I always thought Republicans argued for limiting government involvement in people's personal lives. But just look at what they argue for, Federal laws against gay marriage, outlawing any abortion (even when the mother's life is at risk), english as a national language, and diminishing unions rights. How can anyone with half a brain take them seriously?
traduction please o_0 when I ask has homosexual you for peace in the world are? he answers me yes for the end of poverty? yes end of the accidents? yes diseases? yes want you to adopt a child? yes but how you will make to adopt a child if there is no more of war, of poverty, accident and diseases because there N will be more D orphan and it been able to hide me its rejoicing towards these misdeeds the conscience is thus made, nobody cannot wish the end of its misdeeds while benefitting from it
Doesn't he realize there are actually single folks out there who are NOT gay? Like him, soon, because I bet his wife (if he has one) is just about sick of him.
Actually studies show that homosexual couples statistically make better parents. This is simply due to the fact that when gay couples decide to raise a family, they plan for it. A gay person can't have a drunken night of gay sex and wake up the next morning with a fertilized embryo in or next to them.
Why is this guy voted into office? Really i'm irish and i just can't understand some of the craziness in america. He was that terror babies lad too on Anderson cooper. People from texas cannot be this crazy, are they?
@ovadose101 I'm shocked by it too. This is what Hamilton wanted to prevent, knowing that some Americans were retards who would naturally vote for other retards
@AndreastheRed -- you asked "How is this guy a representative?"
Ever seen the movie -- Deliverance?
He represents an area of East Texas where the people take a great deal of pride if one of their kids gets out of Jr High & where the people look like Gohmert & you can tell they have very few teeth when they talk.
Why not just decide whats fair to present day americans, not by the writings of guys from a hundred years ago but from the americans living thier lives today?
@porterwake It is indeed. For the record i say again that homosexual marriage is protected by the constitution under a loophole amendment. The founding fathers put in an amendment known as the Ninth amendment; it bars the government from restricting unwritten(any rights the founding fathers did not list) rights in any way. So yeah; every politician voting against gay marriage should just as well be pissing on the constitution. Spread the word.
I seriously dont give a fuck about this dumb guy because as a single person and all other single people you constantly get penalized so I dont know wtf hes talking about married ppl get penalized. Fucking retard.
What an obtuse dipshit. The reason the single tax-payer exemption is higher is because... (wait for it)... it's ONE person earning an income versus TWO. Two people can bring twice as much earnings into a household than one person, so therefore more leniency should be extended to that single person. How these goobers get elected is a amazing.
Louie Gohmert is TRULY Sarah Palin's DICKLESS and BALLESS BITCH and PUSSY! Palin is VASTLY SUPERIOR to this ass-clown in every single way! Palin would EXPOSE his PUSSY for the whole world to see!
Yes, studies from Bullshit U. has proven that kids need 2 parent-households. So the government should take away kids from their 1 parent if they divorced or the other parent died.
Response to the Founding Fathers argument: yeah, they also had slaves and didn't let women vote. Unfortunately, your constituency doesn't exactly revile that like the rest of us do.
Response to history of country: irrelevant. It used to be popular to lynch coloured people for expressing their rights. See above for more information.
Response to "studies": outright lies or utter falsehoods. I also suspect laziness and bias due to an agenda. Regardless, outright, flat-out, untrue.
"The Founders, they all understood marriage to be between a man and a woman", and that blacks are 2/3's of a person, and that women aren't capable of good voting decisions.
actually studies have shown that children raised in a gay household end up being more rounded successful people then those in straight households. Also I hate the argument that gay households are the breeding grounds for future gays, when if you think about it, straight households are the breeding ground for future gays
I don't see how anyone could support this jobs bill if they only took the time to read it. This bill provide tax incentive to employers to hire veterans and people who have been unemployed for at least 6 months and effectively discriminates against all non-veterans and those who have not been unemployed for at least 6 months.
Also, why no talk about Subtitle H - "National Wireless Initiative" or Part II of subtitle H - "Public Safety Broadband Network"? Don't be in the dark, read the bill!
@nvsyru I actually agree with those things. I understand that some people don't have the same views I do. I just want you to understand that our support of the bill doesn't arise from our not reading it.
"the founders understood marriage to be between a man and a woman"... they also thought drilling holes in people's heads would improve their mental health.
@lapugenero But one when group is being treated unequally, it is the duty of society to step up and help them more until they are treated equally. Once they are equal, then they should get no more than anyone else.
I live in a country where gays are 100% legally identical to straights and our society has benefited from this. It meant we had to work harder for gays than straights for a while, but once we were done getting them equal, everything was golden.
@lapugenero sounds good, until you realize every american doesn't need help or don't need the same help. what you espouse is just an excuse to ignore the marginalized.
Founders probably did think that marriage was between one man and one woman. But even if they did, they would have found it unconstitutional to legislate over it.
The Founding Fathers did hate gay people, see Federalist 69 written by Hamilton under the pseudonym "Uranus." In Federalist 69 Hamilton argues that sodomy is a practice of decadent monarchies of Europe and thus is anti- republican and perverse. Hamilton was one of the original drafters of anti-sodomy laws in America.
@Plato86 According to Wikipedia, Hamilton was all over the place with respect to religion. He seems much more like the precursor to today's modern Republican politician who uses religion for little more than political gain.
I think every the Congress should introduce a compulsory annual mental health test for all it's public officials in order to be deemed fit for office... In practice, I suspect few republicans would pass. No, but seriously! I am just amazed by how public officials in USA can say the most stupid and insane things without ever being held responsible. You just can't help to wonder whether some of these "characters" really are in their sound minds or not.
I am for gay barrage and gay rights, but it is clear to me that children are raised best in a two parent home with a man and a woman. Children are not only need role models of their sex but of the opposite. Sex.
@alansjf33 Who says a child raised by two homosexuals can't have role models of the opposite sex? What do you base your opinion on? Can you show us some evidence that a children raised by single mothers/fathers or by two parents of the same sex are worse off than other children?
@mistacramer Well, I was just responding to alansjf33:s comment. Frankly, I don't know whether it's important or not. I don't have any real evidence on hand but I don't think it's all that hard to imagine that it might be important. Especially if a woman is raised by two men or a man is raised by two women I would assume it's important to have role models that represents the same sex it might be important. I don't think that is all that far-fetched. Do you?
Yes. A respectable person is a respectable person. Things like sex, gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, sexuality, etc. are all superficial classifications that do not interfere with the nobility of an individual.
@alansjf33 You're suggesting that the only place kids get these role models is from inside the home, and I'm sure you'd agree that this is just plain absurd. Parents are one of MANY sources kids can and do utilize as role models.
The founders also stated that slavery was a good thing, that blacks only counted as part of a person, and that women were property of their husbands and had no rights.
Oh please idiot far-right redneck militant slave state conservative, your founders were the King of Spain and he understood that Jews either had to convert or emigrate the fuck out.
.
Spare me the "our founders bla bla", I can't believe all the references to the national founders in the U.S.
It's worse than Turks and Ataturk, good grief stop the nonsense romanticized nationalism.
@underbjorn "Geez christ Americans, who elect these fucktards?"
You're seeing how loud money talks in this country. Not just from corporate campaign "donations", but also how much pork a congress person can bring home to his district.
haha im sure everyone agrees that if texas wants to go then no one will stop them. My question is how does idiots like this guy get in office in the first place. I know many politicians have crazy ideas but Gohmert took it to new heights
im curious, could an american please asnwer me this, do any of you live in the present? every american i've debated or seen debate always just quotes either studies, other people or the bible, do you ever have a thought of your own?
Every nation has their fair share of idiots. Poll after poll shows that the average American is NOT what conservatives, or the right wing media assert they are.
gay people are tired about hearing about gay people, love equal marriage and such but my mind right now, first and foremost is on the freaking economy, god I hate the repugs, Really?
Yeah the founders did. That is why they defined it marriage between a man and a women in our founding documents.... Not.
Oh really kids are raised better in a 2parent home? Wouldn't a gay couple be 2 parents if they had a kid... DUH. But I know what he was getting at and their is no evidence to back that up. Their is evidence that shows kids raised by 1parent do, should we take the kids away from their single mother/father?
Where does it say in the constitution that businesses have the right to become so huge that they become a beast that cannot be fed?
Where does it say in the constitution that banks have the right to rob people blind, trick you with misleading wording, and gamble with other peoples money?
Oh, right, the fifth revisionist amendmant, no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property unless their bank files fraudulent paperwork to get them evicted.

