Who wants someone like that taking their boys on day outings? A dimwitted statement is a dimwitted statement.

Abrahamic churches disagree with progress, want to control the lives of people that aren't even in their congregation! Same as it ever was.

The church needs to extend the same courtesy and not meddle in the legal affairs of non-members.

Your life is unaffected, so get over yourself.

That's the end goal. As it is, if you were with your loved one and were constantly at risk for a wedding shop saying "We won't help YOUR kind here! Go be lesser citizens somewhere else!" you'd appreciate something like this.

I have no obligation to sacrifice my basic rights in order to help you raise a new generation of dimwitted bullies. You don't get to make demands of other people to teach crap to your kids. People like you bleat about personal responsibility all the time, yet you always think the rest of us are supposed to be denied basic humanity so your little miscreants never have to see the real world. Pathetic.

All his economic statements are the same neocon rhetoric about "We can be a great country, but we're all doomed right now" with nothing to back it up. No substance, no plan beyond giving the wealthy even more of a tax break, just pandering with hollow statements while telling entire subsets of the American population that they're not really people.

You've just spent so much time sucking on the big fat propaganda that Fox News and other neo-con psychos have shoved down your throat, that you'll swallow this load that anything that doesn't match your crazy fanaticism is "left wing". Not to mention, since the word "marriage" was a Latin-derived translation and not directly biblical, it clearly existed before any widespread acceptance of that text.

But take any of us away from the person we love with all our heart for six months while we're doing some form of duty, and see how well we follow every little rule of decorum. We're all only human.

Oh wait, no I don't because our laws AREN'T based on the ten commandments, but more on universal ideals of prevention of direct harm to others. Fix your rectal-cranial inversion.

But marriage is the legal term and should apply legally to everyone all the same. Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:07:52 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Voters-may-face-2-ballot-measures-on-gay-marriage-139072019.html#IDComment288979155 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Anti-gay-church-to-protest-Powell-boys-memorial-service-139022314.html#IDComment288370546 And once again I've tried speaking plain English only to have it completely twisted by someone with 3rd grade reading comprehension who doesn't even know the difference between "except" and "accept". I'll spell it out as simply as I can. If you wanted to have a big Christian marriage and have it recognized by the government for all legal purposes, I would never try to stop you or interfere in your life. You, the WBC and the rest of the anti-gay crowd have never and would never extend me that same courtesy. So you are cut from the same cloth. So don't ever try to call me intolerant of religion when I simply don't like arrogant fools using it as an excuse to attack or dominate the lives of others.

You think they just woke up one day and started attacking funerals? No, it starts with someone thinking he has to punish people for being gay because of his religion. Then that toxic thinking spreads that his family has the right punish people for not attacking gays along with him. Eventually it's easy to justify attacking anyone at their weakest emotional moments to further your position and that's where this comes from. So don't pat yourself on the back just because you're not there yet. If you think your opinion should dictate the lives of other people, you're only a certain number of steps away.

You're entitled to do that. But it never seems to stop there. It's always the attempts to legislate that our lives should be more difficult than yours or that we owe some kind of fealty to your opinion, religious or otherwise. Believe what you want, then leave the rest of us alone and all that money and effort you want to spend to somehow punish us for being gay, bi, etc, try spending that on your own happiness or helping those that need it. But I've never seen an anti-gay church or group actually do that. You spend your time and effort trying to make sure we have a difficult time of it based on your opinion. That's where it goes to far.

No thought for the feelings of others, no compassion for anyone, just the sadistic sanctimonious attitude that they should get their way no matter who suffers. Someone else's funeral is no place for ANY political demonstration, much less one based completely on hate and fear. WBC, leave this family alone, they've done nothing to you or had anything to do with any cause you want to attack. You want to tussle with someone, I'm sure there are a few people that would gladly name the time and place.

You are either willfully lying or woefully ignorant about the actual founding our democratic republic. You want theocratic government. That's not here, it's across the ocean, into the coast, stop at the desert.
