		<description><![CDATA[Mr Burt Trattner: You can vote for whoever you desire. So you are pro-choice. Pro-choice what? Pro-choice killing a fetus in which month of gestation? Most of us on this comment thread agree on abortion under certain circumstances. Because some couples do not know that civil marriage is for the protection of the mothers, they are easy prey for men and even teen-agers who get them pregnant and then see that they are not ready. It is similar to the insurance system. Civil marriage is a protection of the young women just in case. And it is very necessary because  it shows them that, if they wish to be protected from potential poverty, they need to wait until they have a responsible father for their children. In a sense, marriage ties into abortion, and diminishes abortions and the abuse of young women who follow their instincts blindly without a clue of the consequences, once they get pregnant. Once pregnant, a young lady&#039;s body changes to that of a mature woman. There is no going back, even after an abortion. It&#039;s done. They&#039;ll never have, in general, their young-like figure.]]></description>

Mike,we are taking whatever action necessary to deal with the problem constituted by your being here and queer.Your needs are not met by treating your desires for same-sex sexual activity as entitled to gratification,and you need to be taught to abandon them.This is for your own good,and what you want harms you.

James,standards of conduct are NOT bigotry,and demanding that sexual relationships be between opposite-sex partners only is among the most important standards of conduct in human history.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[May I also note that if Christie promised to defend marriage when he ran for governor, nominating a judge that thinks gay marriage is an important cause is BREAKING THAT PROMISE. I added the following to my letter:

The marriage-supporters who voted for you in 2009 (I did not live in NJ at the time, but I will be in NJ for the 2013 election) applauded you last week for deciding to put same-sex marriage to a vote. You said you had to honor the promises you made to voters to support marriage. If you really hold by these convictions, you will not nominate Bruce Harris to the state Supreme Court because you will be giving power to someone who does not support marriage and who intends to use that power against marriage.

If you nominate Bruce Harris to the state Supreme Court, you will be breaking the promises you made to voters in the last election.

I WILL be a voter in the next election, and I will not be happy with a candidate who went back on his promise to defend marriage.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Poster #34:

The rights of a minority applied to people and not human behavior. There is no constitutional right to behave in a minority way and demand that it must be accepted.
 The double standard hypricritical sodoites demand a definition of minority that applies to their behavior only but to no one else.
 The Constitution and civil rights is consistent in this regard. Minority applies to people and not conduct.

When we go up before fair judges who put the Constitution first we win fair and square. The sodomites have to rely on their own membors infiltrating the legal process to win in the courts.]]></description>

This nation was founded in opposition to the tyranny of the King (aka the minority) that was being perpatrated on we the people (aka the majority.)

Tyranny: a: a government in which absolute power is vested in a single ruler

Once again we see the sociopaths that permiate the marriage corruption movement are intent on blaming their victims of the crimes they themselves are guilty of.

You are not kept from marrying anyone of the opposite sex of your choice - as law allows. however; you do not have the right to redefine your depravity in order to make it appear more acceptable than it ever was.

Tyranny is the suppression of many by the few. It appears that marrige corruptions supporters inability to dicern intent is not limited to the intended use of their reproductive organs.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Randy writes: &quot;The constitution was written with the intent of protecting the majority from the tresspasses (sic) of the same popular culture you are pimping.&quot;

No it wasn&#039;t.  It was written to guarantee the rights of the minority and protect them from the tyranny of the majority (among other things).   For example, the interpreters of this document have found that couples cannot be kept from marrying merely because the majority gets itchy at seeing an interracial couple (and at one point in this &quot;Godly&quot; nation, 95% of Americans found interracial marriage to be not just distasteful but immoral).

Roger Pilon (once part of the Reagan administration) writes: 

&quot;The majority must justify its claim to rule the minority; the minority does not have to justify its right not to be ruled.&quot;

Your arguments against SSM have been tried in courts across this country and have been found -- over and over again -- to be based on pure bigotry and hatred... as evidenced by your derogatory labels and thinly veiled threats and war analogies.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kieran, you asked &quot;Why is same sex sexual activity &quot;wrong&quot;?&quot;

It depends on if you are a morally grounded person. And for those with morals, same sex activity is equated with &quot;Adultery&quot;, Polygamy, Pedophilia, Fornication, etc. and all are immoral activities that do not promote children growing up being raised by BOTH of their biological parents (mother and father)

But some do not believe that adultery is wrong, or having multiple wives or same sex relations, just like in China they do not believe that stealing or &quot;bootlegging&quot; is wrong but most Morally grounded people believe do.   

And morally ground people believe that marriage is fundamentally about children and families, not just adult sexual &#039;happiness&quot;.

While most same sex marriage advocate see marriage as fundamentally about expressing who they love and receive benefits for their love, when actually, the benefits are supposed to be for the societal promotion of responsible procreation - not expressing love.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Don&#039;t call pro Choice republicans Liberal. You will destroy the republican party by calling pro choice Republicans liberal. Why do you think Santorum and Bachman Paul are by the wayside? Why did romney win FL. News Flash! Not because of the negative $ adds. It&#039;s for same reason that the other 3 qualified candidates are behind. If Palin was pro-choice McCain would be president.
Newts contract with America includes overturning Roe/Wade. That is NOT what most republicans want. And that does not make them Liberals. Pro-choice is a matter of individual conscience. There is no law that says you must have an abortion. You want freedom? Keep government out of my face and let me do with my own body as I choose. Wake up or we will never get rid of the Democrats. Stop calling pro choice republicans Liberal. You will drive away the Independents that is need for victory.

I am a conservative republican. I love my country, served and want capitalism to reign with small government. I want our own oil exploited. I want to end the idiotic Green movement. Calling me a Liberal is an insult. I am more conservative then the social right. Why? Because I will be willing to eat my craw and vote for an anti -abortion Republican to end democrat/socialist rule. The social conservatives will stay home and hand Obama a victory because they don&#039;t trust Romney or a Republican whom is pro-choice. . The Social Right is a vocal minority. Pro-choice republicans are silent because &quot;why throw the sand in the eyes of Right.&quot; The biggest voting block are the Independents. Woman went for Romney In FL because they want CHOICE! Take abortion and school prayer out of Newts mandate and he will win.
Although I cant justify Newt over his remarks about Ryan&#039;s budget. He called Ryan&#039;s budget Right Wing Social engineering. A lunar base on the mood is lunacy! When we went to the moon in the 60&#039;s at that time we were the richest nation on earth. Now we are broke. Does Newt understand that? Or does he think government spending for the program will help the economy? Hello Obama! Get me gas under a dollar and I will fix the US economy.]]></description>
