America…as much as I appreciate VP Cheney speaking up for the truth on our security issues…on this one…I totally disagree!

Men and women have specific plumbiing designed beautifully by our creator. Each of those plumbing features have ’specific’ purposes.

Marriage is between a man and a woman to procreate and continue the creation through the features of that plumbing.

Marriage bewtween a man and a man or a woman and a woman…perverts the purposes of those plumbing features.

Holy Christian scriptures tell us what happens to a nation that perverts the original purposes of a man and a woman…Sodom and Gomorrah!

God cannot look upon sin…His nature is Holy beyond measure…He cannot abide the sins of man.

He provides for forgiveness of sin…but He will never condone it!

Let’s be clear about what our vision is for America. The reason so many people today are giving in to these lifestyles is because they have thrown God out of their lives and don’t follow his teachings!

===========================

GOD BLESS AMERICA THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE…MAY OUR CHRISTIAN GOD COME AND HEAL OUR LAND AS WE ASK HIS FORGIVENESS FOR THROWING HIM OUT OF OUR COUNTRY, OUR HOMES AND OUR LIVES…THEN AND ONLY THEN WILL HE COME AND HEAL OUR LAND!

Does that include marriage?   June 2nd, 2009 - 2:45 pm

“Does that include marriage? June 2nd, 2009 – 2:45 pm

Wow! This will upset the Republican conservative loyalists!”

You would be surprised. Most agree with Dick. Its a states issue. Republicans used to be big on states rights.

Wow Eileen for freedom/liberty way to boil marriage all the way down to just sex. Really? Are you that shortsighted that you think marriage is just about boning eachother. Why would the gay community be fighting so hard for COMMITMENT if all they wanted to do all day was screw eachother. You are ridiculous, maybe you should go get your plumbing (in your head) checked.

The definition of a neocon is anyone who is loyal to Israel first and paints themselves as a conservative so the z ionists can cover both bases. Most are not conservatives at all.

SELF-SERVING, SICKENING JERKS   June 2nd, 2009 - 3:25 pm

These SELF-serving JERKS soon forget all about ETHICS & MORALS & VALUES whenever an issue becomes PERSONAL, don’t they?!?!?!?!?!?

OF COURSE Cheney is going to believe in “freedom” when his own daughter is a LESBIAN who has INDOCTRINATED HIM on the “GLORIES” of the so-called GAY life! What a bunch of HYPOCRITES nowadays in BOTH parties!!!

They have NO SOLID VALUES AT ALL; EVERY damned thing they do or think or say or BELIEVE is totally SELF-serving! How SICKENING!

P-C B-S AGAIN: SEPARATING SHEEP FROM GOATS   June 2nd, 2009 - 4:09 pm

WHAT IF all this hubbub about “gay marriage” and similar MORAL ISSUES confronting us today is God’s way of SEPARATING THE SHEEP FROM THE GOATS?! Maybe God is getting FED UP with people who “GO ALONG TO GET ALONG,” INSTEAD OF STANDING UP FOR TRUTH & LIVING ACCORDING TO HIS WORD?!

Imagine all the people across this globe who are trying to BE POLITICALLY CORRECT on this issue of “gay marriage,” but who deep down inside KNOW that it is WRONG and ABOMINABLE in the sight of God?! What a dilemma! Do you side with your “gay” friends & relatives or side with WHAT IS RIGHT.
Sooner or later, every one of those people will HAVE to choose. As the Bible says, “You cannot serve two masters”–you cannot serve POLITICAL CORRECTNESS *and* God’s TRUTH.

(Guess we know which one CHENEY serves!)

Marriage benefits were voted on by the representatives of the people. Had they known that marriage benefit money would be going to some perverted guy, capable of making his own money, because his gay partner died from AIDS is not what was intended when the laws were made. If marriage had no financial benefits attached to it then gays would not give a hoot about getting married. They want taxpayer money and the taxpayers don’t want to be forced to subsidize gay perverts. It should be a state issue, and benefits should not be changed after the fact. If gays want to be subsidized, those states should do it with new laws. All the pervert supporting states can tax themselves to death for all I care.

GAY AGENDA   June 2nd, 2009 - 5:02 pm

Can’t find a single STATE where the VOTERS have CHOSEN to support gay marriage. The five or so states where this ANOMALIE is now “legal” did so via STATE LEGISLATURE OR STATE COURT LEGISLATING FROM THE BENCH. The *PEOPLE* of USA do NOT want “gay marriage” to become the law of the land, and many states have amended their Constitution to make sure this nonsense does not happen in their state.

