Steve Benson for December 30, 2013

One thing “mainstreaming” the GLBT community will do is show just how tiny a minorty they really are and that will end their political significance.

If a Gore presidency would have avoided a Obama presidency, then the damage is incalculable.

What exactly do you mean by “state’s rule?” You mean that false concept of state’s rights overruling the national Constitution? You’re about 145 years behind on that one.It is a judge’s job to correct for unconstitutional laws. A law which explicitly removes rights from a portion of the population is by definition unconstitutional.

This has to be particularly amusing to Benson, who is a former Mormon and indeed related to the late head of the Church.

Actually, the main body of the LDS faith officially ended plural marriage in 1890; those who were already married were allowed to remain so because the church didn’t want to split families, but the only such marriages afterwords were either unsanctioned or performed by offshoot groups.[]If anything, the push for LGBT marriage has spurred a push for the legalization of plural marriage. As reference, I point you to the ruling a bit back which said that “cohabitation” alone is not enough to prove polygamy; it’s only polygamy if one can show multiple marriage licenses. The vast majority of polygamous marriages don’t have such licenses, and so the ruling was a de facto legalization.

Mortyyou mean the citizen’s who voted? We are the ones that elected GWB, and I wish we could have gone a third term also.

What exactly is a crime against nature? Traveling faster than light? I guess if it’s a crime against nature, we should let nature deal with it.

Thought we had ‘freedom of religion’ here … guess I was wrong.

It’s not ‘freedom of religion’, if the powers that be can pick and choose which religions to support and which to suppress, and which religious practises to outlaw.

Nope, I’m not a Mormon, and I profess to no Christian beliefs. But you can’t have it both ways. Either we’re free to practise whatever religion appeals to us, or not.

In the here and now, not. Not legally, anyway.

Didn’t the “Sister Wives” guy just skate with the court because he’s only “legally married” to one of his “wives”? Interesting that LGBT is bad, polyandry is bad, but polygamy is more “acceptable” to the “guy crowd”? (As in “religious doctrine”)

Yes, similarly to how they did it during the Civil Rights era when “separate but equal” was struck down.

True, with a third term he could have turned his Great Recession into a Greatest Depression and we’d all be serfs. The difference is that republican serfs tug their forelocks to their owners and the liberals would rebel and be shot in the streets.

To tell the truth, the damage began W/ Carter, Slick and Abomination!

With Reagan and Bush, we had gas and jobs and Medical Insurance.

With the Abominable three , not so much.Truthfulness was also still in fashon, now not at all!

If yo like your Doctor— and I never had sex with!

Wow! first time in a long time - It isn’t Bush’s fault.
