Ma'am;...How friendly? Thanks....Sweeney

Ma'am;... If I may hazzard a guess, I would say that having a black candidate for president is plenty in the face of the so called conservatives. Gay support even if it is minimal is plenty enough to harder to for the religious right to chew on. I would support all rights. I would say it is not a right if it hurts some one. But the fundamental question of rights is not one that can be handled with an election of an individual to any office. If one candidate is elected supporting rights the next one on the spot might well attack rights. We need a nation wide agreement on the nature and natural limits to rights. No one wants to abandon rights cpmpletely. Clearly, some feel that rights can be abrogated with a majority vote. I think, before the individual can be deprived of rights that there must be universal acceptance that the right is destructive to society. If a simple majority could end rights we would all be in trouble, and perhaps this is the reason we are in trouble and know it, because no right is secure for a people in desparate straits. In the sense that a right is a property, and property is a right, every right can become a property for sale if it will keep life in ones body. That is why we should control the economy, because when the economy is used to reduce people to desparation they will sell your rights with their own. We cannot let that happen. We need to control events. We need to control business. We have to govern corporations or be governed by them. And the churches too, because if they do not accept rights but demand rights, they are traitors to the cause of liberty...Just as with morality, there is no half way liberty. We either have it or we do not...Thanks...Sweeney

Re: James A, Sweeney. Sweeney, if you ran for president, I would vote for you. You have what I want in a president. Deb, I love your colums. They have a lot of facts and not biased like the other opinion colums. Plus, the colums send a message that LBGT community is just like everyone esle and that they acomplish great things.

Anyone wonder why the Messiah won't stand for gay marriage, nor Biden? Oh yea, he's gutsy in his gay stand. He's a POLITICIAN.
