Jimmy Carter disappoints on the issue of Texas and gay marriage

[MADem]

14. I'm outta here. You're misrepresenting what I said and you want to fight with me.

No one--not me, not Carter--is "defending bigotry." No one is saying that "states should be allowed to maintain their bigotry." You are coming to that conclusion all on your own, without any help from me or Jimmy Carter.

You refuse to acknowledge that the source of the article is a right wing site that has no love for equality, yet you're taking their word for the context of Carter's remarks, despite the fact that I have provided a link and quotes that reflect his actual pro-LGBT position on the issue of equality.

And you persist in ignoring my point that the day you can get married in a state without a license issued by that state will be a day that never comes. States -- not the federal government -- issue marriage licenses.

Using an analogy to explain the relationship between the federal government and state governments is not comparing marriage to driving speeds or drinking rights--it's using an example to explain the RELATIONSHIP of the two governments.

Have the last word because I've had more than enough abuse. I am disappointed in the way that you "argue" a point and I am especially disappointed in your false characterizations of me.
