Unlike right-wingers, we don't need someone to tell us what to think.

" - To be fair, the same groups exist in the private insurance industry. "Same sex marriage is illegal -making it illegal is contrary to the constitution in my opinion" - Could you explain that? Do you mean a same-sex marriage ban is unconstitutional or the opposite?

It's a good book and provides a research-based analysis (it presents the case for man-made global warming).

However, as President Clinton said, there's nothing wrong with America that can't be fixed by what's right with America.

Exodus "and the pig, which does indeed have hoofs and is cloven-footed, but does not chew the cud and is therefore unclean for you.

I can't wait until he signs the executive order to execute all Jews and dissidents in order to really bring this country together. I'm so glad he's following the policies of Hitler and Stalin.

If gay marriage is allowed, the problem scenario you described above doesn't exist. Also, in reference to the article, it looks like same-sex marriage is saving the institution - more marriages and fewer divorces.

As with many cultures, the outspoken minority have become the face of the quiet majority - radical, fundamentalist Muslims give the entire religion a bad name, as do racists/bigots at Tea Party rallies and crazy 'hippies" at anti-war rallies. Muslims in this country may look different and act different from many of us (especially in Iowa) but it seems many forget - they're Americans. No one has the right to treat them as anything less.
