Not really. The states that are enacting the no gay marriage laws will be brought before the Supreme Court soon as a result. The Constitution clearly states and the legal precedent backs it up see this: Amendment X The powers not delegated to the states by the constitution nor prohibited it by the states are reserved to the states respectively or TO THE PEOPLE. That and the Bill of Rights tied to the IX Amendment is the basis since the country was founded of the Privacy Right. It is fundamentally founded in our extensive body of decided law.

I am not sure where this one goes. Democrats want what Democrats want same for the Republicans. Are you suggesting that Republicans don't track polls???Lets forget gay marriage and discuss the real issue here which is how the hell does these religous groups get by with dictating to their parishoners how they must vote/campaigning for Republican Political issues and using the press to launch their Republican agenda and still get a tax deferment on all of their property and their income as organisations. You want to talk about whats fair? Thats rediculous that they get away with that BS. How come Ann doesn't mention that?

Well, I haven't been to church in years so I can't say for sure. However the people can vote anyway they want. No one is dictating to them how they "must" vote or that they must campaign for anyone. So I would imagine that Ann didn't mention it because it doesn't happen. Explain to me how a leader of a church can force people to vote or campaign for a political party? BTW, when I did go to church I have never even heard politics mentioned. If you want to be mad about something how about unions spending union dues on political campaigns without the knowledge or the approval of it's members? This is something that Arnold just tried to have stopped in CA. Unfortunately for him and the union members it wasn't passed. Of course you realize the unions are spending this money on the Democrat campaigns. Do you disagree with this practice? Regarding religious institutions not having to pay taxes on property. This is for all religions. Not just the Christian religion. Jews generally vote for the Democrats. I don't see how this is unfair in anyway. That said I wouldn't be opposed to ending religious tax breaks. At least not with what I know of them. I must admit I am not familiar with the specifics. So I reserve the right to change my mind.

It does happen. Big time. And it stinks. And I'm sorry but she is redundent; superficial and boring. How come you guys never mention any of the really thoughtfull and intelligent conservative writers? Where's William F. Buckley?

Look in order to have a discussion you have to give some kind of facts. You can't just say something and not back it up. How can a church leader force it's church members to vote or campaign for a political party? Also what are you trying to say? If this did occur it's only happening with Republicans? You know African Americans are pretty religious and they vote almost exclusively for Democrats? Isn't it "Rev" Sharpton and "Rev" Jackson? Same with the Jewish people. I'm not sure what your compliant is. You may not like Ann Coulter but she is anything but boring. I find her intelligent and very funny at times. But to each his own. William Buckley is great (see link). He's still around. Both Ann Coulter and Buckley (as well as Rush and Hannity) are very good IMO. But I can understand why you wouldn't like them. I can't stand liberal commentators. I do listen to a few but mostly just for the laughs. I really can't stand their negativity. All they do is name call. Sure Rush makes up names for the Dems but it's funny (to me and obviously many other people. He was just given a 300 million dollar contract. The largest in history). Rush is trying to be funny by making fun of the Dems. Rush is never angry. Neither are the other conservatives mentioned here. But every liberal I have listened to is very angry and nasty. Of course you may view them differently. Notice how almost no liberal radio talk show host can make it? It's because they have no concept of facts. Just name call and bitch about Bush. Nobody wants to listen to negativity all day. How is Air America doing lately?
