If Republicans are for small government and don't want to have anyone's ideals pushed on to them. Then why do they try so hard to impose there beliefs on others? Correct if I'm wrong because I'm not religious but last time I checked Jesus was a great teacher of tolerance to every people and to their culture and ideals. So why the need to bend everyone to think the same way you do?

If anyone would ban porn....they obviously are robots.

Oh god Bob again. Damnit why is this in my state. Also for the porn thing they obviously haven't seen Robot Chicken that shows what happens when you take away the porn.

@LexeconKiddo you made the CHOICE to A) meeting the man and staying with the man and B) marrying the man..it was your choice all along..Im not saying gays shouldnt be what they want to be: GAY..all I am sayin is that its a choice they made to be who they are and how they identify themselves..is it that hard to understand? there is no birth defect called gayness..its a choice they made and if theyre fine with it then why is it OK for them to shove it down our throats in acceptance of that choice?

@BlackMambakins Well, I have been married for over thirty years and have Children who have never been in trouble and happen to believe in God. Religion is not always the reason civilizations fall or people kill each other. The former Soviet Union was an atheist state but sixty million people were killed under the iron boot of that government. How do you explain the Marxist atheist group the Tamil Tigers ? They happen to have the most suicide bombers Per capita than any other group in the world.

[BlackMambakins]

@xxdonaldqxxx If religion was shoved asside the world would be a better place thats factual. Just because one does not believe in any religion does not take morals, standards and/or restraints as an athiest I hold all of the above. Married over 20 plus years loyaly great children who are hardworking educated never been in any trouble with the law dont drink or do drugs. See your a sheeple who needs herding not all of us need sir/mam to be told whats right & whats wrong it comes instinctual. :)

@luckyStrike89ru nope. you just have the iq of a wet carrot so you couldnt possibly grasp what i was getting at. lulz? seriously? what a loser. who says mother and father guide culture? god? if thats the case then you have no fucking argument.

@123trymeout 123, I'm female & married to a man. A man who fits this particular physical type I seem to have been born being attracted to. Was that a choice? Or what you like in (apparently) the opposite sex? Then why is it OK to try and force people not attracted to other humans like yourself to not be together? Do you have a reason besides your own arrogance? (And no, other also than things written in the Bible?)

123, you failed to even answer my 1st argument, you just assumed I'm gay! lol

[noellennon]

Even Michelle Bachmann won't publicly sign this.

[xpandergt]
