What's done is done and cannot be undone.

You say we don't murder but when the people of the Philippines demanded their independence following the Spanish American war the US Marines slaughtered over 200,000 of those who fought us for their freedom.

And we did not go to war to free the slaves. The war between the states was fought over the right to nullification. When the Confederacy was unable to nullify federal laws they opposed they attempted to succeed from the union.

Beginning in 1846 when President Polk, fulfilling the doctrine of manifest destiny went to war with Mexico and wound up with a third of that country to 1996 when the US extended Most favored trading status to China and tightening the trade embargo on Castro's Cuba I count a total of 87 interventions in Latin America alone .

Notable coups by the Cia that failed are Cuba and Venezuela and the most recent in Ecuador in 2010. George Bush tried to con the people into believing that "They hate us for our freedoms" That's a lie they hate us for our Capitalist imperialism

My comment in regard to corn pone was directed at all Southerners. If you recall the photo, both races were represented. I'm sure white people in the South also eat pone. The prime comment was regarding how very few had joined in this grand production and their disorganized presentation. I'm used to seeing more people than that at a bus stop. Similar to the Spring gathering in Washington.

Will you give up on the hate already! You attack one and all who disgree with you or even think differently - regardless of the subject. For your own well being, you should seek some help.

Not all folks conclude equality is the same as what you conclude - and the final story of how helpful or destructive same sex marriage to society is yet to be written. Both of these give credence to the reality that you have limited inputs.

There was a time when a definition of marriage was pretty simple - man and woman. Perhaps you can write a new definition, but to my knowledge there were no restrictions on anyone from marrying one under that definition - with the exception of age of consent and relationship.

By the way, you might want to check that idea that Republicans were the only ones - DOMA was widely supported by Democrats - signed by a guy named Clinton - and as recent as the 2008 Presidential campaigns - both major Democratic candidates opposed what you call equal rights. Suspect your sources don't bother to either inform or remind you of that simple fact.

Same sex marriage is a relative new concept in America. However, Norway has had de facto same sex marriage since the early90s, so they have had more experience with it. Anthropologist Stanley Kurts in"The Eng of Marriage in Scandinavia" writes that when we look at Norway we see a place where marriage itself has almost totally disappeared. Marriage and childbearing are no longer connected, and two people of the opposite sex raising children in a committed relation are no longer deemed necessary. On the whole, only 37 percent of people from countries with same sex marriage think they should marry if they want to have children, while sixty percent of people without same sex marriage think so. (source The Future of Marriage by David Blankenship.
It was never the intention of activists for same sex marriage to have marriage be common in same sex relationships. Professor Judith Stacy of USC stated "I object to the profoundly discriminatory and antidemocratic character that the policies (marriage) promotes (Judith Stacey "Letters" The Nation October 1, 2001. Her disdain for marriage is so great that she actually applauds rising divorce rates. Despite this Stacey is one of the staunchest supporters of same sex marriage. In fact most people who professionally dislike marriage support same-sex marriage (The Future of Marriage) Michelangelo Signorile a prominent "Gay Rights" activist says "The most subversive action lesbian and gay men can undertake is to transform the notion of family entirely." (Signorile "Bridal Wave OUT December 1994) In countries where same-sex marriage is legal there is a rush for marriage at the beginning, but the end stage numbers indicate 1 to 4 % of homosexuals actually marry. (Blankenhorn "The future of Marriage") As far back as activists book "After the Ball" the concept was to change the culture fully , reinvent society, Some of the writings by the authors indicate that, in addition to making all sexual behaviors "normal", their backgrounds as "progressives" were for a collectivist state controlled society.

No,,,, I attack racists,,,,, and so do the moderators,,,, that is why your comments were removed... because as a liberal dem,,,and phony moral person,,, you reveal the contempt and hatred beneath your veil of feigned compassion,,,, but then I said that the first time I met you,,,

Admit it,,, you are a racist,,, everyone already knows it aleecha,,,, and you couldn't suppress your need to defile blacks, it is in your democrat blood,,you cannot hide the dripping condescencion and arrogant anger in your words, and it is strange that you never said anything racist about other tea party gatherings,, just the one with blacks in it,,, and since that was the topic at hand, it was not a mistake,,,

Now that we have established your racist tendencies and leanings, the lies of your morality, and phony compassion for the downtrodden, we will begin to work on your leeching, lying, and using of the women at the church.... what evil intent is behind that????? What is really in your heart where they are concerned???? You don't "like them" you use them, and have said how stupid you think "those people are for their beliefs",,,,, that is the same thing you alluded to towards the other races,,, it is just going to take time, and the real aleecha will emerge again,, because racism and hatred is a constitutional malfunction, a character flaw... probably why you are never really close to anyone,,, if they get to know what an ugly person you are deep down,,, then you can no longer hide it.
And for you, it is important to hide your hatred and contempt.....
