trkyhntr,
"the "left wing" wants to give constitutional rights to captured terrorists.
What is the difference between us and totalitarian regimes? It is that our citizens have rights. I tend to agree that we need to limit the rights of convicted criminals. This is not the same as what is being done in Gitmo, is it?"
I think you missed your own point, these are terrorists, not necessarily U.S. citizens and you think they should be afforded the same rights as U.S. citizens?
"the "left wing" supports same-sex marriage.
Why do you care what two consenting adults do? I could care less about whether two flamers want to get hitched. How's about doing something to save social security or do something to make our borders secure? To me this is a total non issue."
I view the whole idea of marriage as something having to do with raising children, not what people do behind closed doors, so I really don't see your point on this since obviously same-sex couples can't reproduce (Yet) and they are gonna do sexually whatever they do now and being married will not change that. Actually the whole idea of benefits for married couples should be changed in my viewpoint, which I believe is one of the motivators for same sex marriages.
