I don't understand this about conservatives and gay marriage

You're a liberal?

That must mean you want equal rights for everyone, including those weirdos that want to **** their dogs.

Also, all Christians are extremists, because WBC is comprised of Christians.

ITT: People generalizing because they dont understand that not all conservatives disapprove of Gay marriage.

Both republicans and democrats have huge double-standards in their policies.

Republicans are all for limited, local government until you get into issues like marriage or abortion.

Democrat 'progressives' are all for individual freedom unless it interferes with their government mandate.

I already posted in this thread why social conservatism is terrible. Please read the thread before posting.

No shit you moron

hence why I was talking specifically about SOCIAL Conservatives. At least learn to read before coming in with your typical contrarian mouth breather act

I wonder how Americans would feel about having more than 2 parties in congress, all with more or less the same shot at winning the elections.

I'm all for at least one more party. I voted Libertarian straight down the ballot last election (they are the closest thing we have to classical liberals these days).

Don't most of them disapprove of it though?

You really want to go there?

You on Portugese people a few days ago "Portugal- They're not as lazy as the Spanish, but they're just as racist. Also, their country smells like urine."

don't complain about generalizations. fvcking hypocrites

Jokes are supposed to be funny...

Uh huh. A "joke".

you still didn't explain how my previous statements are wrong, especially the bit about social conservatism never doing anything positive for mankind. What has it done?

High-end graphic cards ARE sexy.

What's the difference between a conservative and a social conservative

Social conservatives are only conservative on social issues, and conservatives on social and fiscal issues.

There is nothing to understand. We are talking about social conservatives here. Their very nature is a paradox.

That term again that only you and other pseudo intellectuals on GS use.

I think we got off topic, I was just pointing out the paradox where they hold marriage up so high and say homosexuals getting married will ruin it, or that it's against their religion, but then they get divorced more often than liberals, knowing that divorce is a sin.

Yes gerg, social conservatives are stupid.

@thegerg: what is your point man

Social conservatives being stupid is the rule, stupid social liberals are the exception.

I guess the point is in order to hold social conservative views you have either be stupid or evil.

I actually have 2 sons of my own, but they're both way too young to even know what they're into. I know that a lot of people have trouble acknowledging the fact that some people are gay and can't help it, but that's just a fact of life. While I'd be disappointed in not having grandkids, I'd be supportive of whoever makes him happy.

Errybody dumb.

@thegerg: Because the parties that apperantly seem to be supporting this individual liberties seem so keen on constricting them

I just don't see all the hubbub over lovin' people with the same danglydoos.

Soooo, what exactly do you mean by "social conservative?"

Give as much detail as you feel comfortable.

@thegerg: within this context we are using the definition that deals with the support of traditional family values.

Aljosa is also socially conservative but doesn't know it

I remember the last time my persona went rampant.

It was castin' Marin Karin all over the place and the shadows wouldn't stop rubbing me.

In most of the world they just use the term 'liberal' because that means center or center-right. However, in the United States the so called 'progressive' democrats (far-left) hijacked the term 'liberal', and therefore the term 'classical liberal' is used.

Erm, you're talking about Liberal, not liberal.

LMAO the Democrats being far left. That's hilarious!

You need to play more video games.

In the U.S. the so called 'progressives' are socialists. And they erroneously use the term 'liberal' to describe themselves.

They need to look up the political definition of 'liberal'.

I feel as though some individuals in this thread have their definitions mixed up.

Marriage is overrated.

Is it?
