I only see the Democrats defending pedophilia, desiring ethnic cleansing, and silencing their opposition, not the Republicans. It's funny, because for all the accusations of fascism, I've only seen the Democrats actually act like fascists. For example, they accused Trump of being against the freedom of the press, but the only ones shutting media outlets down have been Democrats.
For the pill to be baby murder is to have life be so cheap as to be worthless as the zygotes present by then are quite unlikely to progress to birth, and first-term abortions are still within what would historically have been unnoticed miscarriages while lacking any material capacity for suffering. Condoms prevent anything anyone sees as conception altogether.
How many fundamental differences can you actually pin down to say same-sex relationships cannot perform the same social function as traditional marriage? I'm interested in what it is about men and women that has you think freedom of partner cannot coexist with family values, and how necessary the Man+Woman part really is to those values.
What's in the way of drawing the line at choice of partner to permit homosexuality and interracial marriage but keeping taboos against "hook-up culture" or swingers? Or leaving it to the bedroom as long as both are consenting adults? You do not have to make a mad dash to the furthest extremes, one can stop at any point and join hands with those less permissive to oppose the more extreme.
All of them
Really? The entire premise of Man+Woman is that they perform different tasks, so the ability to accomplish one of those sets in a same-sex couple is a logical requirement. So a Man+Man or Woman+Woman relationship fundamentally cannot wholly fail at the functions of traditional marriage because you have a man or a woman, depending on which of the two is present.
You are trying to create a division that does not exist. All of the social functions of marraige are the result of the biological functions of marriage. Marraige is just the social recognition of how humans are designed to function as a family unit. The roles of marriage are defined by sexual dimorphism both effecting both physical and psychological development. Both sexes have psychological features that exist for the sole purpose of selecting the best members of the opposite sex for marriage. This is why each sex's sexual fantasy is identical to the opposite sex's power fantasy.
I'm not talking about who's *doing* what, frankly.
As an ex leftie, and I mean deep, deep into left wing camp, I can say while the rhetoric might look the same from the outside, the left is the side that touts things like "party of science" while actively rejecting science.
That crowd was rioting and shit before Trump was done with his speech -- in a different location.
It doesn't matter, if they hadn't done something then the media would have still made something up anyways.
One issue I have with the Right, that I think underpins a lot of the Left/Right divide, can be looked at in one phrase:
Ask any abuser to explain themselves, and they will invariably try to paint themselves as the victim, and their victims as the abusers; which, from a disinterested outsider's perspective, can come across as "he said, she said". Dig a little deeper, however, and the truth becomes clear. The regressive left can say whatever they want, but the facts are the facts; and they do not match up at all.
