Huckabee Likens Gay Marriage to Incest, Polygamy

Why regulate social norms anyway? This country was founded on the premise of freedom. There are plenty of things that society finds offensive, but outlawing them would go against that basic tenant of our founding principles. I find it disgusting when obese women wear midriff shirts, I get sick to my stomach to see an old man in a speedo, and I hate seeing anyone make out in public. However, if it gets to a point where the government starts at outlawing actions that society finds offensive, I'll know there's no freedom left in this country.

Mike Huckabee, a possible Republican presidential candidate in 2012, says the effort to allow gays and lesbians to marry is comparable to legalizing incest, polygamy and drug use.

How do you guys feel about Huckabee as a possible GOP candidate? Like? Dislike? Don't care?

Huckabee isn't my guy, but he is correct in his slippery slope comparison. Once you start eroding away what the definition of marriage is, then you could make the very same justifications for polygamy. I won't go as far as incest, but you may have some Haight-Ashbury liberals that may like incest.

As far as procreation and keeping things going, they are not. It's a choice based on comfort level with the partner, the need to feel loved, and the feeling of acceptance. I really doubt the duck that's taking it in the tail feathers really enjoys it. Is that documented?? If so, how would they know??

I'm not sure what your point is. You said that gays were not a part of God's natural laws and I pointed out that there plenty of species in nature that exhibit homosexual behaviour. Therefore, they are a part of God's natural laws. In your opinion, God did make the animals, did he not?

I'm saying that it's stupid to use animal behavior as an argument against the bible. It's not like the bible goes on about how great animal behavior is.

You keep asserting that I'm arguing about the bible, which I'm not. I'm simply saying that homosexuality is a part of nature, as represented by the many animals who exhibit that behaviour.

On the other hand, you're arguing for the bible because....well, I don't know. I think you're trying to say that it doesn't matter what other mammals do, humans are somehow exempt from that part of nature.

Whatever. You're talking about God's natural laws or something like that. Unless animals are perfect models for how humans should live, I'm not sure why it matters. I don't really know or care at all about God's will for animals.

This is not surprising, he is trying to calculate his support among the Religious Right. Unfortunately for him, that will be the only votes he will receive if he decides to run. If Witch-hunter decides to run, he may lose some of his base.
