yes. and you would be well served to be more precise and literal rather than infusing emotional bias and bigotry into your views.
Sorry, you didn't answer my question. Now who is it that is avoiding being precise?
Her opinion is a majority POV, including the POTUSA, your Obama.
Yes and the majority is always correct. I mean, the majority don't believe women should have equal rights, the majority used to believe slavery was OK and the majority used to believe the world was flat.
It is bigotry on anyone's part to deny her access to any freedoms (including the opportunity to be miss usa) for her opinion.
A beauty pageant isn't a democracy,
Herr. It would help if you read the previous posts.
The pageant judges can vote for whoever they and their sponsors like. And I'm fairly sure the gay judges didn't like her answer. That's their perogative.
She expressed her opinion as a belief for HER life, and you nor anyone else has a right to hurt her for that.
Again, she didn't say it just for herself - which is bad enough - she said ti for herself AND her country. Which she has since gone on to prove. Bigotry should be pointed out and no one withheld from criticism about it just because they might get their feelings hurt.
You're mixing and matching here. A 'choice' is choice for opinion.
That's a good spin. Choice = choice of opinion to have or not have an opinion. Er, no. Nice try though.
Fact is, same sex marriage is not allowed except in 4 states, one of which is not her state of CA. So she is taking nothing away; it does not exist.
Which was pointed out as her ignorance since that's something she believed and said.
She, like the majority of americans AND THE ADMINISGTRATION offer civil unions.
it helps if you do!
Well, if you read earlier posts, a great many states DON'T offer civil unions and indeed rushed to the polls to vote marriage in as man/woman only. So the great many don't even believe that...
And the majority is always...oh wait, no they're not. Mob rule and all that.
good answer but a major cop out. How much BS is that? It is the policticians who are making and passing the laws, particularly the ones at issue here. Iowa now allows gay marriage; no citizen was allowed to vote on this. The legislature did not even allow a vote to be called to provide for a public forum.
I don't like people to vote on whether minorities should have civil rights or not. Why should there even be a vote? People either have civil rights or they don't.
And you say let the politicians off the hook for their positions? You take a very dangerous view of civics and governament and public policy.
Sorry, but I don't "let them off the hook". YOU said that, not me. I'm not happy with Obama's decision, but he was the lesser of two evils IMO. MUCH lesser and I have plenty of reason to believe he was sucking up to Miss CA's conservative religious crowd in his statements - I might be wrong on her political affiliation, but I doubt it.
