Now that I think about it, I think there is a valid "it rubs me wrong" argument. Dennis Prager's. He said that at its basis it blurs or entirely eliminates the difference between men and women. It necessarily challenges that any such difference exists, and that's counter to the truth. This is as much a case against homosexuality as against homosexual marriage, but I'm not in favor of disallowing homosexuality. Let people have sex with whom they please, but to the extent that this behavior receives societal sanction, it should be restricted.

If leftists are searching for a motive to expose, that is a good motive to have.
For God's sake please start your thread on this topic where you can fully explain how rational your opinions are. I can't wait to watch CK tell you what I've told you in his way since he seems not to understand what I say until he's said it. I hope especially you remember the part about the icky factor. How many years now have I been telling you that. But wait, what the hell am I doing. I really don't care. The blind are blind and there's nothing I can do about it.

It would be asking them to die to their egos. We have watched them double down over and over again. I think Nate Silver would know what to do with that.

I would agree with that except Nate Silver already knew I would and beat me to it.

Yeah, again, humans are quite intelligent, so any notion that there would be a lack of context as to the role or men and women in society is overwhelmed by human's (I would agree innate) intelligence to distinguish between men and women. You'd have to be very specific as to what actual scenarios are causing this confusion in same-sex households with children. Are they socially impaired? Are they handicapped otherwise? Studies or research to back any of that up? If not, well, your argument becomes purely speculative and not the least bit interesting or creative.

A worthy candidate on these boards to represent the Spidey ethos on the other side of the political spectrum.

Question is do we need that.

It's time for the Democrats to start funding the more crazy Republicans. Someone needs to set up a super pac to fund the most insane tea party types and fuel their political ambitions.

It's time to drive the GOP into oblivion. Make them nominate the most pro-rape, anti-American diversity, anti-science, anti anything weirdo creeps. Help them with these nominations. Make sure that they are also all old, obese, just generally creepy looking, and make all sorts of racist innuendo.

And unleash them into the GOP and watch them devour the GOP base as the establishment politicians scream in horror as a fat tea party rape creep in a colonial wig and revolutionary militia outfit and musket primaries them out of office.
