We are few but we are resilient against the homosexual attack on America and American values.

From my point of view, it looks like the anti-gay crowd is running for that cliff.

Cruz is just fostering hate and discord within his base. A very dangerous political game. He know's he hasn't a snowball's chance in hell of the bill passing. I'm sure once he gets the political mileage he's looking for, he'll pivot his base to focus their hate on the Mexicans. Legal and illegal. Hitler did the exact same thing with his brown shirts. It's been proven time and time again that the best way to rally the base is to give them something to hate. Hate is an easy emotion to conjure. Compassion and understanding is much harder.

I believe what Windsor did was to say to the federal govenment you are unable to not provide benefits to lawfully married couples. Windsor did not set forth the criteria to do so.

Cruz has siezed that ommission by the court to say...it up to the state's definition of marriage to be the determining factor.

I think the court was leaving the process to congress to figure out, but cruz got a jump on everyone.

Wow.

Some people think violence is the answer to everything.

Actually they have already reached it and are falling like rocks.

As my pastor once said it: " If you haven't had a collision with Satan it's because you and he are going in the same direction..."

I don't believe in your religious views, so what your pastor says doesn't matter to me.
