The reasons behind the president being a born a US citizen may be outdated, however, until a majority of citizens push for a repeal, it is the law of the land. In today's world, the argument could be made about a naturalized citizen having an agenda contrary to the best interests of the citizens of the United States. However, that is not the argument the op first stated. quote:
The upholding of Proposition 8 in California is a major human rights defeat in this country. I don't think the United States should be allowed to be called the "land of the free" anymore. It should be "the land of the free if you're a Heterosexual Christian", because that's what it really is. I despise people putting the Bible into law. Actually, there is no statement that the law was influenced by the bible. quote:
It's a violation of everything the founding fathers intended when this country was created. Actually, considering the various religious beliefs of the founding fathers, I find it hard to believe that they would have supported the legislation in any form. While it is true that some of the founding fathers had mistresses, slept with slaves, or committed adultery, at that time, homosexuality was still looked at as abnormal behavior. You have forgotten the puritanical standards under which this country was founded. quote:
It makes me think maybe it's time for another revolution. The founded fathers didn't ask for freedom nicely, they TOOK IT at the end of a gun. I'm starting to think that's the only way homosexuals will get true freedom. We may end up having to kill for it, taking that freedom at the end of a gun. The religious nuts have to be stopped! I'm so angry I can't even see straight right now. As stated before, the problem is not the "religious" nuts, but the amount of acceptance and tolerance for homosexuality. It has only been in recent years that the idea actually gained tolerance. Until the level of tolerance has reached a point where such unions are acceptable, things will not change. And promoting violence to achieve such ends actually makes your argument seem more the rantings of an unbalanced individual rather than the thoughts of an intelligent individual.
