Why does gay marriage send you all into a maddening fury but income inequality does not? That's why I get the impression a lot of you are just middle to upper middle class folks with too much time to care about moral issues and lack empathy for people going through a tough time.
I mean do you guys seriously believe our problems are caused by moral decay?
What are we betting our next paycheck on? I wanna get in on this bet if it has to do with Texas legalizing same sex marriage. It is just a matter of time, so that is what I call an easy bet. When it happens, I will let you know where to mail the check.
I'll bet Texas won't even be the last holdout. I'd bet money on it.
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, the front-runner in the race this year for governor, has said the state has the right to establish its own marriage policies and will defend the amendment that passed with about 70 percent of voter support.
70 % of the people's will is going to be overturned because of what 1% of the population wanting to "marry"...unbelievable.
It's funny when a wannabe dictator screams about "the will of the people."
We're a Constitutional Republic. And our founders specifically included a non-democratic branch of government to keep watch over the other 2.
In a CR the people have a voice obviously the only voice being heard is a judges. The people's voice is being ignored.

I wouldn't care. I ignore most laws I find stupid or illegal anyways.

SocialistAtheist, wanna take that bet?
Nope. I think this democrat appointed judge will allow homosexual "marriage" in Texas I also think Texas will appeal to the SC. I think some state like Mississippi or Alabama or NC will be the last hold out.

Greed, hatred, jealousy, revenge, bigotry, etc. are all moral values aren't they ?
Society is such that we need the federal government to legislate our moral values for us.
2 of the 4 pillars of society are crumbling and government is picking up the slack and taking over their jobs.

Playing with the field we are given. Give me the reigns of the country I will have it whipped into shape right fast.