And kmichaels is right: THE ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES of permitting gay marriage are ASTRONOMICAL. People had better wake up to the REALITIES involved in this gay agenda.

i would have never taken cheney for a newage dad who doesn’t apparently understand “spare the rod, spoil the child”–that’s the rod of guidance, the shepherd’s rod, not the misrepresentation of the rod as an implement of beating. accepting and supporting your child’s perversity and spiritual error is not love, it’s weakness and selfish

re some previous comments: good points aren’t strengthened by excessive all-caps and multiple exclamation points and question marks, they are diminished by them.

duncan   June 2nd, 2009 - 5:36 pm

Dont go hunting with him.

Couldnt of said it better Trent

Larse   June 2nd, 2009 - 6:26 pm

Sorry Dick. It is way too late!! We are NOT going to let you escape over the the Democratic party!!!

Obiter Dicta   June 2nd, 2009 - 6:31 pm

Heidi

You’re right it’s not necessarily about sex, it’s largely about money, lots and lots of money in the form of medical benefits, disablility benefits, survivor benefits, pensions etc etc. Benefits paid for largely by employees and taxpayers raising children and contributing to society in the course of running their lives.

If you have a little twinkie spouse, well bingo, you have a little twinkie family to discuss with the welfare supervisor, with your “community organizer” and with your personnel manager(if you have one).

They spend an inordinate amount of time though, thinking about sex. For evidence just take a quick look at them in ceremonial “ensemble” while they’re having a “parade.”

One thing for sure about this movement, “gay” is a strange word to apply to it. These people can please their weenies and knishes at any time and any place. And they do.

What interesting article, but where took information?

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   June 2nd, 2009 - 9:38 pm

Dear dear Heidi…you whittled it down just right for “yourself”…I wouldn’t call the act between a man and woman in love and united in a marriage…”boning”…but I guess that is the perverted way you look at and that is part of the problem.

The gay community has again perverted yet another feature…friendships between same sex.

And I mean just that friendships. You have ruined the words…gay…queer…and now you have perverted same sex friendships.

Years ago girls used to hold hands as “friends”!

Years ago girls used to dance together…even slow dancing…but years ago they would have never been called gay…just friends…and that was all it was.

Now, if you did that today you would say they are “gay”!

The definition of the plumbing is not because that is the main thing about marriage…it is to denote to those of you who don’t know better that a man and a woman were made for a specific purpose by our creator.

You have turned my explanatory comments into something “off color”…but that is what the gay community always does.

Now…let me say this…I don’t hate gays. I know plenty of gay people…and the majority of those in the mainstream society are great, great people.

But they are still breaking the laws of our Christian God by having sex (or boning as you describe it) with each other.

It is perverted and it is “not” normal and the way that God intended.

So love each other as friends…and leave the sex to a man and a woman where it belongs.

You are trying to distort marriage between a man and a woman…the Holy Scriptures says that it is an abomination for a man to lie down with a man and for a woman likewise.

It also says…that there is coming a generation that will call “evil good and good evil”….I believe you prove that we are living in that time!

MisterP   June 2nd, 2009 - 9:41 pm

Dick Cheney IS and ALWAYS has been a Great American Patriot!

“Any union they wish” is not marriage and he knows it.Mr.Cheney chose his words carefully.

He knows what the vast majority of Americans feel about ‘gay marriage’.Its NOT to be.Civil unions ONLY for gays/lesbians.

Alex   June 2nd, 2009 - 9:41 pm

Are you kidding? Soon they’ll be allowing gays in the schools with the rest of our kids!

…oh wait.

O.K. that was a joke.:)

Whatwhatwhat   June 2nd, 2009 - 10:02 pm

Well. Well. Well. I guess Dick must have read my post about questioning whether his daughter should be allowed to marry her baby’s momma. Now we know the answer.

Bill Airs   June 3rd, 2009 - 9:43 am

I say throw him out of the party with the rest of the Republicans with any kind of moderate viewpoint.

Soon there will be more people out then in.

To archer   June 4th, 2009 - 4:54 am

For someone who cannot figure out HOW to use the CAP function on the keyboard, you have a lot of gall lecturing other people on HOW THEY CHOOSE TO EMPHASIZE certain portions of their text, and HOW THEY CHOOSE TO EMPHASIZE THEIR IDEAS WITH MULTIPLE EXCLAMATIONS AND QUESTION MARKS!!!???

To EACH his OWN.
