Why is it that so many in the U.S. are against personal freedom, but for the freedom of corporations to do whatever they like?

Or as it was once so well put, making freedom so small that it only fits in the bedroom.

They need to ban straight women from getting married so I won't be sleeping around with so many married women.

Should Obama stay out of what is essentially state matters? Sure. Even if the state matters are about something that shouldn't even concern the states all that much. Sure again.

Yes, it's possible for the right to present such matters in a way that riles some of the blue-noses among us. When presented non-confrontationally, most Americans couldn't care less. Most think that 2 people should be able to make arrangements between themselves that govern their property and legal relationships and think the gov't should stay the hell out.

Should Obama govern from the middle? That is a different matter.

Of course, conservatives are spouting that at this time when their failed policies have been rejected by a significant majority of the voters. This is the little boy who says, "If you don't play by my rules, I'll take my bat home" argument.

SOME people operate out of the spurious position that the world is black and white...and the middle. However, it is perfectly possible for the winning party to govern 'from the middle' with a lean to their direction. Obama is entitled to do that. Obama is entitled to this. The majority said this in their vote on Tuesday.

It's only a judgement call on his part how far he goes in the liberal direction. He would be a fool to listen to the conservatives who have created this mess and limit his decisions to what would salve their consciences.

Is it possible for him to go to far to the left? Of course it is. Nothing in his rhetoric says he will do that deliberately though.

His biggest mistake would be to listen to the losers of Tuesday's election. He should first ask them: What concessions are you willing to make? If you say the right thing, then we can work together. If you are just going to repeat the failed mantras of the last 28 years, then excuse me, but I have other people to talk to.

I said it after voting for A. Gore and seeing W. Bush win in 2000. I believe C. Powell, too, hoped for this, as evinced his confirmation testimony for SecState, shows.

Your question reminds me of leftists' persisting belief in their own minority status and ongoing persecution in American politics.

Good. Putting your pee pee in another dude's poo poo is unnatural. Hetero anal is cool tho.

Very conservative, Kuros. I have long said, and I have said it here, too, that African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Latin Americans, and most of the rest of the world, socially speaking, tends to fall much more closely in line with Sarah Palin's politics than with B. Obama's. Let us not even get into the Islamic Middle East.

This will not change soon. I disagree with you. We, progressive-thinking whites in North America and Western Europe, will be the ones who increasingly die off and see ourselves replaced by them.

In the longterm, our progressive thinking and politics have accomplished this: we have enabled their socially-conservative politics to triumph on this planet.

They were joking on the Daily Show, that having record numbers of African-American voters to the polls is what made the difference to banning gay marriage!

Kinda funny, and yet, probably some strong truth to that!

Dan Savage is going to shit.

I know my gay friends just shook their heads and used some very colourful language.
