    Class, let's open our Big Book of Fascist Definitions and turn to page 12.

    They'll do like they did with abortion. 1) Pass a law making marriage only for one male/one female. 2) Fake same sex couple applies for marriage license, is denied. 3) Fake same sex couple files lawsuit challenging state law. 4) Challenge runs up the court food chain till it hits SCOTUS. Or, like they did with the phony praying football coach, they'll take it straight to SCOTUS and not bother with the lower courts.

    People are either for liberty, or against liberty. It's not a selective thing.
    Some are for the liberty of the states to determine issues such as marriage and abortion. That does not mean they are against abortion or gay marriage.

    This bullshit wouldn't be necessary if people would accept and enforce the full faith and credit clause of the constitution
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

Because of hate filled people like PMP.
    sad that all you have for those who do not share your agenda is hatred.....meanwhile, its great gays can pretend they actually have a real marriage.....doesn't mean a lot to those who understand the truth....

    Yes, it was trumps debt. He did in four years what took Obama 8 years. A big chunk of that debt was the tax cut for wealth corporations and their stock holders.
