Before WE make any decision(s) regarding Gay Marriage we need first to
decide if Marriage is a Religious Bond acknowledged by ceremony OR a Legal
Commitment bound by Contract. Let’s review; (1) the US Government provides
tax breaks for married people, (2) a Marriage License is required to get/be
married, (3) the “ObamaCare” insurance plan offers cheaper rates than
those offered to unmarried people, (4) the US Military provides a plethora
of benefits not available to unmarried people, Mmmm, I guess we’ve already
made that choice! So, why are we having this conversation,.. again? Are
we trying to see how much more of our tax dollars we can waste rather than
than using the money and time to… I don’t know, fix our fucking economy?
Why does anyone give a two shits and a damn if I wanna marry my
“boyfriend”? Everyone really needs to keep their noses out of other
people’s business. I know, I know… Christians get whipped into a froth
if they think anyone is doing something that I’m sure most of them would do
if they weren’t so, “godly!” Hypocrites!
He’s just jealous I get more pussy then he does. That’s why he doesn’t want
me to marry a woman.
That sounds like someone trying to defend Black Crowe laws. “It is a
balance of rights. Blacks should not be slaves, but they also should be
kept separated from whites, and constantly reminded of their inferior
status.”
Walker is a moron a simpleton and typical POS GOP
Scott Walker really is a totally clueless idiot.
The only problem I have with Gay Marriage is when I’m not invited, and
that’s probably it. I’d bring great cakes man. And schnitzel. Can’t go
wrong with Schnitzel
Wow, having anti-discrimination laws while at the same time discriminating
the very same people by denying them the same rights as others is a fair
balance…?
Buffering… buffering… buffering…
Due to lack of logic this program is shutting down.
fuck david pacman
“Healthy balance”?? He’s using the same definition of balance used by FOX
in their old slogan, “Fair and Balanced”.
When you attempt to disguise your intentions with such language, it
indicates you know you’re being dishonest.
Not being able to visit your loved one in the hospital with spousal
visitation rights and losing custody of your children after the death of a
loved one because the law doesn’t see you as married = ‘healthy balance.’
Go fuck yourself, Walker.
Apparently Mr Walker missed that episode of Star Trek: the Next Generation
“The Measure of a Man”. Savagely curtailing the rights of others while
expanding the rights of some is not justice.
I’m having a hard time fining a godwin argument.
was he standing on his head when he came up with this idea
And I suppose slavery was part of a ‘healthy balance’ of black rights too,
right?
I think all what Scott Walker thinks about is how he can deep through a big
azz man lolipop. That’s why he does want them to marry and commit to one
another so he can get some buff man hole to chow down on and eat out…
YUMMMEEEE!!! Since we are at it can we ban let see hum ugly people from
marring too in the name of keeping America beautiful?, Can we also ban Fat
people from getting married too? lets say keep it under 175 lbs, hum what
else can we ban lets see…
This is nothing pandering to the stupid, old fundie christian bigots that
make America a social embarrasment to the rest of the 1st world nations.
I’ll suggest that he enjoys the balance of having a wife and a secret
boyfriend. I have no evidence, however. I also loathe the idea that a guy
would stoop so low as to get that close to him. He can go balance himself
on a tight rope between two tall buildings in different cities as far as
I’m concerned.
He looks like the boy scout from the movie ‘Up”.
There is nothing wrong with Gay Marriage.
So according to this guys logic, we should ban Heterosexual marriage in an
equal portion of states, I mean we want a healthy balance of Heterosexual
couples.. Right?
Yes, and a ban blacks from white lunch counters was a healthy balance to
black civil rights, a ban on women voting was a healthy balance to women’s
civil rights, and a ban on atheists from holding public office positions is
a healthy balance of separation of church and state. Just more shit from
the willfully ignorant.
Of course, balance and constitution where convenient. He doesn’t believe in
balance on gun rights. He’s up there with the Cruz, Bachman gang whose
agenda is to bring us backward 100 years. These scumbags have no place in
modern politics. The right screams constitution then has no regard to
liberty and justice for all. A world of white Catholic based straight
people are their goal. Sounds like a certain well known German from the
1930’s and 40’s!
Well we all have to admit … Republicans are THE definition od EVIL.
How can Scott walker claim he’s not at least bisexual? I know for a fact he
sucks a lot of cock. Daily, he’s sucking off the Koch brothers, Exxon ceos,
etc… He sucks a lot of cock for a straight man.
Sure….. It’s a “healthy balance”, unless it’s your rights that are in
that “balance”.
I’m not entirely sure David understand what rights are. They’re just
opinions backed up by guns. That’s all.
I misspoke below: The role of government is not to “insure and protect the
inalienable rights of citizens”, the role of government is to SECURE and
protect the inalienable rights of citizen. The source is more from the
Declaration of Independence and less from the US Constitution, although the
concept is implied in the Preamble of the Constitution.
Scott Walker is not the problem; the people who voted him into office are!
Well, obviously if gay people had the same rights as everybody else then
they would have more rights than anybody else – perfectly logical GOP line
of reasoning.
I think his comment actually gives insight into his thinking.
When he speaks of balance, he’s not talking about rights at all. What he’s
referring to is the balance between interest groups. Gays get some of what
they want, anti-discrimination laws, and xians get some of what they want,
no SSM. That’s the balance he’s referring to.
And it indicates that his perspective on issues is not about what’s legal,
or right, or justified, it’s about what position will make the most
lobbying groups happy.
No one in the state likes this guy. He completely fucked over a good
portion of the population and at the same time his wife spent close to a
million dollars to renovate the governors mansions kitchen. Once hes done
with his term he is going to be chased out of Wisconsin.
What happened to the good old days when marriage was solely for procreation
and wives were property?
Scott Walker does think mostly about big business, but as to re-election? I
think it’s getting pretty clear that he wants to run for President on his
record. In his world, this makes sense. In the real world, where Democratic
Minnesota is kicking our economic asses and we are near the bottom with
jobs (he promised 250,000 new jobs in four years–with one year left to go,
he’s around 90,000, and is changing the subject), the idea that he wants to
do for America what he did for Wisconsin is terrifying. As a life-long
Badger, I have to say that this Republican governor and legislature is not
what I know and love about my state.
Scott Walker should be nowhere near public office. Denying others equal
protection under the law for religious reasons/hate makes him a soulless
hateful pile of shit…
“Focus on the economic issues, no emphasis on social issues” <- the republican mantra... Because it isn't possible to do a little of both? Nope! Scare everyone that the economy is crashing and that only the patriotic exceptionalist mongoloid flag-wavers on the far right extreme can rescue the country from imminent embarrassment, probably by dubious means and by throwing you, the voter, under the bus. No time on their busy schedule to address this obvious discrimination, and the more of you that think "hey, the economy is more important, it affects me" the longer they can enjoy their status-quo.
He is right! Just like when he implemented the Right to Work laws simply to
“protect” unions!! STFU Walker. God, I can’t stand these sellout ass
holes!!
Well, he is right to some degree. whether or not it is balanced, it is ‘A’
balance. It happens to be a balance where one scale is only a hair’s width
off the ground, but that’s just the balance Scott wants.
It’s wrong for sure. But to Scott, that is what balance is.
Why can’t this “walker” just take a walk off some high building & save us
all the grief of listening to his crap.
For someone who was basically black balled from Marquette U. and could not
pass basic college courses and who Marquette will never invited back as
governor, I find it difficult to even listen to this bimbo fool!
Funny how they forget to talk about first or second amendment rights when
they are saying limiting rights in any way is the same as slavery.
