As you might expect, the Fox News story on Iowa's supreme court overturning the state's gay marriage ban drew a lot of responses from their fairness-and-balance-seeking audience.
For your enjoyment, befuddlement and horror, I thought I'd share some of the ... choicest comments from the lunatic fringe modern face of the Republican party.
When the Constitution was written, the authors never envisioned that men would actually stand up in public and marry other men. Same with women. No wonder the Constitution doesn't directly address this institutional perversion.
Fun fact: When the Constitution was written, the authors never imagined women voting or black and white people marrying each other. No wonder the Constitution didn't directly address these institutional abominations.
It's not a religious issue. It's a moral issue. And morality isn't necessarily tied to religion. It's immoral. Sorry, but myself and a great majority of the American people think so, however the judges don't give a rat's petutie. So much for community standards.
We should ask GOD,who is supreme not the Supreme Court.Does not sound like rocket science to me
Let's ask God about adultery, idols, not keeping the Sabbath holy, and honoring thy father and mother. Since God's law should be supreme in this country (which was set up to not respect an establishment of religion, but let's forget about that part), I hope these things are banned as well.
I know several gay people and the vast majority are gay because of an event or series of events that took place in their life, not because they were born that way. Maybe some are, but I have yet to meet one. So if you're preaching that its genetic, I guess you're the stupind one.
Let's pretend, just for a moment, that it is a choice to want to marry a person of the same gender. It's also a white person's choice to marry a black person. Why should we be legalizing a choice??
THIS IS TYRANNY. THE PEOPLE SPOKE! THE FOUNDING FATHERS HAD THE ANSWER FOR TYRANNY. THE DAY IS COMING!
I just want to add a comment to all the God hating,pro abortion, tree hugging liberals - The government may be run by the liberals, but the COUNTRY is run by the conservatives. There is going to be a tipping point in the anger of the working, God loving, pro life people in this country. And it's going to be ugly!!
Whatever you say, McVeigh. Mind if I call you that? How about "Tim"?
Democracy becomes non-existent when we become controlled by a group of autocratic judicial tyrants. Our forefathers new what to do with tyranny. Maybe its time we as a people put a stop to judicial tyranny by removing judicial appointees recall, impeachment or other means as necessary. Our right to govern ourselves is being eroded by judicial tyrants. It must end.
The horror. The oppression. Someone might be able to fill out a joint tax return with someone of the same gender... or even worse, inherit their stuff if they die.
if you remove all the super natural events from the Bible, it happens to be the most accurate history book ever written, that’s not even disputed. If it’s so accurate about the natural, maybe you shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss the super natural.
Never mind that there are no external sources confirming the slavery of the Jews in Egypt, Herod's slaughter of the innocents, the Roman census that would have required Joseph to return to Bethlehem, the Roman policy of freeing a criminal for Passover, etc.
Regardless, even if it were 100% accurate, methinks other relatively accurate ancient histories ascribe various occurrences to the God/gods of their respective locales. Should we consider their supernatural occurrences too?
Gay people gained a right today but many others lost the right to vote. Majority of the people in Iowa didnt want this but the courts changed it anyway. This is the reason we fought england in the first place for taxing everything we touch and also taking more and more rights from us everyday like our Government is trying to do now.
Activist judges legislating from the bench. My hope was that this could stay at the state level. They're going to keep pushing this until someone raises it to the US Supreme Court, THEY will legislate from the bench, then the US citizens will have no other option than to amend the US constitution defining marriage as between one man and one woman - period. You know what that means? It means that these states will no longer be allowed to have these marriages because they will be unconstitutional. PLEASE, don't force our hand.
This country is failing in part because these tiny minority groups are getting everything they want! The MAJORITY of Americans are opposed to this, and it only creates more anger in this country! Being politically correct is BS. Anyone else with me on this!
Brown v. Board of Education: the ultimate case of activist judges overturning the will of the people.
Oh good! Now the polygamists can breathe with a sigh of relief. I see no reason on earth why a man cannot have 16 wives or chimps. Let's stop being hateful or ignorant like the left-winged loons tell us we are when we say we are against new marriage laws. WAKE UP AMERICA!
Next, you'll be allowed to marry your freakin goat. Well, why not!!? At least the libs will say that.
Yeah, umm, I don't think "the libs" are saying that. Goats are not consenting adults.
If this is forced upon all 50 states, it WILL disintegrate our union. If somehow our nation manages to survive it, can you imagine what society will look like 100 years from now? If the US Supreme Court rules traditional marriage ONLY unconstitutional, and the constitution can't be amended to overcome this, they cannot deny the same rights to bigamists, poligamists, incesters, and swinging ones of all of these groups to boot. Can you imagine a marriage consisting of 10 women and 5 men? Will they all be married to one another, or will some be married to a common partner but not to one another? You know who advocates this? Divorce lawyers! The year 2109 is about the time that the courts start considering to allow marriage between adults and 9 year olds. Their rights can't be denied either. After all, I as a parent consent my child to be married to this adult, they love one another, and this new age psychologist is stating that my child is mature enough to handle it. Does this sound like fiction? If you would have told me in the 60's what we're dealing with today would be real, I would have told you that it's fiction. Do you remember what collapsed the Roman Empire?
Say, didn't Rome convert to Christianity about 150 years before it fell? Also, umm, last I checked, polygamy and child marriage aren't marriages between two consenting adults.
I hate to tell you that's NOT GOD's Will. You better read your Bible if you think it's ok for man to sleep with man or woman to sleep with woman. That's definitely NOT ok in the Bible that I read. I speak from experience that GOD can rid you of those feelings!!
Oh dear.
Looks like the muslims were right after all. We are the evil empire
Why do you hate America? Perhaps you should move to Waziristan and hang out with your brethren?
God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve
I know a few Steves, and it's really unfair to say that people named Steve aren't God's creations.
Ick. Rewarding bad behavior. Again.
since when is sexual preference a civil right? That is all this is about it sexual preference. So basically every perversion under the sun is a civil right now?
Hey all you homosexuals! Go back to the closet and take your perverted lifestyle with you and stay out of the public!
I have a tingling feeling that when a lot of people go to meet God, their will be a large, collective "OOOPS, you know they were all right! We blew it! Can we get another chance to change our minds?"
Free will is a gift God gave to us. I'm sure there are those that really have no idea they're offending their Creator. I'm sure there are many more who know this behavior is immoral and sinful. Eternity is a fairly long time. I think I'd consider repenting.
Having been raised Catholic, I've been taught that the best way to get to heaven is to (among other things) regularly seek Confession and take the Eucharist. If we're enforcing things that will 'get people to heaven', I recommend force-feeding of communion bread to everyone.
Well you know how they seperate the men from the boys here in the San Francisco area? With fire hoses and pick axes.
I have absolutely no idea what this is supposed to mean, but ... it sounds kind of scary. Maybe illegal.
Also, God put man and woman on this earth to replenish the earth. We all know that Man with Man or Woman with Woman can't replenish the earth so that is against what God's plan was.
I also propose that married straight couples that choose to not/are unable to have kids have their marriages forcibly dissolved. If they continue to have relations, stone them for adultery.
...
Hold me.
In conclusion,
