Was that so hard? I appreciate debate. I don't know enough about this topic to engage but I just hate seeing dismissive posts.

What part of the Constitution allows for the government to take private property and give it to others? (off topic so you don't actually have to answer)

A fair point.

A lot of Oregon people thought that the bakery ("Sweet Cakes by Melissa") got railroaded.

He definitely has a liberal progressive gay rights "agenda", and was a very political person in a job where that wasn't needed.

He tried to run for Secretary of State of Oregon and lost.

He now has no governmental job.

Thank God.

Since libs love this site so much, you can't bark about it:

Mike Pence Supported 'Gay Conversion' Therapy? : snopes.com
Quote:
WHAT'S TRUE: Mike Pence once supported the use of federal funding to treat people "seeking to change their sexual behavior."

WHAT'S FALSE: Pence never stated that he supported the use of electric shocks or "gay conversion" therapy.
For the reading comprehension impaired, it meant those who were looking to change their OWN behavior. It was never him trying to change it.

More fake news from the left.

The end of gay bullying? Let's hope so.
Um.... your comment is very misleading. This isn't an article about bullying gay people. It's about gay people who bully Christians. By the way, there is a big difference between an actual fact and an op-ed. The link clearly says "analysis/opinion" so it's the writer's personal thought. This statement, for example, is such BS

"For gays to be attacking others with accusation of discrimination is now laughable. The only people these days who are threatened with unemployment, the destruction of their business or public shunning because of who they are, are Christians."

There is no war on Christians, no war on Christmas, blah, blah. The worst offenders of human rights are Christian Fundamentalists who want to impose their personal beliefs on others.

So freedom and liberty means that you can deny others freedom and liberty?

More fake news from the left.
Why does anyone think HIV is a gay virus? Sure, in the 80s the majority of cases reported were in the gay community, but it's ignorant to believe it doesn't affect all people.

Even if it were, it's sad that anyone would want to stop funding research. Do we point to every person who has a heart attack and say "I told him to change his diet and exercise more!"

You may honestly believe everything you are saying, based on that last post though, I doubt.
