		<description><![CDATA[Ahh, name calling.  Well done.  I&#039;m sure that wins many arguments for you.  At least I&#039;m snarky and adults laugh at my jokes (or me) and my barbs have something to do with the person I&#039;m talking about.  (To note: wart-hogged faced doesn&#039;t work as I&#039;m quite handsome, buffoon also doesn&#039;t work considering my education level, etc and donkey?  meehhhh)  The only people amused by name calling are 2nd graders.  Now, if that is the level you&#039;re working on, I&#039;m not sure you&#039;re the one qualified to analyze laws and The Constitution.

There are a lot of problems with President that you can reasonably criticize him for.  However, when you say crazy-ass things like this, you actually hurt your own side&#039;s arguments.  Kind of like how Pelosi makes Dems look like jackasses.  You are a lesser successful version of Nancy Pelosi.

And good God man, I&#039;m not saying take all guns away from white people.  Or people of any color.  You swung and missed on that one, Less-Successful Pelosi.  As convenient as stereotypes may be to you due to their simplistic and black-and-white nature, they just don&#039;t hold water here.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tin-foil hats...nice one.  How long did it take you to come up with that one, donkey?  Must have used most of your brain power thinking that genius reply up.  I will try to use small words so you understand them.  When Obama signed a law stating that American citizens could be detained indefinitely without cause or trial, yes that abolished the Bill of Rights.  Or did they forget to tell you that on the news?  It&#039;s okay, just worry about taking white people&#039;s guns away because a mexican killed a black guy.  Hopefully those words were small enough, you warthog-faced buffoon.]]></description>

Your statement also assumes that embryos are widely agreed to be humans.  That is not remotely agreed upon.  There is the difference.]]></description>

Also, do you guys know where to get some cheap, lightly-used tinfoil hats?  I don&#039;t know if mine is working any more and since ObamNO took all of my money and gave it to poor minorities, I can&#039;t afford a new one.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I usually don&#039;t announce it in advance. Last year I did it on Thursday nights, but this year it&#039;s going to mostly be Wednesdays due to the video shooting schedule (I usually do this in order to get questions for HBT Extra, which we now shoot on Thursdays).

No set schedule, but I try to keep it near 9PM or so on Wednesdays. And not every wednesday.  I know that&#039;s not a great way to plan, but whatever.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Frank, I agree with everything you said in the first paragraph, and thumbs-upped you. But I&#039;m going to give credit where credit&#039;s due. He did the right thing, mostly. But agreed on the War on Terror, Bill of Rights and drone war. 

As for claiming that gay marriage is non-issue, I think that&#039;s just wrong, and disrespectful to the history of the oppression of gays and lesbians in the country, and the ongoing oppression of gays and lesbians.

&quot;There&#039;s something very deep about having your government declare you a stranger to its laws, defining your love as outside all respectable recognition. For my president to stand up and say that I should belong fully to my nation, that my wife and I should be considered as fully married as my brother and his wife—well, it reopens and washes out some very deeply incised sense of exclusion, a scar inflicted when, at age 15, I first panicked at the realization that I might be queer.&quot;

		<description><![CDATA[Did you really just give &quot;props&quot; to the guy who abolished the Bill of Rights?  I hope that was a poor attempt as sarcasm, because only a truly stupid person could possibly support the guy who is going around killing American citizens whenever he wants, and is authorizing drone strikes to kill regular people like you and me every day...oh but that&#039;s okay, because those people aren&#039;t the same color and live in other countries, right?  

Gay marriage is a NON-ISSUE that is being pushed by the media so the retarded American people keep their eyes diverted from the loss of freedom, destruction of their currency, and rapidly encroaching fascist state.  Props to Obama, indeed, if you are an elite globalist hell bent on the destruction of America and the American constitution.  Enjoy your race war, it is cool as long as two people can have their love sanctioned by the almighty State, because THAT is what really matters at this point in history.  

Note:  Please see Craig&#039;s above comment about questioning everything.  Mostly he is right on, but he is wrong about one thing, because it is okay to be a dick when the mindlessness of morons is destroying us all.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yeah but you&#039;re allowed to marry the person you love and if your preference doesn&#039;t fall into the accepted orientations you can&#039;t. That&#039;s called discrimination and it is not treating everyone equally. Are you too afraid to actually think about what it means to be gay?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ehh, I see the distinction you&#039;re making, but it doesn&#039;t really mean much of anything in the long run.

I&#039;m not bagging on you or calling you a bigot, trust me. 

Perhaps using the term &quot;equal rights&quot; is imprecise, but think of it this way: straight people have the right to marry the person they love; gay people don&#039;t.  That&#039;s unequal.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m a Republican and I couldn&#039;t care less who marries who(m?).  The argument that it ruins the institution of marriage is a joke. I mean, if the divorce rate is 50%, is there even an institution of marriage anymore?  And two guys getting married will not affect my marriage in the slightest, and if your marriage would be affected by that, maybe you have other issues to address.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m a straight man.  I cannot go out and marry another man just like a gay man cannot go out and marry another man.  We have the SAME RIGHTS when it comes to marriage.

I will say it again hombre, I am pro gay marriage.  What I find silly is that argument that there are not equal rights.  Just because the rights are equal doesn&#039;t mean they&#039;re a good thing.  I think the rights should be extended to include same sex marriage (for everybody).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Really, everybody in this country has the same rights when it comes to marriage.&quot;

Huh?

So...you&#039;re saying that gay people have always had equal rights because all they have to do is lie to themselves about who they are and simply marry someone of the opposite gender?

That&#039;s really circular logic.]]></description>
