You really shouldn't use words when you don't know what they mean.

The gay army must hand out a cheat sheet that says "just call them bigots. It really doesn't mean anything, but it will shut down the debate and you win".

Sorry, it won't work.

Believing that marriage is defined as a union between a man and a woman is a legitimate position and if you can't debate without calling names, you lose.

Even Russia might be too mild for them.

Well, the people of Michigan will probably vote in favor of gay marriage if such an option was presented to them now and/or in the near future.

QFT. All the Muslims I knew from living 23 of my first 25 years in Metro Detroit were all about the dollar bills and would sell a cake to the PM of Israel if it made them a few bucks. People from hayseed communities, who wouldn't know a Muslim if he walked up and kissed them on the street, always have a strange perspective.

The US is not, nor has it ever been, a democracy with no rules. Sorry you don't like the constitution.

And in any event, if this were put up for a vote today, we wouldn't have all these marriage bans anyway. It'd survive in the deep south and some flyover states, but the rest of the country has moved on.

It's funny to watch them insist that the court system shouldn't be ruling on constitutional matters. How un-American. Even funnier to see them cling to the delusion that somehow the entire country is going to suddenly reverse the course of civil rights, like we're Russia or something. Maybe these people would be happier in Russia - a kleptocracy ruled by a de-facto dictator who doesn't respect individual rights and freedoms and actively opposes treating all people equally.
Actually, there's a fair amount of cross-over between those with anti-gay animus and those with man-crushes for the ex-KGB autocrat in the Kremlin.

Franklin Graham: Putin is better than Obama on gay rights

So much for your ability to comprehend that we're a constitutional democratic republic in which one of our many checks and balances is the judicial branch's power to determine what is constitutional.

Did they not offer civics at your high school, did you fail it, or did your education not extend as far as the ninth grade?

lol

Indeed, because an independent judiciary, a part of our system of separation of powers, granting more rights to a portion of the citizenry, constitutes a "tyranny." What's most funny is that just a few posts ago, you smugly told someone else not to use words they don't understand.
