The Republican Rhino's come out of the closet? You can bet the country is never going to be the same. Soon the whole system will be trans humanism for all from A to Z.

Rep. Jody Hice, R-Ga., tweeted: “Today I voted NO on H.R. 8404, the ‘Respect for Marriage Act.’ It’s a slap in the face of our federalist system that is just the latest effort to impose their leftist agenda on the entire country.”

    Political preference has no limits..they are everywhere. A don't say a word about their beliefs or parades...

    The state should not be involved in marriage at all.

    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Agreed. However, I have had friends over the years who had "significant others". If a person can designate a wife or husband as a legal beneficiary, claim them on their taxes, etc., I have no issue with same sex unions for legal purposes.

    Having said that , I believe marriage is a union between a man and a woman.

    Note:

    This is one of the subjects that former forum moderators and administrators deemed divisive and subject to being poofed.

    Tread lightly.

    It should be a STATE issue, not a federal law!

  • Don McManusDon McManus Member Posts: 23,460 ✭✭✭✭

    The Federal Government uses marital status in the tax code, SS survivor benefits and no doubt a number of other ways.

    This being the case, it needs to legally define marriage. A bunch of pseudo-conservatives seem to think they have the power to define it, but the privileges and immunities clause tells us otherwise.

    It is about freedom and Liberty, not your personal preference.

    Freedom and a submissive populace cannot co-exist.

    The Temple and The Palace is always involved in political endeavors. For thousand of years a marriage was between a man and woman until The supreme court ruled otherwise. A civil union with all rights and privileges is as far as they should had gone on this but they thought otherwise.

    Natural law can be denied with science thus Trans humanism is the new paradigm shift coming to society. The Republicans are just falling in line to survive in a two party system.

    I doubt it'll make thru the senate or has it already? This is a serious question as I have had enough of this subject being blathered about every GD night.

    I never understood the argument, I too think marriage should be man and woman. If it is equal rights for benefits, health, taxes, ect. just change the rules to make the " union" have the same legal meaning as marriage but let it be called a union, not a marriage.......

    I have found that the gov't does not favor marriage rights much at all. Those living together without a marriage license get far many more benefits than those that follow the traditions of marriage!!

  • Don McManusDon McManus Member Posts: 23,460 ✭✭✭✭

    I agree 100% in principle, hillbillie.

    To do so, IMO, would require governments to change all reference of marriage to something on the order of ‘documented union’.

    I doubt this would fly with those big government consecutives who supported The Defense of Marriage Act.

    i really don't give a hoot what you call an institution that has a 50% success rate. the divorce rate is so high you shouldn't be claiming what is the right thing. besides, everyone should have the right to be miserable and broke.

    Just another sign!

    Ted Cruz has stated that the left has removed language that protects religious liberties of churches and/or private individuals who would choose to not participate in a gay wedding.

    If true, these GOP representatives and Senators are supporting a freedom enhancement bill that will be used to thwart freedom.

    Freedom and a submissive populace cannot co-exist.
