Ah, the old "if you don't agree with me you're stupid" approach. Only serves to make yourself look dumber.

walk me through the genius that developed this ridiculous idea. I suspect Galileo wasn't one of the early supporters.

huh? Sorry but I do view anyone that can look at the first term of Obama and say "give me 4 more of that" as lacking intelligence

So are you ok with people considering those against gay marriage as bigots? Maybe it's just differing opinion.

they definitely have a bigoted point of view

honestly who doesn't in some form or fashion.

[rant]my cousins and their kids are very religious - like say grace in the restaurant, work in the church, go on mission trips - religious. One actually happens to be a Chick-fil-A owner operator. I've spent more time with this family lately and I'm continually humbled by how caring, giving, virtuous and geniunely good they are. Then I see some label them "haters", "bigots", etc. simply because on this one issue they see things different and they belong to the "religious people" group. they are demonized and mocked simply by affiliation.

It's like bizarro world. No one is perfect but these people are about as close as I've met to it; but to some who don't know them they might as well be eating live babies. [/rant]

I don't think most actually care, until they try to shove, via lawmakers, that view down others' throats.

but some many people try to shove their ideology down other's throats via lawmakers.

I just don't see how being against gay marriage rises to the top of the list for evil, bigoted ideology.

of course everyone is in their own way. I was trying to get away from attaching the word 'bigot' to an individual and instead describe the way of thinking. I personally don't necessarily assign evil/bad intentions to the word. For example, I don't see it as interchangeable with 'racist'

it doesn't for me. I just don't think these guys should be going out of their way to spend money in an effort to preclude folks from doing that which everyone else can do. I don't understand that mindset.

The USA is in war, 16 trillion in debt, gridlock in congress, millions unemployed, banks collapsing, bottom fell our of the housing market with 2 men running for POTUS that are jokes and the main topic of the day is Gay Rights/Marriage.

That is right were our priorities should be.

agreed. The idea that someone can find a lifestyle reprehensible becoming a cardinal sin is a simple offshoot of our country unwilling to grasp absolutes.

So can we change the constitution and allow Clinton a 3rd term?

IMO Clinton was in the right place at the right time. Still give him credit for being the best POTUS of my lifetime, but throw him in there in this political climate and I highly doubt we get the same policy direction.

If we could have Clinton with a Republican-controlled Congress for the next 12 years or so, I wouldn't complain.
