She will soon be cashing in on the conservative speaking circuit. Same reason Palin resigned so quickly in Alaska.

And that's when Seacrest will retract any negativity towards those saying she is just out for money right?

Won't I need to say something negative about it first?

Then you would know that what Reader said regarding a citizen bringing their religious values and beliefs into the public square is contrary to what you say you have taught.

So, which is it?

A few things...

I don't think this goofy broad is really sporting "conservative" views. I'm a conservative and I can't disagree with her more than I already do. None of my conservative buddies thinks this is the way to be. This is hard core way over yonder conservativism. Not real conservatives. Or republicans or whatever you want to call them.

Once again bigotry is encouraged by religion. Again, I love me some god but gottamn if I don't find myself disgusted by the people who supposedly spread his word.

My cousin "found" Jesus about a year ago and she has been spouting this bigoted crap for months since the SC decision. Her and her little ministry friends have been deciding who will burn and who will not for months now. Course, she's got a child she conceived out of wedlock and that's cool but god forbid a woman wants to marry her girlfriend.

This is not necessarily a religious wedding. More to the point it is a civil union. It has nothing in the world to do with your religious beliefs. It's about gaining legal rights with your partner of choice. It's about their love for each other. Stop letting your own ideas of marriage involving god cloud your judgement of how others perceive their relationship with their partner and/or god.

I am so sick of people justifying their bigotry thru the Riz and God himself. I can't imagine that he would find that amusing when the final chapter is written. Some day these bigots will have to stand before the man and explain why they thought it was THEIR place to pass his judgement.

I agree with you, sort of. There are certainly a large number of conservatives who don't feel like this. But I would also argue that the meaning of "liberal" and "conservative" is constantly changing. Sure, there are set definitions of Classic Liberals or Republicans from certain time periods, but there really is no set definition. I think it's important for conservatives with a voice to speak out against this type of stuff so that the party or the ideology isn't representated by people like Mike Huckabee. Same goes with religion... other religious people need to speak out against this to maintain respect for those who aren't insane.

But, generally, I agree - Conservative is not synonymous with religious nut job, at least not in my mind... but that doesn't mean it never could be.

It is a public sector job. Religious beliefs should have no place in violating policies set forth by the government.If you don't lie the laws that have changed quit. The only way her argument might be valid is if she was being forced to make the church/churches that let her get married 4 times marry the gay couple.

If a Catholic were to deny a marriage license to a gay couple you would also have to be ready to deny a marriage license to someone who was divorced, but did not obtain an annulment. If we actually took the time to discuss this in class I would then have to field questions from the half of class with divorced or single parents. Which would then lead to at least one email from a pissed off parent telling me to mind my fucking business.

Which is why we focus on personal responsibility, treatment of others and service in the community.

Seacrest,
Does gay marriage being legal in the United States violate your rights in any way?

love me some Seacrest and admire he's juggling 10 atheists at once, but not sure this dope is worth even that minimal effort.
