Today's source material:
I know what you're thinking. It's "who gives a shit?", right?
Appearing on the American Family Association’s radio show this week, Huckabee was discussing gay marriage and said: “If the Republicans want to lose guys like me — and a whole bunch of still God-fearing Bible-believing people — go ahead and just abdicate on this issue, and why you’re at it, go ahead and say abortion doesn’t matter, either.”
“Because at that point, you lose me,” Huckabee said. “I’m gone. I’ll become an independent. I’ll start finding people that have guts to stand. I’m tired of this.”
And then those "independents" would vote Republican, just like Tea Party "independents" vote Republicans, and nothing would change. So seriously, who gives a fuck? Well, lots of crazy people, apparently, as you'll see below the fold.
There is no evidence that anyone is born with same sex attraction. Actually, the development of sexual attraction doesn't even become part of a person's awareness until years after their birth. If someone is homosexual, that's their issue, so stop forcing acceptance and promotion on the 98% percent of the population that could care less.
They care so little they are filing lawsuits and appeals trying to keep people from marrying each other. That's how little they care!
Heterosexuality is the way God created the world to be and it was good. The choice Huckabee is talking about is your choice to be homosexual. That's why when God created man he gave us free will. God said go forth multiply and be fruitful. God made us stewards over his creation and it was good. You can choose to do what you want, ignore Gods word. That is your free will but you can't change biology or how you were created, by a man and a woman. Statistics say that less than 1% of the population is homosexual. 10% of the population are alcoholics. Alcoholism is considered to be a disease. Homosexuality was once considered to be a mental illness so if it isn't that and isn't a disease and no gene and as long as you have the bi involved who can't make up their minds, then it's a choice.
Even if we stipulate all your wrong assumptions, if your god gave you free will, why do you have a problem with people making choices?
Huckabee's downfall is that Mike supports BIG, BIG Government, he just wants Republicans putting the bonds of tyranny around us rather than Democrats. He supports spending like a drunken sailor as long as its not for Planned Abortion hood...
Fucking RINO Huckabee.
The last presidential election we won, 2004, was won because of social conservatives, particularly in Ohio on "gay marriage". Blue collar and other downscale white voters, who are the up-for-grabs voters in elections, are not going to troop to the polls for capital gains tax cuts, privatizing Medicare, and lowering safety regulations. But they'll show up to fight back against far leftists, especially those who cheat via the courts, trying to smash our normal culture and values.
2014 is just like 2004!
Social conservatives are part of the coalition, along with economic and national security conservatives. You can't have prosperity and a strong military in a nation with collapsing values, dysfunctional families with no breadwinner, ridden with drug addiction, poisoned against our heritage and culture, etc.
Remember when there were no dysfunctional families ridden with drug addiction? Then the gays got married and it's all been downhill ever since.
I became an Independent a long time ago. While I remain a Conservative with Conservative values, I will never trust either party to do the right thing by We, The People. After all, they have their own best interests in mind.
TRUE CONSERVATIVES, on the other hand, are busy looking out for other people as they scream "DON'T TAX ME!"
Too many conservatives and too many Christians fear standing up to the gay lobby. Even Christian leaders have jumped on the gay marriage bandwagon.
My only concern with the gay issue is their decision to co-opt the term "marriage". There's nothing similar at all between a heterosexual union and a gay union.
Straight spouses don't love each other?
bye bye fat boy. inner city abortions and contraceptions are the only hope for our nation
Finally, someone angry at the lack of racism in the story.
Thank you for standing up for your convictions. I am sick to death of people bowing to political correctness and kissing hispanic butt just to get votes. Illegal is illegal period !!!
And seconded...
I agree with Huckabee.
Not being able to discriminate against gays and women would take all the fun out of being a Republican. All that would be left to hate would be blacks and college professors.
Ha ha! Liberal trolls are funny.
I will follow you Huckabee! And so will most Christian-Americans!!
And by "most", he means him.
Well Huck, I am a die hard Constitutional Conservative, but do not refer to myself as a republican. The lifelong RINOS like McCain and Graham are not Conservatives. There may be two or three actual Conservatives in congress right now. That's it.
Wow, someone in the group of Michele Bachmann, Steve King, Louie Gohmert and Steve Stockman isn't an actual conservative?
Thank you Congressman Mike Huckabee for standing up against gay marriages. In the first place Government has no business in deciding on this, they have more important business tend.I seriously wonder why our President is away from office vacationing, campaigning so much instead of tending to business, like securing our country and outsourcing our jobs to foreign countries.
You think the president should spend more time outsourcing jobs to foreign countries? No wonder you're a Republican.
What I would like to know is just where are all the 85% of the population that claim to be Christians.
They cannot serve two masters. They must decide if they are Christians or Marxist communists as is the democrat party.
God knows what is in your heart but he does not know how you will choose.
Huckabee, I´m with you I left the republican party years ago for being Marxist democrats lite.
I am also angry at the Supreme court where there are 6 Catholics I believe and could not get 3 of them to take up the homosexual marriage issue so now the people are at the mercy of appointed mostly atheist judges who overrule the majority vote of the people.
God is not happy with America.
God's spokesman has spoken.
There is only one God who created everything and everyone. He never changes. All those false Christians who do not follow the Word of God by making up their own rules are anti-christs as foretold by God and His Son Jesus. They are disciples of Satan and his children through Cain his son called kenites in His Holy Bible.
Uh oh. The anti-Christs have a voting majority in this country. And their number one agenda item? EQUALITY. And everyone thought it would be legalizing virgin sacrifices.
Religious conservatives. / Tea Party nuts. PLEASE tell us us all how forcing millions of low income, welfare sucking, gun hating democrats to have even more babies, instead of abortions, helps our families or our way of life. In a very short time the democrats will have a super majority everywhere....
This will cost millions of us our 2A rights along with our way of life.....Please explain it to me so I can tell my kids why we did this to them...
The only chance conservatives have is if liberals abort themselves into extinction! Changing their ideology sure isn't an option.
