On November 18, 2003, Bill O'Reilly dedicated the "Talking Points Memo" portion of his Fox News show to criticizing the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, which had just made a historic ruling determining that the state could not deny marriage licenses to same-sex couples. In his monologue, O'Reilly claimed that while he personally "couldn't care less about gay marriage," if judges continued to "impose their views on everybody else ... the core values of this country will be changed dramatically":
O'REILLY: Personally I couldn't care less about gay marriage. If Tommy and Vinny or Joanie and Samantha want to get married, I don't see it as a threat to me or anybody else. But according to a poll by the Pew Research Center, only 32 percent of Americans favor gay marriage. And the will of the people must be taken into account here.
We simply can't allow this country to be run by ideological judges. Marriage is not a right, neither is driving a car. Both are privileges granted by the state.
If the good people of Massachusetts want a secular approach to marriage, let them vote on it. But judges have no right to find loopholes in the law and impose their views on everybody else. That's happening all over America. And if it continues, the core values of this country will be changed dramatically. Another secular victory today, this Massachusetts marriage deal.
when are the fence walkers going to realize that the right wing argument nullifies itself it does exactly what the doom and gloom crowd says other's rights will do to them force their views on others who don't walk through that same tunnel of bigotry. everything they cry foul is of their own contrivances they are doing them that is where they get the idea to blame us that is their example themselves still nothing new under the republican tent DFSC, (different faces same crap). whats becoming more clear is more people don't want evangelical tenets governing their lives hate is late and they are long gone when it arrives.
who the hell are O'REILLY and the foxettes to decide what this country allows, when you speak for those who only hear your voice are you not preaching to the choir?? tantamount to leading a thirsty horse to water no trick he will drink.
