There is no question that marriage is beyond the scope of the responsibility of the federal government. All marriage, not just gay marriage. As it stands, 30 States ban gay marriage (N. Carolina just overwhelmingly passed a law against it, wrongly in My opinion) and they have that right. This is a States Rights issue.No, they are not. I demand that I be allowed to kill college professors who hand out less than A grades. If I get a big enough political following, do you think it is right that we should be allowed to kill someone, simply because we now have political power?
Do you even know what rights are?
No one has a right to be married, and the Presidents statements on this is another clear example of why he is unfit to be President of the United States.
If he is for gay marriage, great. But if he is for gay marriage because he was pressured into it, how can anyone expect him to stand his ground with the other nations of this world? To be President, you have to believe your views of the world are right and correct and not allow people to push you off your beliefs.
:0)
Who would be stupid enough to try to get college proffesors (Professors) killed because they hand out bad grades? Went right over your head, did it?
There is an element of intellectualism that is assumed in my statement .. but if you need a graphic depiction instead .. Civil Rights only came when African-Americans were in a position to demand them. Any questions? An element of intellectualism? Are you serious? You cannot even define what a right is, let along attempt to equate your position with intellectual reasoning. When Civil rights came about, African-Americans were still not in a position to demand anything. Perhaps you should bone up on your history a bit more. Without the support of others who WERE in positions of power, the civil rights would have taken much longer than it did. However, the point is this. Simply having numbers does not give anyone the right to demand anything.
Women's rights only came when women were in a position to demand them. Again, incorrect.
Worker's rights, the right's of the disabled, gay rights .. any right achieved in this country came through demand. Again, incorrect.
If you take a look at the wall, you'll find handwriting there. :0) Yes, there is. however, it does not say what you think it does.
There is no question, no doubt that gays will be able to marry in this country and it won't matter what people who don't like it think about it.
The handwriting is on the wall. :0)
However, just because there is a large enough following for a thing, does not mean that the Constitution and other laws of this nation should just be ignored or abandoned. We are a nation of laws. Not demands.
The Constitution doesn't even mention marriage.
I'm betting that there were at least 30 states that banned marriage between black and white PEOPLE .. and therein lies your problem. They are PEOPLE .. and they have every right to that which is granted to PEOPLE.
"Blacks weren't in a position to demand" .. how stupid and completely out of touch with history .
