By the way, your tin foil hat is on way too tight.

A New York Times/CBS News poll released Monday night shows the possible political perils of President Obama's recent announcement that he supports same-sex marriage.

Most of those polled say the president's position will not impact how they vote. But among those who say it will influence their choice, 26 percent said they are less likely to vote for Obama as a result, while 16 percent say they are more likely to.

Also troubling for the president is that a majority of voters suspect that his decision was politically motivated.
Poll: Obama

Now Croatia's president Zoran Milanovic has announced that the government will soon be introducing legislation to allow for gay marriage. If passed, it would be the first country in Eastern Europe and the first Slavic country to legalize gay marriage.



Seriously pathetic that America is so backwards. Cuba is going to pass gay marriage before we do.
Illegally immigrate to Cuba then. See how they treat their illegals

It doesn't matter what the "founding fathers" believed....it matters that most of America is Christian. It amuses me how many people hang their hat on the religion of a relative handful of people to argue this point.

My guess is that Democrats are now reconsidering making "gay marriage" a plank in the party platform considering independents are running the other direction and most American's see the flip-flop as a politically motivated event.

Once again, Barack Obama tried to fool Americans, and he failed miserably. As I said before, he thinks you're stupid. Luckily for America, there are still people who don't cater to this bumbling idiot.

Bandwagon appeal is probally the worst logical fallacy you can use.

Definition of BIGOT
: a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group with hatred and intolerance .

Kinda looking good on you.

That definition would fit someone who doesn't look favorably on pedophilia and beastiality as well. Those are people (in groups) too!

What most of America may believe is actually irrelevant to a Government that is not religious.

Since we have a constitution that protects minorities from the tyranny of the majority.

Either way, America is not a Christian nation. This is inarguable, as it is the founding father's exact words.

It's not bigotry to hate or speak out against those that harm and cause violence to others.

Pedophiles, by definition, harm children. Beastialitists, by definition, harm animals.
