winsor 236 #2 February 2, 2011 Quotewww.nytimes.com/2011/02/01/us/politics/01bush.html Barbara Bush joins Meghan McCain and Mary Cheney. Good for her. It puzzles me why some people get all worked up over what other people may or may not do behind closed doors. I think it is more important that someone is an Alan Turing, a Pyotr Tchaikovsky or an Alexander the Great than is the matter of their sexual preference. We have enough real problems that it takes sheer stupidity to be distracted by such non-issues as who is or is not gay. Who cares? If someone runs for president who has a clear picture of and a viable game plan for how to finesse our options to achieve the best possible future for this country, I really don't care if that person is a Pygmy Lesbian - they have my vote.

billvon 3,108 #4 February 2, 2011 >Please show where Bush has ever stated a stand on homosexuality. ============== Bush calls for ban on same-sex marriages February 25, 2004 President Bush endorsed a constitutional amendment Tuesday that would restrict marriage to two people of the opposite sex but leave open the possibility that states could allow civil unions. "The union of a man and a woman is the most enduring human institution, honored and encouraged in all cultures and by every religious faith," Bush said. =============== President Bush to America: Homosexuality is sin Posted: July 31, 2003 By Stephen Bennett When asked his view yesterday on homosexuality during his first public press conference in months, President Bush responded, "I am mindful that we are all sinners . . ." I thank God for the loving, Christian witness of our president. What a powerful message of hope he sent yesterday to America, as well as a strong rebuke to the out-of-control "gay" juggernaut destroying this nation. Listen once again to the Christian message our president delivered: Homosexuality is sin, and before you deal with the homosexual's sin, deal with your own first. =================== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gravitymaster 0 #5 February 2, 2011 Q: Do you believe homosexuality is a choice? A: I don't know. I just don't know. I do know that we have a choice to make in America and that is to treat people with tolerance and respect and dignity. It's important that we do that. I also know in a free society people, consenting adults can live the way they want to live. And that's to be honored.

tkhayes 348 #8 February 2, 2011 Marriage is a flimsy institution that should not be legislated with definitions, much less Christian-based rules Given the number of marriages that end in divorce, it is a bit of a joke anyway, but we, as a society, cling to it. Given that people typically pair up throughout their lifetimes, homosexual or otherwise, and that we have daily social decisions that depend on taking care of one another - i.e. pensions, working, savings, wills and estates, health care and end-of-life decisions, I think that should be about the extent of any 'definition' in the legislature at any level. Anyone (adult) should be able to define anyone else as their 'partner' It is a free country (I thought) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RonD1120 62 #14 February 2, 2011 Quote "Marriage is between a man and a woman"...you know you're one of them! It just breaks my heart to know that some who live within our borders and enjoy our way of life desire to destroy everything that America stands for because they think they are smarter than our founders, pioneers and patriots. When I became a sport parachutist the group was dominated by proud, spirited Americans. Now it seems that many are simply self-centered wussies. They are rebellious and think the government owes them everything they desire.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
