Warped concept of freedom. Liberalism obviously has eaten away at your ability to think rationally.

Whats freedom then? GOPers like yourself have constantly shown that they only support freedoms that line up with your judeo christian values. News flash, that isnt freedom.

fmc - why stop at consenting adult? What about marrying consenting adults?
What about the age of consent?
What about incest?
Why have those barriers to freedom?

Re: Why I Usually Vote Republican
Just wondering where the marriage madness will stop.
It is one little point, but is a small example of the search for "freedom".
So, answers?

You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. There is no freedom outside of Jesus Christ. Those Judeo-Christian values seem to work pretty good for the vast majority of our nations history.

The point is even you have lines that you would draw in the sand and say to cross would be unacceptable behavior. We are a nation of laws and in order to have freedom there must be limitations otherwise we have chaos and anarchy.

Right. I agree. But you cant equate two consenting adults getting married as anarchy.

Re: Why I Usually Vote Republican
Of course not. But the point is there will always be people who aren't satisfied with definitions of morality. In the end somebody's morality becomes the standard. Judeo-Christian values have proven to be a pretty good template.

ya, plus, you get drone-bombs 
it might be noted here that God divorced the Judeo's, and Christians are noted for not being much like Christ.
Anarchy is not Chaos, and i don't think it means what you guys think it means. What is 1Sam8, if not an Anarchist Manifesto. You are welcome to your morality, and i will even applaud you for it; but it cannot be legislated upon me.
