LOL LOL MY GOD I CAN'T BELEIVE HIS LAUGHING, I HOPE THEY'LL THROW SOME TYPE OF DIRTY WATER ON HIM NEXT TIME. HE MUST EXPECT THINGS LIKE THAT. IF YOU ARE PUTTING YOURSELF OUT THERE LIKE THIS BIG HOMOPHOB, AND THROWING HATE ETC, THERE WILL BE REACTIONS AGAINST YOU.

PEOPLE WHO DON'T SHARE YOUR HATEFUL VIEWS ARE EVERY WHERE AND SOME WILL REACT.

@CityLoch I can get behind the idea of the states being laboratories for democracy when it comes to most issues like drug legalization, immigration, and etc. because at least those have solid, secular arguments to support them. However, when it comes to discriminatory and religious issues such as gay marriage, I have to draw the line. You may be fine to say "like it or leave" but I think that does a great injustice to those who aren't in a position to just up and leave their state.

@CityLoch I've been meaning to catch up on my Daily Show, so I'll be sure to look into Mr. Barton. Thank you.

[BeekersSqueakers]

@CityLoch I'd also like to extend the same appreciate for keeping this an enlightened conversation. I'm glad we were able to come to some sort of understanding.

I also wanted to ask about the point you had made about churches being mandated to perform gay ceremonies. I had never heard this before and was curious if there were some groups advocating such policies that I needed to be concerned about, or if it was more or less conjecture.

@BeekersSqueakers the point being that states are laboratories of democracy and some states r more religious or secular than others and I really value that about America because its boils down to freedom, liberty, n democracy, people vote on the laws of the land (state) n if they don't like it they take their human capital and leave, forced integration, racially or sexuall buildys tension ex the KKK booming in membership after Civil Rights Act, fed should protect u from invasion n create jobs.

@BeekersSqueakers Im a Ron Paul conservative, surprise surprise I know, so I see the role of government very different from you which will more than likely keep us in stalemate, let me draw an example. The Civil Rights Act was primarily directed at the South because of how rampant segregation/discrimination was even in the mid 20th century, conversely places like Boston had desegregated through state laws in the mid.late 19th century!! cont....

@BeekersSqueakers Ok yea but what are you really arguing here? this is a hypothetical argument and begs the question is the church really seperated from the state? This is much more complex than no or yes, to argue the former check out this guy called David Barton, he was on the daily show with jon stewart you can find his interview on the daily show website, click guests in the top right corner and then check the mark clergy, really interesting conversation between the two.......

@CityLoch I place a high value in the federal method of government, at least when it comes to rights and protecting minorities and I really disagree with the confederate mentality that seems to be circulating around the GOP. To me it seems like a way of sneaking around the rules to get away with things that would otherwise not be allowed like oppressing minorities on religious or racial grounds. So that's why I feel like the fed should protect gays on this issue.
