You want the Bible: 2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you: that if any would not work, neither should he eat. Matthew 25:29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. The same with: Matthew 13:12 Mark 4:25 John 15:2 etc, etc. Please don't try to use scripture to convince conservatives of what you feel is right. Convince us with something that is fair, balanced, logical and WORKS. I've personally experienced socialism in other countries and I have yet to see a country as great as America. Why try something as old as socialism, when we have something in America that allows everyone the opportunity to live the lifestyle they choose? Sure, there is always room for improvement, but it only works when you WORK at it, not expect others to hand their labors over to you, because you feel that they should share. Believe me, Americans are very charitable and generous. We voluntarily give to those in need. We don't need the gov forcing us at gun point to hand over the fruits of our labor. |

The majority also ruled when they went to the polls on election day 2012 and reelected Barack Obama, who supported same-sex marriage, as opposed to Mitt Romney, who thinks marriage is only between one man and one woman. BTW: when this Supreme Court ruling came down, 37 states had already legalized same-sex marriage, including Florida. |

Back to the majority. The majority want to abolish Obamacare. The majority do not want their tax money to pay for everyone's college. The majority feel that free cell phones are being abused, that food stamps are being abused, that the border needs to be enforced, that illegals should not be given taxpayer benefits, that marijuana should not be legalized for recreation purposes, etc. |

We will find out if all this is true on election day 2016. |
Marriage should have been left as, and as I believe and many others (probably a majority), is between a man and a woman. Two beings that can create another being.
Those who prefer other than man and woman should be called something else. We all know it was not called something else because they wanted whatever benefits accorded a man and woman in marriage. The usual use, abuse or hide behind the law and most importantly a means for politicians to create a new voting block. We are whoring away and redefining certain aspects of our lives and beliefs we have had for centuries to accomodate the few (and re-election!). |

As to the majority of the population the wrong question is being presented. The question isn't are you in favor of same sex marriage? Rather the question should have been do you believe the definition of marriage should continue to defined as being between one man and one woman? What the Supreme Court did was to negate the definition of what is a man or what is a woman and by blurring that distinction they have opened a pandora's box. This issue should not have been left to the supreme court but to individual states or as a referendum. Roe v Wade was also bad law and has divided this nation since its ruling. The same sex marriage decision is roe v Wade on steroids Personal Best Regards: |
Some here are erroneously trying to make us believe that since The president is a democrat elected by the majority.
Yes to a point. More accurately he was elected by the majority of those who voted. He in no way represents the real majority. The gay marriage issue just happened to be rammed through the political and judicial system and does not represent the way the real majority of Americans feel. If there were a nation wide referendum on the subject of the definition, the real majority would have defeated what has been done recently. So it is helpful to define the participation of select events. |
