Good show.

Yet another issue that I have no idea why it is even being debated. In the end, my final conclusion is fuck religion.

I think anyone with a basic understanding of the American constitution would have looked like a genius when faced with the moron interviewing him.

Ted Olson: Conservative, intelligent, sensible, and well-spoken. We need more of his type in government, and being represented in the media.

well then whats wrong with polygamy or marrying your sister? if you says marriage is a right for all then how can you still deny marriage for family members or for multiple people?

Marrying sister? Genetic reasons.

Polygamy? Nothing technically is wrong about it. But the FLDS likes to think that polygamy also means you get to marry and rape 10 year old girls. They kinda ruined it for everyone.

Religion-based moral values & pressure are a big reason that Prop 8 was passed, as well as affecting plenty of other things in this debate. It has A LOT to do with it.

Its also created suffering and immense political issues this issue being one of many. Think about how many wars have been created by religion. Im not saying religon is bad what im saying is for every good there is an equal bad and your opinion is all about what side you have been touched by.

I agree with with you that blank statements are a bit upsetting, but at the same time you have too look at both sides of religion. It has had a lot of positive affects on peoples lives and yet at the same time it has also negative affects. It all depends on what side of religion you stand on.

The thing is if you look at the majority of wars started in the name of religion, there is almost always some other underlying cause like land, grazing rights or water.

I would have a hell of a lot more respect for conservatives if there were many more like Ted Olson

ted olson is a true right winger. meaning he believes in equality for everyone and that people should be able to do with themselves as they please so long as they don't harm anyone else.

it's the religious right that fucks things up.

honestly i'm probably one of the last raging moderates left in the country. meaning that i don't care if same sex couples get married. doesn't hurt anyone else, and they should be free to pursue their happiness. abortion should be legal, simply because it's not my damn body do with you own body as you please.

on the inverse side, anyone who gets addicted to drugs. that's their fucking problem, i didn't tell them to do drugs why should my tax dollars go to helping them get clean needles or pay for their rehab.

just an example of how i think. and you'll probably find that a lot of true conservatives or libertarian people think.

it's the religious right that turns into a circus show of trying to impose their opinions on other people, which is why i generally don't vote for republican candidates.

The religious right is to conservatives as Hamas and Hezbollah are to Islam.

You, sir, are very wise.  Start a political party, and I will join.
