Convince them to have equal rights for everyone. No matter their race or gender. I think that would help quite a bit with history.

I don't know. Both act completely out of bonds to me. You have Republicans do everything they can stay rich and keep poor people poor, and you have the Democrats who keep trying to abolish personal Wealth. Neither side can agree on anything with the other. They never compromise on any issue.

There will be one called John F. Kennedy. When his time comes, hire better security.
What about Abraham Lincoln, you know the person 'tied' with George Washington for best President and the first president assassinated?

JFK was so much better than Lincoln.
Just leave, the man freed the slaves and saved the union

The actual Marriage itself is yes, a Federal issue. I should have been more clear. The process of getting Married however is a State issue. You need a marriage license to get married. The Federal Government does not care who gets married, just like they don't care who get's to legally drive. So that issue is brought up to the States to deal with.

Just a point of curiosity, aren't there federal benefits from being married? Meaning the people that want same-sex marriages recognized at the federal level are only trying to get equal benefits?

You could say: give the 16th President - Abraham Lincoln better security and the 35th President - John Kennedy. Remember, you can say two things.

1. Tell them to use caps and exclamation marks near the part where government is separated from religion. People seem to miss that nowadays...

2. Tell them about about Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq... and make them to write an amendment on not invading other countries.(not that they those have any meaning anymore..)


People miss it because that specific clause was never in the constitution.

Okay. I do only have one more question then. Does the Defence of Marriage Act prohibit same-sex couples from receiving federal benefits regardless of what their state's laws are?

Yeah, like recommending the Secret Service manly protect the president for the get-go.

....Sort of. Yes and No. Let me give you an example on where it's flawed and where it's good:

Tim and Bob get married in....Americavania. Americavania has Same-Sex marriage legalized and full benefits to any marriage in their borders. So Tim and Bob move to....Bigotbama. Bigotbama does not have Same-Sex marriage legalized. The Defense of Marriage Act lets Tim and Bob stay a married couple in Bigotbams, but all the benefits they got from Americavania will not go with them as long as Bigotbama decides not to give those benefits to them.

1. Abolish political parties. They'll do nothing but cause trouble and slow down the entire system.

2. Everyone is a human. The blacks, the whites, the Asians, the Latin races, the Native Americans, the Jews, the Muslims, the ga­ys, the strai­ghts, the men and the women. They are all humans, and as such they all deserve the same rights and constitutional protection as the other.

That liberals have taken over the country and that they should let the south have its independence.
The south is slowing the rest of us down anyway.

You're an idiot. Cut off the south and cut off most of your food supply and some of your presidents. Not to mention we have very good business down here.

Oh my god lol.

Well yeah, that would go against the free exercise clause. However, the establishment clause also means that the government can not endorse, or promote any one religion over others.

The idea that the first amendment was designed to create a wall of separation between church and state comes from a letter from Thomas Jefferson stating that that's what it means.

It should also be noted that freedom of religion also includes freedom from religion.
