Clint Lays It Out On Republicans

[mrjarrell]

Eastwood's a long time republican, (of the Eisenhower type, as he puts it) who says flat out that the republicrats have lost their way. Wonder if he thinks they can ever find the backbone to get back to their roots? My guess is no. They're happy with what they've become, and it's pitiful.

Clint Eastwood: ‘I don’t give a f*ck’ if gays marry | The Raw Story

I like this quote from him

"Because what I really believe is, let's spend a little more time leaving everybody alone."

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Roots? Where in the Republican Party platform is the long tradition of gay marriage?

 

[Rob377]

Roots? Where in the Republican Party platform is the long tradition of gay marriage?

All the way back to Abraham Lincoln, who founded the GOP, duh!

The roots of The GOP is government not getting into people's business. What he's saying is the GOP is going against there roots by getting involved in people's business on who can marry who.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

The roots of The GOP is government not getting into people's business.

Based on what?

 

[mrjarrell]

Kirk's 100% right. Republicans aren't about leaving people alone, or having smaller, less intrusive government. Haven't been that way in his lifetime and there's no indication that they'll ever be that way. They're all about big government, warfare and being nanny's, involved in everyone's bedroom and lives.

I admit I'm wrong it but it just seems they always talk about how big the government is and how there gonna make it smaller, and more efficient. thats just my take. But now after doing research I see that I'm wrong on my take of there roots. I apologize.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

I think many people on INGO confuse the Republican Party with the Libertarian Party.

Discussion about whether we allow homosexuals to marry aside, I think we get confused by getting our political premises all mixed up.

Once upon a time, back in Clint's younger days, you could say that they sorta stood for those things, but in the days since Eisenhower the gop has just become a corrupt and lying machine that is just a dark mirror image of their dem buddies. They're not even an "opposition" party, in any real sense. Even their most sainted leader was a big government, deficit spender.

Yes, but he did it to crush the South. Today Republican leaders love big government and deificit spending in order to buy votes.

Hell, I wasn't even talking about the Tyrant, but you're not wrong.

So you are in favor of gay marriage? Are you a homo?

 

[eldirector]

I think mrjarell, like many of us, just want "them" to stay out of "our" business.

Small government is small government. Period. NOT small government, except for the social issues *I* care about. It is just plain, old, mind-your-own-business small.

 

[mrjarrell]

So you are in favor of gay marriage? Are you a homo?

As a matter of fact I am in favour of marriage equality. As for your other asinine question, I'm quite heterosexual. I just support equal rights for everyone. Unlike you, I presume.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Hell, I wasn't even talking about the Tyrant, but you're not wrong.

The Tyrant?

No, if Lincoln, the Great Emancipator and Savior of Our Nation, isn't the most sainted Republican, who is? Are you talking about Coolidge?

 

[Darral27]

I could care less about gay marriage. If two men or two women want to marry they should be able to. The only part that should be settled before marriage is who gets half of who's stuff when the divorce comes around.
If everybody does care so much about not having big gov't we all need to start talking up Ron Paul. I know as well as everybody else he has some real crack pot ideas. However I think 4 years of him would be the only way we can get back on track.

Bite your tongue! Cal was the best you guys had in the 20th century and no-one else even came close. As for who I was referring to...c'mon. You know who modern "republicans" wet themselves worshiping.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

How about three? If not, why are you imposing your views on me?

What about if one wants to marry a 9 year old as some religious leaders did? If one cannot, why impose your views?

Multiple wives? If I cannot have multiple wives, am I free?

Is it: 1) whatever I want, or 2) when you break the big laws, you get anarchy and not liberty?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

You're referencing Ronnie Raygun . . . or Sean Hannity?
