Brownback: Protecting Marriage

[JBlue761982]

During WWII, German citizens overwhelmingly supported the Holocaust. Does that mean it was the right thing to do? And not long ago, the majority of USA population opposed interracial marriage. Despite the public opinion, federal law NEVER prohibited IR marriage; in 1967, Supreme Court overruled state laws that did so. Gay marriage is no different, and laws prohibiting it (e.g., DOMA) are also unconstitutional. A policy is not ethically/legally appropriate simply because voters support it.

Did he seriously say that gay marriage is what causes children to be born out of wedlock? What the hell is his problem? Wow......

[BlueEchidnaGirl]

But Senator, I just don't want to get married. That is a personnel choice of mine and nothing more. It has nothing to do with the fact that some gays are getting married. Societies are just going to have to deal with these decreases in marriage trends and stop taking it out on the gays because that's the cheap way to go.

Senator Brownback is a COWARD who doesn't answer my question: How are HETEROSEXUALS supposed to marry if they can not communicate in the first place? Brownback's pathetic 'Intl Romance Regulation Act' is one of the most DRACONIAN, UNCONSTUTUTIONAL laws is U.S. history. I am waiting for your explaination Senator Brownback.

Marriage between HETEROSEXUALS is also under attack because of Brownback. His atrocious 'International Romance Regulation Act' makes is a FELONY for law-abiding American citizens to communicate, write friendship letters, or even say 'Hello' to foreigners. You are now presumed to be a violent abuser under this draconian / unconstitutional law. Brownback is a COWARD who won't talk about this legislation.

[rebharath]

seems there's a logical gap in his statement when he cites northern europe. he seems to have excluded the huge number of common-law couples raising children lumping them in with "single parents."

Glad ya dropped out LOSER !

It's not a redefinition of marriage, idiot. Marriage has always meant a bond of love two people share, except to bigoted, closed-minded people like yourself.

[TolsmaLMC]

I think what Senator Brownback was talking about was natural law. When society tries to redefine marriage so that it contradicts natural law, there begins to be societal problems.

When is Senator Brownback going to answer my previous question? How are HETEROSEXUALS supposed to get married, when it is is now a FELONY for them to even communicate in the first place? Please explain yourself Senator Brownback. Tell us why you support so much radical Bahai feminists and their draconian 'Intl Romance Regulation Act' that you sponsored.

[BlueFireWitch]

Not all other cultures define marriage that way. The Native Americans have recognized it for centuries. Just because same sex marriage is allowed shows no correlation between the number of marriages all together. In order to present that as fact, you'd need research to say that there is a correllation. There is none, so you should retract your statement and rethink it.

On July 13th, 2004, Senator Brownback moderated a bizarre Senate committe hearing titled "Human Trafficking: Mail Order Bride Abuses". Brownback FAILED to invite any couples from the thousands upon thousands happy, successful intl marriages, or any employees of introduction agencies. Instead, only radical feminists and proponents were invited, spewing out their LIES, COOKED STATISTICS, PROPAGANDA, SENSATIONALISM, and 'MANUFACTURED' HYSTERIA. Senator, why did you exclude happy couples?

[RepealIMBRA]

Even the name of this hearing makes no sense! There has NEVER been a single conviction for 'human trafficking' involving and intl introduction agency (now known as a sinister-sounding 'marriage broker' according to Brownback and his radical Bahai feminist friends).

[RepealIMBRA]

Senator Brownback, the Bahai feminist proponents, and even the U.S. Government use DEROGATORY, OFFENSIVE language equal to the 'N' word. For your information Senator Brownback, there is NO such thing as a 'mail order bride'. No body is being shipped thru the mail. Nobody is ordered. And nobody is getting married when 2 consenting adults decide to cummunicate.

Your not going to win this election, with these beliefs. Get a life.

[RepealIMBRA]

Brownback, I'm still waiting for an answer to my question. HOW ARE HETEROSEXUALS SUPPOSED TO GET MARRIED IF THEY NOT ALLOWED TO COMMUNICATE IN THE FIRST PLACE??? For anyone that doesn't know, Brownback partnered with radical Bahai feminist organization Tahirij Justice Center in sponsoring this bizarre, unconstitutional legislation.

this dude's a wanker

[vint7107]

your mom's a wanker

[chuckytuby]

Good one, did you come up with that yourself?

[vint7107]

you're the genius who first said wanker tuby

[chuckytuby]

...I know.......?

[EmilyGreene1984]

I sincerely hope that Brownback stands by for what he's says. To be honest, I'm getting tired of all the hoopla about the Democrats and their views on things and people with conservative views are touted as "old fashioned", "Puritan", etc. Its really refreshing to see that Mr. Brownback stands against such things as homosexuality/marriage and abortion and promotes cutting taxes, faith, and good morals. He definitely will have my vote.

[lol998]

Emily, please nominate him. If he runs on God, Guns, and Gays, he will elect a Democrat.

This Democrat really wants Sam Brownback to be the Republican nominee.

[RepealIMBRA]

Senator Brownback also stands against heterosexual marriages. In fact, law-abiding American citizens are forbidden from any communication, or to even say 'Hello' to the opposite sex, under Brownback's bizarre 'Intl Romance Regulation Act'. It is now a FELONY with 5 years in prison and $25,000 fine. Heterosexuals can't get married if they're not allowed to communicate in the first place!

[Flusman007]

A new article titled, "IMBRA: Anatomy of a hoax" shows how Brownback was manipulated by the liberal women's groups and other lefties. Senator Cantwell made a startling claim at a Senate hearing that matchmaking services serve as a nefarious front for "International Trafficking of women" and so Brownback was snookred signing on as a leading co sponsor of the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act...

[TruthTaste]

Thanks Brownback, recently my mayor back downed on us and he voted the way he felt instead of voting for the people he represents that voted him into office, yes, I live in San Diego with the amazing Jerry Sanders.

Brownback is a HYPOCRITE! He says that marriage is an important, foundational institution. But Senator Brownback's asinine 'Intl Romance Regulation Act' makes it a FELONY for American men to communicate, write friendship letters, or even say 'Hello' to foreign women. How can anyone get married if you're not allowed to introduce yourself?
