Gay marriage was never legal in the first place - not to mention marriage is nothing more than contract law - hence any individual could engage in a contract with another individual. The whole marriage thing is nothing more than symbolic.
What is wrong with keeping ones sexuality to ones self? Besides, I really don't see how sexuality plays a role in any job - including military service.
In what universe are illegal aliens entitled to just jump ahead of the line and come here when there are plenty of immigrants who do it the legal way? I'm sure you would be pissed at me if I just cut in front of you in a line.
Anyone who cant get an ID is too stupid to vote, besides, the whole purpose of the law is to cut down on voter fraud - not to mention getting an ID is not that difficult to obtain. Besides you only need an ID to cash a paycheck, get a job, drive a car, buy a home, rent a home, get food stamps, get welfare, buy tobacco, buy booze - or pretty much anything an adult does... I'm getting sick of the notion that ID's to vote are unreasonable. Oh and the best part is that here in Illinois when you got TO GET YOUR ID is when they ask you if you want to register to vote.... With that said I have absolutely no idea as to how someone cannot have an ID but be registered to vote?
Gay marriage was never legal in the first place? So what? Slavery was legal. It was never legal for blacks or women to vote in the first place. Does that mean that it was a mistake to change the law?
Children who were brought here by their parents didn't jump in line ahead of anyone. They were brought here by their parents. Giving them some legal status doesn't make the line longer for anyone else.
Whether or not someone CAN get an ID is irrelevant. There is no rational basis for requiring ID to vote when there is no demonstrated problem of voter impersonation. We should make it easier for people to participate in the electoral process -- not throw up additional road blocks.
These are just a few examples. Republicans consistently oppose liberal rights while Democrats consistently fight for them.
