Not necessarily. Current tax laws already treat common law relationships as defined in the tax act no different from actual marriages, and there is no reason that can't continue. Whether married (or common law) couples should be taxed differently than unmarried persons is a separate policy...

My feeiling on the subject of gay marriage is that the government should get out of the marriage business altogether. Individuals should be free to enter into cohabitation/partnership agreements on whatever terms are mutually agreeable and these should be enforceable by the courts. Private...

Can't any of you people detect sarcasm? Obviously the OP was not being serious.

It certainly has nothing to do with your lack of education or critical thinking skills...

Your post just gave me cancer...

You people don't get it. Whether you like it or not, the second amendment to the US constitution guarantees the right of the people to bear arms. You can quibble over whether an "assault" weapon falls within the definition of "arms" and the like, but the fundamental issue remains. There is a...

What exactly are your issues with Obama? And why would you not vote for Romney, other than the fact that he's "nuts"? I'm all ears.

I don't know whether the Mormons were right all along, although they are no more right or wrong than the Christians, the Muslims, the Jews etc etc. Adam Smith on the other hand was very much right and was way ahead of his time. As for the old canard that both parties are the same and in the...

It's called Irony, Dumbass.

The voters of Wisconsin decisively supported Scott Walker in the recall election and in doing so essentially ratified his program of spending cuts and curtailing of public sector union domination. Republicans are rallying behind Romney, including an important endorsement today by Rand Paul...

This is a non-issue. There are plenty of valid avenues of criticism of Dix and the NDP without having to resort to this kind of nonsense. Although I do concede that there is some guilty pleasure to be had in seeing one's political opponents suffer public embarrassment.

It is not the duty of the SCOTUS to determine if a piece of legislation is "rational" or not. The relevant question is of constitutionality. Kindly show me the section that permits this kind of expansion of the powers of the federal government and infringement on individual liberty. The first...

I totally agree that one should seek out many different sources of news and opinion before forming one's own opinion. I certainly don't think it is healthy to get all of ones news from Fox (or MSNBC for that matter). What I don't accept is the mainstream American media's overt liberal bias. This...

In my view, the important difference between FOX and the others is that FOX wears its bias on its sleeve and makes no bones about it, whereas the others actually present themselves as being impartial.
