You missed my point. Or maybe I just didn’t make it well enough.

Thanks for your comments

No, actually I would argue against polygamy.

Not sure if Obama or his advisors would do the same though.

Melissa — thanks for your comments. This man goes against the stereotype. He was supposed to be a stick in the mud reactionary (Dick Cheney) but instead, he recognized her his own family experience that there is no reason for us to discriminate against gays and lesbians. Let them marry!

Joe — I’ve truly enjoyed some of your commentary over the last several days. I think you brought up some thought-provoking questions and issues. On the other hand, I think you’re off base on this one. If you want to argue for polygamy, okay make the argument that there were legitimate reasons that a mother cannot marry her son. It is more than just social norms. There is actually medical literature to back up this social taboo.

If you’d like to say that the state has a right to restrict marriage, then yes I would agree. Therefore, the state has the right to unrestricted marriage between a man and a man and a woman and a woman. I think if your religion restricts marriage and don’t invite lesbians and homosexuals to your church service. Don’t marry them in your church. I can think of no valid reason why gays and lesbians should marry in the eyes of the state.

Thanks for your comments.

Thanks for posting this. It gave me goose bumps. God bless this man and his family. I want to hug him and thank him for his sacrifice.

Nonsense.

We restrict marriage in all kinds of ways.

A mother can’t marry her son, nor a father his daughter.

Siblings can’t marry.

Two men cant marry three women.

To say that marriage is a ‘civil right’ and cant be restricted is simply incorrect.

Every chicken-hawk right-winger from Limbaugh, Beck and Hannity down to the lowest Congressperson should be forced to respond to this.
