I do not doubt the honesty of my own links, I meant YOU were condemning ME for doubting the honesty of MY links. And since you're trying to entrap me and/or pick a fight, I'm going to ignore you from now on. Moving right along....

Here's something interesting: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/...et-yelp_n_4759713.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular

There's a lesson to learn here, for sure. If you want to express views like this, it's your Constitutional right.

However, doing it on live TV when you own a restaurant and its address is in the Oklahoma public phone directory isn't really a good idea.

Fixed that for you. I wasn't condemning you for doubting, I was wanting you to provide proof that the links were dishonest. Which you never did.

I wasn't aware that providing a countering link was entrapment or trying to pick a fight. Go ahead and ignore when you can't refute.

Interesting how being anti-gay was apparently more important than the anti-disabled or racist parts. I wonder how much traffic this guy got before the article compared to afterwards.

And you're saying your report that CAIR has links to terrorism is reliable? Does this guy agree? He works for the same group that made that report:

Godwin's Law applies to internet arguments.

It was broadcast on the internet with his approval. That's why it's "gone viral", so to speak.

And if you insist on technical terms, I'll refer to it as the Association Fallacy, or "Hitler Ate Sugar", which is even worse.

Right, to size them up:

The President: Harvard educated, happily married, with two beautiful daughters

Limbaugh: Dropout, now on divorced three times and on his fourth wife, no children.

Who seems more trustworthy on the subject of relationships?

Edit: The dominoes continue to fall:

So, just how much are the taxpayers paying for the GOP to fund each attempt to defend these bans? So far, they have yet to win even once before a federal judge.

When it IS struck down, every member of the Kansas House who voted for it is going to have to explain why they supported discrimination.

It's NOT going to be the Republican Party's finest hour, I promise you that.

They already give out this reason.

"Discrimination is horrible. It’s hurtful … It has no place in civilized society, and that’s precisely why we’re moving this bill," Macheers said. "There have been times throughout history where people have been persecuted for their religious beliefs because they were unpopular. This bill provides a shield of protection for that."

Um, what about the Buddhist student at a Louisiana public school who got his religion called BS by a Christian teacher trying to teach Creationism in a public school? This is an example of Christians like these people monopolizing religious freedom to get away with bull like this even if it goes against the Constitution. I mean for God's sake, religion is a choice not homosexuality! I was raised Catholic and I CHOSE to stay Catholic.

Also, have you seen this Texas Sports Anchor Dale Hansen's comments in response to Michael Sam's anti-gay critics? It's amazing.

Yea, they are claiming they will prevent discrimination by introducing a bill that legalizes it. Complete hypocrisy.

Anyway... You see this?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/13/ted-cruz-gay-marriage-bill_n_4780699.html

Cruz has proposed an anti-gay marriage bill that, so far, has only one co-sponsor. It has absolutely no chance of even coming up for a vote in the Senate, much less signed by the President.

Seems he has forfeited the one thing he has remaining: his pride.

...So no matter how much they deny it, there IS a tolerance in bigotry within the party as the GOProud founder says. So Republicans, I thought you love the Constitution which pretty much contradicts that.

The LGBT Discrimination bill by the Kansas House GOP is so extreme even the Kansas Senate Majority Leader and the Episcopal Bishops are against it. With the latter saying it DOESN'T protect religious freedom AT ALL!

Apparently Republicans like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee don't get the memo. The former's heart weeps for traditional marriage being damaged even though there are more divorce rates in Conservative states and areas. Wait, he has a heart?

Will wonders never cease? Seems there may yet be hope for the more lucid members of the Republican Party. (Of course, this is the party that Lincoln is credited with founding, even though he'd barely recognize it if he were alive today.)

Edit: Maldred, Niger is a third world country with an economy in the pits.

Now compare that to countries like Denmark, Sweden, and Belgium. They have some of the best universities in the world, the crime rate is low, the economy is good, they have universal health care coverage for citizens, and gay marriage is legal.
