The pr...We really do need to define this properly. The problem we have here is the complete failure of a culture that once knew the difference between right and wrong; a failure orchestrated by social progressives who want nothing more than the destroy individual rights, property rights and capitalism. <br /><br />In point of fact, I don't care what goes on between animals because has nothing to do with what humans should or should not be doing. The fact that ancient cultures made it a part for their agenda is meaningless also.<br /><br />The reality is that Judaism was probably the first religion to reject this conduct, followed by its descendan, Christianity, and both were based on the idea that there was a supreme being who determined what was moral and what was immoral. If we accept that premise then we must accept the moral admonitions presented. If we don’t accept them then we have no moral foundation for anything we do, including rejecting all the leftist ideas. We should remember that the binding force in the early 1900's for the progressive movement was religion, called the Social Gospel They believe that socialism was the practical application of Christian ethic. <br /><br />However, Marx and Engels hated Christianity and the United States for two reasons; both are a confirmations of the rights of individuals; which is anathema to the originators of socialist thinking going back to the French Revolution through Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and those modern socialists who are no longer traitors and spies for the Soviet Union; only because it no longer exists. <br /><br />That is what socialism is all about; the destruction of Christianity and Judaic/Christian principles in order to make the state the ultimate moral authority. They have worked to do this through a back door by calling this a civil rights issue. This is only part of the package of disingenuous policies promoted by the left. We need to define their goals. Once that is done we can easily see why they promote the things they do.Rich Kozlovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13745960671409518147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-49660607363547867652012-06-02T03:32:13.522-07:002012-06-02T03:32:13.522-07:00@Alan Marriage is between a man and a woman by YOU...@Alan Marriage is between a man and a woman by YOUR definition, not as an internationally accepted definition.<br /><br />Homosexuality is present among lots of animals, lions and swans being two of them.<br /><br />Also I find it funny that you think that the Greek/Roman/Norse gods were "fictional characters", and you god, for some unfathomable reason, is completely real.<br /><br />The reason gay people make so much noise is that they are constantly being oppressed by anti-gay people/activists.<br /><br />Fun fact: Homosexuality were very common among Romans, then christianity came along and deemed it wrong.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16402178680410443916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-46064075270613325092012-06-01T21:18:25.034-07:002012-06-01T21:18:25.034-07:00alan caruba...

To those of you that stated that this has no effect on our youth you obviously never read comic books. Anytime you read anything you find yourself walking in there steps, connecting in relevant ways, and being able to relate to them in certain situations.

Last I checked, the American Way includes, according to the 14th Amendment, equal protection under law. What that means, for the unenelightened, uninitiated, or just plain closed-minded bigoted and stupid, is that every American is equal in the eyes of the law and has the same rights and protections as everyone else. The American Way also includes not discriminating against anyone based on race, creed, color, gender, so why isn't sexual orientation on that list? One's sexual orientation does not make them any less deserving of the rights and privileges of their fellow Americans, and anyone - ANYONE - who believes otherwise is not only prejudiced and bigoted, but is un-American. I am a heterosexual male who believes in the principles of freedom and liberty for which the founding fathers fought and died, and for which our brave soldiers have continued to fight and die over the past two and a half centuries, and anyone who believes in freedom and liberty will agree that the rights that we have as Americans should be enjoyed by ALL Americans equally. Rationalize your bigotry any way you want, but denying any rights to anyone based on nothing more than to whom they are romantically attracted goes completely against the principles of liberty and justice for all upon which this country was founded. 80 years ago, people like you were absolutely convinced that allowing colored people equal rights would destroy society. 60 years ago, people like you were absolutely convinced that allowing interracial marriage would destroy society. When will you people open your eyes and wake up to the fact that all men are created equal? Who are you to decide who gets what rights and who doesn't? There's a word for that. Tyranny.

Marriage is between a man and a woman and between them and their god and church. The government need not interfere for any reason other than for tax purposes, recognized property rights and inheritance rights and other similar necessities of a couple. <br /><br />That being said, since the govt needs to know who is married to who and keeps tabs on these numbers, it too should develop a mechanism for same sex couples as well. NOT MARRIAGE...but a recognized union of two people who choose to live in a similar fashion of husband and wife. One where they can own property together, pay taxes together, inheritance, hospital visitation rights etc. and so on. <br /><br />As far as calling it a marriage, that is between the same sex couple and their church and their god. <br /><br />To not allow some form of union for same sex couples would be to deny a remedy or relief to a large and growing portion of Americans who have chosen to live a certain way and want to enjoy the teh same benefits of their union as every other couple does. If they are living together as a couple, than it should only be fair that they get the same advantages as well. <br /><br />There should be a recoginized union, just don't label it as marriage. Just because someone is gay should not mean they have to pay the government more money in taxes, not be able to have visitation rights in a hospital, pass on property at death, have health care coverage of their loved ones, etc. <br /><br />Maybe I'm wrong or shortsighted, but surely there must be some rememdy for these 11 plus million people. <br /><br />Am I wrong? Is there a better solution? I am certainly open to other ideas. But to not give these people any relief will only cause a larger problem.sdkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09144897729994333372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-21499849939002493122012-05-25T06:19:58.814-07:002012-05-25T06:19:58.814-07:00@Chip: I knew there was a reason I do not read com...@Chip: I knew there was a reason I do not read comic books.Alan Carubahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901162110385985193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-59294892470897851992012-05-25T02:11:40.115-07:002012-05-25T02:11:40.115-07:00Contradict yourself much?

May I also point out they are, as you put it, fictional characters and make believe. That means they carry no real weight in the real world unlike you argued during the first half of your post. Let the consumer decide. If they are okay with it, they will buy the product. If they are not okay with, it they won't. You are not a consumer nor have you been for a very long time. Your opinion has no bearing on the current product DC puts out. If you were, you would know there are 2 lesbians, 1 bisesxual, and 1 long term faithful gay couple. These characters have been around for awhile. You would also know there are the same types of characters in the Marvel publications. In June a gay couple will (gasp) wed! With all due respect, the issues that confront the US have nothing to do with which fictional character is in or out of the closet but jobs, economy, and government spending. Write about those things. Write about how we need to stay focused on Obama's record and educate people on the facts of what the president has failed to do, but don't distract from it with an issue that will not sway the left or the young people of today.

I was on a reading binge, and thank heavens I was, because now I know that there's just so many good books out there.<br /><br />Anyway, I think the idea behind that particular present was as a bit of a joke on his part.<br /><br />As it was, I actually did read it. Not only was it a really good novel, but it was a rally great insight into history as well. It was in fact, a 'ripping yarn', a really great read, and I was just so glad that I did read it.<br /><br />On the strength of that I went out and got hold of Anna Kerenina, which was actually even a better novel.<br /><br />I was quite surprised really, and now, whenever I hear of someone who has actually read War And Peace, I don't think of their pretentiousness, just the fact that they appreciate good writing.<br /><br />Tony.TonyfromOzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272988986249451458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-54989320937507395822012-05-24T18:09:00.405-07:002012-05-24T18:09:00.405-07:00@Kunoichi: It's also a good idea to remember t...@Kunoichi: It's also a good idea to remember these are fictional characters, not unlike the ancient gods of the Romans, the Greeks, the Vikings, and others.<br /><br />They are neither straight or gay.
