Heterosexual people have no right to get married? What? Explain that to me, cuz' you're not making any sense. You are aware that a marriage certificate is considered a legal document, right?
"(T)ake away abortion rights"; This particular "right" was awarded by an unelected group of 9 individuals that some could argue were a revisionist court waiting to happen. The "right" to murder a helpless human fetus is hardly an inalienable one...regardless of where that being is currently residing.

It's more about the right of a women to control what happens to her own body. That's an individual freedom, and to take it away violates the rights of the individual.
"If you listen to just one of Reagan's religionists, you can forget the word philosophy. A man who claims to defend rights, and objects to the right to have an abortion, who wants to dictate to a woman in the most intimate, cruicial and tragic issue of that kind, and he wants to forbid it? That's no defender of rights, and no defender of capitalism." ~ Ayn Rand -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4196WvmEc...
I am in agreement that LGBT rights do not exist in the sense of our Constitution...but the ugly issue has taken on an undeserved portion of the national debate, and attention. The issue has taken away from the more critical issues that face The Republic. We are about to lose sight of the forest for the LGBT trees....
I am willing to take this out of the Federal level debate, and let the 50 states address it. After all, we can always pull a Reardon and change states! And, of course, each state can change their mind after the fact. So far the majority of states are not going for this aberration. Try to do this on a Federal level!
There are bigger fish to fry, and we have to take the matches away from the pyromaniacs that rule the Washington barbecue pit.
Well now you're just ignoring the reality of our laws. Our current laws do, in fact, grant more legal rights to heterosexual couples than they do to homosexual ones. I agree with you that everyone should have the same rights, but the simple fact of the matter is that our current laws do not grant rights to everyone equally. Pretending they do is ignoring reality.
You get an "A" for your wonderful critique. Well said, very accurate and 'on the money'. :P You kept it professional and didn't have to resort to personal digs~ I ALWAYS encounter such nonsense in other little know sites that have a comments section.
I'd buy you a beer if I could. Thanks and well done.
To the writers of the blog: Money is not the root of all evil, but the root of all good. Money requires people deal with each other based on mutual advantage not force. The absences of money in transactions always results in the most evil atrocities. Money was not important to Hitler, Moa, or Stalin and it resulted in the death of over 100 million people.
Your second hidden premise is that “hoarding resources” is evil. This is also nonsense. Didn’t you ever read the story of the hare and the squirrel? So called natural resources are not “natural” they are the result of human ingenuity. In the last two hundred or so years we have gone from almost 100% of the world living on the edge of starvation, to the point where less than 50% of the world’s population has to fear starvation despite an incredible increase in the number of people here on earth. You have bought into the environmentalist BS that human’s are evil and destroy resources. Environmentalists do not understand conservation of matter and energy and they do not understand entropy. We never suffer from a lack of resources, but a lack of ingenuity and productiveness. For instance, people in Colorado say they have to conserve water because there is a lack of it right now. But the amount of water on earth is exactly what it was 10 years ago, 200 years ago, a million and a billion years ago. What we have is a lack of infrastructure. They have failed to invest in systems to get the water where it is needed and this has always been a problem that humans faced.
The evil in the world now is based not on money and “greed”, but on altruism and environmental religion.

"(D)estroy freedom of religion"; You are making the liberal mistake of substituting 'freedom FROM religion' for the original thought...to make sure that there was never a government imposed State religion. It was never intended to ban any religious thought from our secular, or institutional, lives. Read the Founding Fathers tracts, and the declarations that they painstakingly composed...God is never far from sight.
"(R)efusal to grant LGBT rights"; Way beyond anything that the Founders would have ever considered. I am OK with giving the States their inherent rights to decide this by public ballot. Let the chips fall where they may.
"(A)ttempts to control the kinds of substances"; I give you this one, on a Federal level. Let the States make this their decision.
"(E)limiating the right of individuals to live where they want"; The Republic has a clearly defined border, and the Federal government is mandated to protect that border. No wiggle room here, unless you are of the One World Government ilk. But that puts you in opposition with almost all of America, and certainly in opposition with the rest of the world. Not much company there...and rightly so.
You are on the wrong side of history, but you will surely find some companionship somewhere on the internet. Even child molesters find solace there with a little searching.
This is so incredibly inane it's hard to believe it's serious. I'm not sure this organization isn't looking for people to use money to buy credits. I won't waste anymore time looking at the sight to find that out. As far as evil drug dealers in it for the money. Well yeah. But they couldn't make the money if they didn't have the willing customers who started using of their own free will. I'm not sure whoever wrote this isn't a regular customer. Prostitution has been around for ever and won't be going away until Anthem is in full effect. Rape has probably been going on longer than prostitution, probably while we were still swinging from tree branches.
I get information from a wide variety of sources. I just wasn't aware that The Daily Currant was a parody site. I'll have to make sure not to take them seriously from now on. ;)

I suggest you check your premises.

And...Poe is NOT your absolution.
Still, Ann Coulter has said some pretty stupid stuff before, even if this particular example was fake.
