What you call a ban is seen as a boycott by others. --

The irony of 'less government spending' conservatives feigning outrage at a government not wanting to spend $$$ on travel to certain areas.

And if you really want irony, look at Trump's travel ban which does not restrict travel to the US from the Muslim country whose citizens have been responsible for more deaths in the US due to terrorism than any other country.

So much for that argument.
Is this really what California is all about? Emotional tirades? They sure showed us!!! I say let them get married and be miserable like everyone else... so what they aren't attracted to the opposite sex. Who are they hurting? But no, by all means go stay in California enjoy the higher taxes and less liberties... never mind seeing what the rest of America has to offer... Could care less what 2 consenting adults do behind closed doors. Fly your rainbow flag for all I care, do what makes you happy. Waste your time with stupid issues instead of investing it into hobbies. You'll go to your grave miserable.
Don't sweat the petty things, don't pet the sweaty things.Or do and enjoy being miserable.
Me, I don't care about social justice matters. I only care about having fun. I don't adhere to fads and norms. No kids, no girlfriend, no wife, happy life. nobody and nothing to keep me from doing what I want, when I want, how I want. Its great. Nor am I petty. I judge others based on their character, it upsets libs because they try so hard to rip me apart or shun me, yet they can't. I don't judge based on skin tone, who they go to bed with, religion, what they've got between their legs. I have a very diverse group of friends, if you share the same hobbies as me, we'll get along just fine. I don't care if you smooch on dudes, like to shoot guns? Like dirt bikes? Quads? Jetskis? Racing? We can be friends. Want to be a whiney little brat and cry foul over this that the other? Keep it moving.
I'm not really sure what the point of this incongruous rant of phrases is actually supposed to be, but I suspect alcohol may be involved.

Nothing you've stated in any way relates to my comment, so I am not sure why you are quoting me, but it obviously makes you feel 'happy' and perhaps somewhat superior to others, so....thanks for sharing!

Btw, and fyi, South Fla is not 'conservative' at all. Not at all. Perhaps the very north and panhandle of Fla is considered conservative, but I doubt that is where most of the gay weddings are.

Trump's travel ban was from countries with weak or no central govt.

No state income tax, lower cost of living, making more than what I did in NY affords me a higher standard of living... the house I'm in, is a mansion compared to what 200k gets you in NY with ridiculous property taxes...
Idk man... there are giant flying cockroaches there though. That might be a deal breaker for me lol

No, that's not the issue anywhere. Try again.

But are we being 'protected' from those with weak governments or from terrorists? And how is the Saudi government any stronger than the government of Iran?

The fact is that none of the terrorist attacks in the US would have been prevented by Trump's travel ban list of countries.

And regarding those---true story--I have not seen any of them for years in S. Fla (the flying kind) for some reason, but while living in Manhattan, one flew in an open window. They've made their way north.
