Sorta´ reminds me of the old bumper sticker, ´Support mental health or I´ll kill you!´.

Nothing like institutionalizing insanity.

No, it´s time for the Republicans to break away from the hard-right Religious Right.

Why, because the gay vote is such a big majority? I didn´t know the "religious right" had any power in secular France, where there have been demonstrations against gay marriage. Or in atheist China, where it is illegal.

Life would be much easier if we could all just agree with Democrats, liberals and other Leftists. Just forget that there are actually strong arguments for retaining the definition of marriage. Forget that boys benefit from having a dad. And a mom. Forget that girls benefit from having a mom. And a dad. This isn´t about children. It´s about what adults want. It´s just so, so - yesterday, I guess, to stand for traditional values. Oh, and don´t forget - if you disagree with the Left, you must be a hater. Yes, a Hater! Are you cowering in the corner yet? Good! You should be ashamed of yourself for being a Hater! All you Haters, capitulate now! Renounce your conscience! Throw off the heavy yoke of primitive religious beliefs and moral values! Stop the Hate! Stop it Now!

Many in the GOP have already broken away from the "hard-right Religious Right." That merely means many in the GOP have gone against the teachings of the Bible. The Left did that a long time ago thus our once great nation is what it is today. Many Moderates here keep telling us Social Conservatives to join them and the Left. Sorry, but I will stick with the Bible and although I may lose a few battles, I will be a winner when it is all said and done.

Interesting strategy advocated by the libertarians among us: the R party should break from the religious right and then blame the religious right for failing to vote for the R candidates. No lose for libertarians, well, with the exception of continually losing elections but they can never be blamed for that.

Visualize a liquid mix of semen, feces and a little blood.
Now tell me again that this is normal.

Well the GOP can try changing their stance & see what happens. At this point my give-a-dang´s busted. My guess is they´ll lose more voters than they´ll gain.

And there will always be another stance on another issue, previously considered common sense by all, which suddenly becomes the new "hate" & they´ll be right back where they started - the less cool party, trying to keep up with the downward defining of deviancy, but never quite managing to.

Nice summation #8. Ditto.

Yankee Doodle went to London riding on a pony. Put a feather in his cap and called it macaroni. That didn´t make it so. Feathers isn´t macaroni.

Marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman. You can call something else marriage but that won´t make it so. If two guys want to live together or two girls want to live together or two guys and three girls want to live together, It makes no never mind to me - call it ooglefru if you like- but I´ll stick with Webster´s definition.

Let´s move on. Kick out illegal whatzitsnames; provide work for people who want it; keep children in school and actually educate them. Incarcerate criminals. Kill the enemy. Those kinds of things.

Pander to the inner-city entitlement junkies and they´ll love us. Nope.

Pander to the open-border Hispanics/Latinos and they´ll love us. No luck there either.

Pander to the gay marriage crowd and the GOP ranks will swell. Sense a pattern?

Understand the subject for what it really is all about. It´s not about gays being able to call their union marriage. They already have all the benefits from a point of law. What the real subject is the destruction of our society as we have come to define it. We are now a country in decline population wise. No society has ever progressed while the population declined. The progressives know this all well and good, and know the way to cement this trend is to convince other wise sane citizens that same sex couples will benefit society. HOW?

Marriage "equality? The English language dies a little more each day.

Gay marriage gives gays no new rights that they currently do not have. It is however a contrived issue put forth by people who have little interest in gays, but who further wish to erode societal institutions that made western civilization a greatness to be envied and exported. Marxists, anarchists, those who do not believe in God, much less the divinely inspired tenets upon which this nation was founded.

But marry your partner. then marry your sister. your dog. your favorite pair of shoes. your grandmother. your late grandmother. In sequence, all at once. At some point, yes, you stand athwart history and shout STOP.

These media-inspired social movements seem only to be occurring in North America and Western Europe. Maybe China should encourage gay marriage - maybe even require it - like their one child policy, as another way to bring down the birth rate.

This harping will further bring down the GOP - like David Cameron´s insistent on same-sex marriage is destroying his Conservative Party. Yesterday in a by-election his party finished third - behind the Lib-Dem and the (actually conservative) United Kingdom Independence party (UKIP). Labour was fourth.

Kudo´s to Representative Stowell. Just as it is getting harder for the Left to paint Republicans as racists when America can see Herman Cain on Fox, Senator Tim Scott on Capital Hill, and Dr Ben Carson arguing against the President on national TV -- it will be harder for the Left to paint Republicans as Homophobes when there are no longer any GOP platform planks calling for marriage inequality, and when GOP candidates who are accepting towards gay Americans are no longer exorcised from the Party.

So, you think you can win elections without social conservatives? Who´s going to replace them? The 2 percent of the population with same-sex attraction? Their sympathizers, who already vote Democratic?
This is a receipe for the GOP´s decline and defeat. And that may be why it is being pushed in RINO circles.
