1. How would you secure the rights of a nation and of individuals without the right to bear arms? Would you just hold signs up and ask for democracy? Would you voice your opinions on the internet hoping that somebody who has the power would listen?

2. Marriage is an vow between a man and a woman and marriage laws are their to protect families, which only a man and woman can create. If you feel strongly about allowing gays to marry, how would you feel about your own children if your marriage was called illegitimate and your children were declared by the state and adopted by gay parents?

3. If you were to start a small business and have it be successful, how would you feel about being penalized for your success?

4. The other day a pickup truck carrying 23 illegal immigrants into the state of Texas ran into a couple trees killing 14 people including small children. If you support illegal immigration, how do you feel about illegal immigrants who come into this country illegally of course that break additional laws resulting in the death of people and small children?

1. Most liberals are not against guns - they tend to be against high capacity assault rifles in the hands of redneck idiots. Or any other idiots for that matter

2. Why would children be taken from straight couples and given to gays? Is there any substance to this or are you just typing to see if your keys still work?

3. Not sure, I believe in a flat tax

4. Who said anyone supports illegal immigration? Everyone should have to pass citizenship tests. Especially those born in America who wish to vote in a general election

Now a question: Why are conservatives all for personal freedoms, yet they wish to interfere with who we can marry and what we can do with our own bodies?

1. How do we secure rights today? Gays are fighting for rights now and society is beginning to come around. When women and African Americans fought for rights they did it with protests and signs. None of the aforementioned groups used guns to secure their equal rights in society. Thats an asinine question.

2.This question does not make any sense. What does having your children taken away and having your marriage called illegitimate have to do with gay marriage?

3.If by penalized you mean pay the appropriate amount of money for my income bracket, I would gladly pay and look for ways to improve my business model and get profits even higher.

4. Hmmmm, I need more details about this question. The truck was carrying immigrants, but was the driver American? Because if so, the immigrants are in no way responsible for the accident.

Dear thehoneycomb,

I am not a liberal; but, I would still like to respond.

1. Gandhi showed us how to be successful at that. Peaceful noncompliance stops everything.
2. There is marriage recognized by God and there is a government contract that we call marriage. The government contract should be open to all consenting adults in order to give equal protection and equal rights under the government law. By the way, I am straight and a preacher and would not perform a gay marriage, I have the freedom to my choices also. As far as my kids go, I would expect them to be placed in a family similar to ours. Would you expect the children of a gay couple to go with gays or straights?
3. The more you benefit from the country, the more you should contribute. Pretty simple, we all pay for roads and infrastructure. A successful business is successful in this economy because it benefits from that infrastructure. If you have an internet business this is even more true as everyone's taxes went to pay for the creation of the internet. Just look up Arpnet.
4. Why do you assume liberals or anyone is in favor of illegal immigration and your example is very weak. A bus load of Christians takes a bus to Disneyland and gets in a crash and everyone dies. Do you still feel the same about people taking trips to Disneyland? I think we can address poor driving apart from being here illegally. We have laws and we should enforce them or change them. Having said that, if you were a dirt poor Mexican living in the landfill around Mexico city, would you try and come here?

My answers may differ than yours'; but, my Christianity comes before my politics.

What is the deal with you bigoted liberals? When has a "redneck" ever committed a mass murder? I'm sick and tired of this crap. Oh yeah 'n-word' is a racist slur but redneck isnt? To be completely factual here, white men from the south kill FAR fewer people than any minority with guns. And we have much more people with much more guns. I'm sick of this bigoted nonsense. I just don't understand where you get this perverted world view that rednecks like to shoot people. It simply doesn't happen, and I'm sick and #ing tired of you people using these slurs to downgrade my heritage. Why is this type of bigotry even tolerated on this forum? I know it wouldn't be in the media.

Ummm you self identified yourself as a idiot redneck so clearly you think you fit in with the stereotype. If you did not you would not be so mad. Work on your self esteem and you'll feel better. Not all people who live in the south are considered rednecks or consider themselves rednecks. Its one of those caricature things like how you just painted every minority as being dangerous with a gun.

I self identified SPECIFICALLY as a white man from the South. Read the post. Black people get mad when you call them 'n-word's, whether they fit the stereotype or not so your first and second sentences are debunked. Third & fourth sentences = I live here, I am obviously aware of this especially since I do not consider myself to be a redneck. How did I paint minorities as dangerous with guns? I stated a FACT. The guy I was replying to did not state any fact, he just called rednecks idiots and implied that they are dangerous with guns. You sir, are very obtuse.

I may be sorry for responding to this thread, but here goes.

I consider myself pretty darn liberal, and have no problem with people having guns. I would like to see more oversight in who's buying and how much.

But, let me ask you this, do you really think that politicians are kept honest, knowing that the population is armed? Are guns the way you would voice your political opinions and support for democracy?

2. Marriage is an vow between a man and a woman and marriage laws are their to protect families, which only a man and woman can create. If you feel strongly about allowing gays to marry, how would you feel about your own children if your marriage was called illegitimate and your children were declared by the state and adopted by gay parents?

Marriage is not only about children, it's about love and devotion. When 2 people are married, they are considered family, not because of children, but by law. Marriage allows for certain legal rights, including adoption. If my children were in danger, and were in state protection, I wouldn't care if the people taking care of my kids were gay.

Limiting marriage to a man and a women will not stop birth out of wedlock, spousal abuse or child abuse. The only thing it will protect is the definition of a family. And a name is only a name, a name isn't a relationship.

Are you opposed to gay teachers, nurses or doctors, or social workers and counselors in an public house setting? Do you aim to keep gays away from children altogether?

3. If you were to start a small business and have it be successful, how would you feel about being penalized for your success?

To those who receive much, much is expected.

Who is in favor of illegal immigration?

What if the accident was caused by a couple of teens who were ditching school and drinking?