@alansjf33 Who says a child raised by two homosexuals can't have role models of the opposite sex? What do you base your opinion on? Can you show us some evidence that a children raised by single mothers/fathers or by two parents of the same sex are worse off than other children?

Why would someone need a role model of a particular sex? Homophobes are really grasping at straws.

@mistacramer Well, I was just responding to alansjf33:s comment. Frankly, I don't know whether it's important or not. I don't have any real evidence on hand but I don't think it's all that hard to imagine that it might be important. Especially if a woman is raised by two men or a man is raised by two women I would assume it's important to have role models that represents the same sex it might be important. I don't think that is all that far-fetched. Do you?

Yes. A respectable person is a respectable person. Things like sex, gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, sexuality, etc. are all superficial classifications that do not interfere with the nobility of an individual.

@alansjf33 You're suggesting that the only place kids get these role models is from inside the home, and I'm sure you'd agree that this is just plain absurd. Parents are one of MANY sources kids can and do utilize as role models.

The founders also stated that slavery was a good thing, that blacks only counted as part of a person, and that women were property of their husbands and had no rights.

Oh please idiot far-right redneck militant slave state conservative, your founders were the King of Spain and he understood that Jews either had to convert or emigrate the fuck out.

Spare me the "our founders bla bla", I can't believe all the references to the national founders in the U.S.
It's worse than Turks and Ataturk, good grief stop the nonsense romanticized nationalism.

You're seeing how loud money talks in this country. Not just from corporate campaign "donations", but also how much pork a congress person can bring home to his district.

Yeah the founders did. That is why they defined it marriage between a man and a women in our founding documents.... Not.
Oh really kids are raised better in a 2parent home? Wouldn't a gay couple be 2 parents if they had a kid... DUH. But I know what he was getting at and their is no evidence to back that up. Their is evidence that shows kids raised by 1parent do, should we take the kids away from their single mother/father?

Where does it say in the constitution that businesses have the right to become so huge that they become a beast that cannot be fed?
Where does it say in the constitution that banks have the right to rob people blind, trick you with misleading wording, and gamble with other peoples money?
Oh, right, the fifth revisionist amendmant, no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property unless their bank files fraudulent paperwork to get them evicted.
