I doubt a businessman who closes Sundays, despite the loss in profits, wrong or right has a wee bit more dediction to his principals than a politician anyday!
Emaneul had to have known it is Un-constitutional to not allow stores because they are religious based. He was an idiot to have stated that... and the majority of liberals i have talked to do not support Emaneuls position at all.

Mike Huckabee, is more dangerous, IMO, than Rahm. This Far Right Religious platform of pushing InEquality is very very dangerous, and really really sad.

Don't support gay marriage? Well I have news for you, you will not be forced to become gay. Your life wont change one bit. Yet I am forced to tolerate the hatred towards gays and lesbians by not having equal rights.

Emanuel doesn't believe in the constitution and neither does Obama. Huckabee is a Howard Stern of conservatism and likely has visted a glory hole or two in his lifetime.

Which brings me back to an effective protest/statement gays can make by filming and identifying those hypocrites who say they are against gay marriage but visit an adult book store sticking their thing thru a hole.

That was such an insult towards Howard Stern!

I have a much better idea. Why don't all 50 states and the Federal Government just include same-sex couples in their "definition" of marriage... and all of this bickering can stop and people can move on with their lives, with equal rights and hopefully happiness.

I agree and would go further and take all of government (State and Fed) out of marriage including the tax code. It's discriminatory towards singles and ugly people who have a hard time finding a mate.

I am 100% fine with the government getting out of the marriage business.

You name a business, ANY business and I'm fine with it.

Would most same-sex couples be satisfied with civil unions creating the same rights and obligations that are found in traditional marriages and that are recognized in all states? It would be a marriage, short the name. I know that some argue that it won't be truly equal rights for same-sex couples until they can marry, but what difference does it really make if the same-sex coupling is called a civil union instead of a marriage, at least in legal terms. I sometimes wonder if the battle over same-sex marriages is as much about acceptance as it is about equal rights.

You would know better than me, obviously. But the guy I know affiliated with 2 of them here in Roanoke is listed as the "Owner/Operator"? Difference?

Personally, I think the gov should throw the "marriage" out. If you want to be legally committed, like you said, same rights and obligations, through the government, then call it a civil union. If marriage is a religious term.. let it up to religious people who want that word to go have their church ceramony. Why do agnostic or athiests have to use the religous term "marriage"?

It would be the most simple and fair solution. Which means it's guaranteed to not happen!


I was hungry for chick fi a yesterday, and stopped on the way back from visiting my little buddy in the Pediatric ICU in Gainseville. Right before I got up to the drive thru window, a hose blew in my car and antifreeze spilled everywhere, steam pouring from the hood. I couldnt wait to pick up the spicy chicken sammich, so I pulled around to the parking lot and shut my car off. While a friend helped me fix the car, the owner of the G-ville Chick Fil - A was pretty awesome, gave me a free meal and made sure everything was alright with my car. It was pretty cool, he seems to be a great guy.

Nice story..Hope your buddy is doing well..

Had a similar thing happen couple years ago on way to Durham, the intake manifold blew fortunately near an exit and McDonalds..Pulled into their lot with steam and water flying everywhere...the mgr called the cops and said a terrorist tried to blow up his joint.....
Actually a Good Samaritan came along and lead me to a local garage and left the car and was fixed next day...still have the guys name and number..
