Bill: Could you please share with us who is it you refer to as “….those folks, domestic and foreign, who are the ones who pay for Presidential and Congressional campaigns.” ~ Thank you ~ Greg

JenB said, “I can see how a perfectly rational being can support oranges now being called giraffs…” Really? Because that would be highly irrational. You see, you cannot “disagree” with what is objective truth. You can refuse to believe it, but that does not change the nature of the truth in question. In this case, marriage is an objective reality that you, apparently, refuse to recognize for some reason or another. That would be irrational.

One cannot disagree with the truth. It simply is what it is, and whether or not you believe it is irrelevant.

It is a little subtle, but Ed Koch and Mort Zuckerman are supporting Turner in order to throw a fright into Obama whom they consider to be harsh on Netanyahu and Israel. By electing a Republican, they wish to pressure Obama to reverse course on Israel in order to put him in the good graces of those folks, domestic and foreign, who are the ones who pay for Presidential and Congressional campaigns.

I can see how a perfectly rational human being can support same sex marriage. And, I don’t think that belief should necessarily bar him or her from public service. After all, my firmly held beliefs are often in opposition to those of others, and I don’t want to be silenced just because of those beliefs. However, I find it truly abhorrent to claim that one’s faith in a traditional religion, with a defined set of morals, is used to defend something that is, in fact, contrary to said religion.

Dace: Have you heard this before? “Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!”. It sounds to me like a hurtful comment directed at those Jesus disagreed with. Was the Christ being “unchristian”? I agree with Bruce, for the following reason: “Woe to you that call evil good, and good evil: that put darkness for light, and light for darkness: that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.” (Isaiah 5:20) And if you think that homosexuality is not specifically prohibited in the bible, you need to take a closer look at the pentateuch.

We don’t need hurtful comments for those we disagree with. It’s quite unchristian.

Do something irrational, such as make believe that two men or two women can marry, and you should lose your job as a public official.
