So, does this thread illustrate anything to you?
Yes it does.
They typical rw who posts here wants to control who one marries, all facets of women's reproductive rights (while refusing responsibility for the inevitable children born). They want criminals and terrorists and illegals to get free health care that the rest of have to pay for as well as any and all guns and huge capacity ammo clips. They don't want to pay for their own health care, want to be able to get free health care at the emergency room (along with the aforementioned criminals and terrorists and illegals) and they want government to keep their hands off their Medicare/Medicaid/Soc Sec. They want to stuff their faces and pollute their lungs but don't want to pay for the resultant increased health care costs and throw a baby hissy fit if you tell them to exhale in their own home/car but not in mine (or any other place you wanna name).
They say that Obama wants to give "stuff" away but they say that only because its what they were told to say.
Fact is, its the right who wants it all for free, no responsibility for children, no responsibility for people shot dead and no responsibility for their own health care costs. The rw's don't want a nanny state but they demand exactly that.
IOW, its SSDD here at USMB.
Another wonderfully stupid post from a liberal moron. The only thing I want from the government is to repair the roads I pay for, defend me from foreign attack, and deliver the mail on time.
Fact is anything more than that invites liberal morons to affect my life.
The fact that an entire generation paid into social security their entire lives does nothing at all to faze a liberal moron. If they are actually paid what is due them from the government, they seem to think they are government mooches.
Same thing with the GI Bill. Have you ever stopped to think that the GI Bill is a perk for having done a job?
Nah, to them, it's just another handout from the government.
They want universal health care for everyone but the sick, I guess.
The idea of fair exchange is beyond their meager comprehension.
By the way, state governments have always controlled marriage. Of course, when the states don't see things their way, there's always a convenient judge to gainsay the will of the people.
Homosexuals have exactly the same right to marry as everyone else. If states want to expand marriage to people of the same sex, the states can. If the states want to keep marriage between people of different sexes, they can do that, too.
Civil rights do not extend to one's choice of a marriage partner. No, you do not have the right to marry anyone you please. No one does.
