosing a nominee caused they feared a divisive contest.} That means soon enough Kerry will have little to do for months but ponder his vice president running mate. Once again the Democrats shoot themselves in the foot. Hey maybe that's why they want gun control :lol

This is most likely around the peak of Kerry's popularity. Face it, Kerry is no Clinton. First, he's not nearly as charismatic. Second, he's more liberal and has a voting record to prove it. Once Kerry is nominated, he'll have to face his record, and Bush has a huge campaign account for commercials. Coupled with a good economy in 2004 and his national security weakness, looks like Kerry should change his name to John Mondale.

Unfortunately for the Dub he has a big monkey on his back called Iraq. His misleading of the American public to rush into war there based on dodgy intel will definately bite him in the ass.
