With the Iowa ruling, is social conservatism in politics on its deathbed?
There aren’t riots in the streets in Iowa. It seems that Americans are rapidly growing less and less patient with the (shrinking) group of extremist, hypocritical bigots dictating what is right and wrong the rest of us.
Should be left up to the states. I wonder if bi sexuals will counter protest gays now. LOL!
The social conservative (bowel) movement is all but dead. Thank goodness for that!
Yes, we are getting tired of neolib lunatics.
Courts don’t reflect the will of the people, just the musings of feeble men and their nutty liberal law clerks.
nobody ever protested ghey marridge because healthy people dont protest.
PS you sound desperate. Man up
Yep, they hate freedom for everyone
Vox populi, vox dei.
“The voice of the people [is] the voice of God.”
A few Liberal judges do not speak for God. Just the people do.
Looks like Iowa needs new judges.
In a free society, it is not the place of the government to dictate who marries who.
No, white Christian conservatives don’t riot. That would be the, ummm…let’s see, how to put this delicately…
That would be the non-white, non-Christian, non-conservatives that group together and riot and break and burn things.
You wish!
Most Americans are against gay marriage and even Obama said he was too.
I will be happy if every homo in the country moves to Iowa.
just wait til all the homo’s get there…homosexuality is an abomination…
Let us hope so.
Yes. Smut and bad behavior is on the rise.
Adam thank you for making my point against Democrats…funny how you ‘instantly’ thought that there would be riots in the streets in Iowa even the ruling was just implemented, yet odd how you arent saying that Obama should have ‘instantly’ changed America.
I swear you liberal America-haters are all such easy targets ; )
You sound extreme….more foolishness but, 2 points
Hopefully the American Taliban will die a fast but ugly death.
Dictators = Heil Obama = Complete Loss of American Freedoms
living in iowa, i can tell you we are more concerned with the economy and the environment then we are about gay marriage. we are proud that our state gives the same rights to everyone.
Shrinking extremists? You think people who are against gay marriage are the extemeists? Oh boy you haven’t see sh*t yet.
gay marriage is a bullsh*t nonissue on both sides. Claim victory over a nonsense issue and feel empowered and good as if progress has been made. Worked like a charm on you and them.
Meanwhile back at the ranch tax slavery multiplies exponentially and inflation looms to break our backs.
But yay gay marriage…who really gives a f*ck either way but an idiot?
For those who want a link, here it is: http://www.politico.com/static/PPM104_090403_iowacourt.html (It’s also available on the Iowa SC website, but that system is buckling under the load so Politico.com has posted a copy.)
The Iowa State Supreme Court, by unanimous decision, rules that gay couples have an equal right to marry under the Iowa State Constitution. The final line of the ruling:
AFFIRMED.
All justices concur.
The ruling becomes effective in 21 days.
On a personal level, I am both surprised and heartened by their ruling. “Social Conservatism” to the extent that it denies any citizen rights or freedoms based upon any non-merit factor has NO place in this nation.
to each his own, but i just can’t picture………….

what does Iowa have to do with Conservative Ideology like letting people keep the money that they ern and civil morality
Marriage it not a Right covered by the U.S. Constitution , Marriage is a Privilege like being issued a License to drive a motor vehicle is a Privilege , being Issued a Drivers License is covered by State Law not Federal Law , if you want Marriage to be one of your Constitutional Rights you will have get Congress to make an Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
personally I don’t care what consenting adults do in privet and people can protect their wishes as far as others are concerned with a Living Will
