No. Just more of the same. No Hope and Change



Obama's in election-mode, and he's sucking up to his base in every way he can and trying to take the spotlight off the economy for an instant

Has Holder ever defended DOMA?

 

[Ernie S.]

Hmmm suppose the Bush administration had decided to defy Congress and refused to enforce hate crimes legislation. Wouldn't that outrage the left? How is this different. obama and holder are bound by law to enforce the laws of the land. They do not get to pick and choose nor decide on constitutionality.

They just fucked themselves.

This will be what the 2012 election is ALL about.

He's either given up, or has decided not to seek reelection. This is the greatest club he could give an opponent to beat him about the head.

There is a difference in "not defending" and "not enforcing," and that will be their argument. However, it is a very fine line, and I see no way for ANY politician in ANY era, to walk it successfully.

Obama just handed his defeat to everyone who runs against him in 2012 (I don't think he will run again anyway, but that's another thread). His character and duty are now clear for all to see.

Or better yet...what if Bush had refused to enforce environmental legislation or worker protections....


Oops...he did

 

[Hot Wire]

Op-you are an idiot.

Said the blooming idiot!

Great news.

I agree...this is very good news. It was bound to happen sooner or later. Glad to see it finally.

Oh yes....please make your platform in 2012 about gay marriage and making the president enforce a law that will soon be declared unconstitutional anyways. Please do.

 

[WillowTree]

So we all agree. We are most definitely NOT a nation of laws. Got it.

Whether something is generally accepted, inevitable, or "going to happen" has much less meaning for a lot of us than whether it is RIGHT or WRONG. The fact that something is popular or accepted does not make it RIGHT. In fact, in today's society there's a pretty good chance that the popular thing is the WRONG thing.

Homosexuality is not Right on ANY level. Not as a lifestyle, not as a sexual act, not as the basis for a relationship, nevermind a marriage. You can make it Legal in whatever way you want; that will never make it Right or make us accept it.

UnConstitutional or Constitutional makes no difference in this case. It's all about RIGHT and WRONG, two things that both the Constitution and the Supreme Court stopped having any interest in a long time ago.

 

[Mini 14]

The issue here is not gay marriage.

If you don't see that, then you really aren't qualified to be hanging out on a "political messageboard."

I totally misinterpreted the thread title....

Don't worry, I most definitely WILL do just that. As I will continue to use everything in my power to ensure that my life is not adversely impacted by such people.

Ya gotta understand the left, they love this shit because it requires no real effort. You just legislate what you want. None of that messy problem solving required.
