Re: Finally! Some common sense from our courts.
JB,
I know of your daughter and I have said on numerous occasions that I hope for her happiness etc. I mean my wishes for her sincerely and I hold no animosity towards her or other decent human beings (again, I use decent to describe how people treat one another, not to define anyones lifestyle). I also mentioned that medical care decisions should be legally recognized for same sex couples.
Bob,
I never said that you could tell who or how people were being raised. I also never said that same sex couples could not make great parents. What I said was that a home comprised of a loving mother and a loving father is the ideal and should be recognised as such.
One of the core differences between liberals and conservatives IMHO is the denial by liberals of anything better, best, superior, right or wrong. Most conservatives believe in standards, of a definition of right and wrong and that it is OK (in fact required) to note what is "best" or "better" or even superior.
Some liberals believe that there is no difference between Israel defending themselves and desperate Palestinians blowing themselves up in a crowded marketplace. I know I am speaking of apples and oranges, but the concept is the same. Some things are the ideal. Blurring that line is dangerous for our Children's futures regardless of the topic. For those that want to infer that I fear gays, or want to equate a same sex relationship to Palestinian terror, please reread my comments. I simply believe that the slope is one that leads to no right, no wrong, no better, no worse, no ideals, no principles, no shape, no up, no down. This IMHO is what "liberals" believe in, and is exactly what Lennon's "Imagine" is about which many hold as their mantra. I see it as extremely dangerous.
