I realize I’m entering dream-world here, but there are so many other important “social issues” questions the Fox News team could have been asked at the Fox debates, for example:

Do you think it’s right that the votes of millions of Americans to preserve natural man-woman marriage–in some red states by landslide margins as high as 75-80 percent—were cast aside by five Supreme Court justices? Don’t the votes of “We the People” matter?
What will you do to reign in SCOTUS power and what sort of judges will you appoint as president?
What do you think about the Boy Scouts’ recent decision to allow adult homosexual Scoutmasters—even though the Scouts have been sued by victims from the numerous predator “perversion” scandals in which adult male Scout leaders molested boys in their care?
To Chris Christie: are you concerned that the bill you signed into law in New Jersey banning ex-”gay” “Reparative Therapy” for minors abridges individual freedom and parental rights?
What will you do to make it more difficult for American youth to access pornography, which is ravaging our nation, corrupting our souls and putting young women (and men) at risk?
Should God bless America when Americans cavalierly ignore the Creator’s moral law and embrace sins (e.g., homosexuality, pornography, fornication and abortion) in the name of civil- and constitutional “rights”?

Do you think it’s right that the votes of millions of Americans to preserve natural man-woman marriagein some red states by landslide margins as high as 75-80 percentwere cast aside by five Supreme Court justices? Don’t the votes of “We the People” matter?

1) Rights are not meant to be subject to the whims of the mob.
2) Public opinion is now in favour of same-sex marriage.
3) Yes. That's how it works and exactly how the Constitution set things up to work.

What will you do to reign in SCOTUS power and what sort of judges will you appoint as president?

No politician can "reign in" the power of the SCOTUS since they are acting exactly as the Constitution intended.

What do you think about the Boy Scouts’ recent decision to allow adult homosexual Scoutmasterseven though the Scouts have been sued by victims from the numerous predator “perversion” scandals in which adult male Scout leaders molested boys in their care?

Gay people are not fucking pedophiles, get that through your thick fucking head.

are you concerned that the bill you signed into law in New Jersey banning ex-”gay” “Reparative Therapy” for minors abridges individual freedom and parental rights?

Absolutely. It should have been banned outright for adults as well. And any "therapist" who suggests it should be flogged until he repents. This dangerous, quack "therapy" needs to be firmly stamped out for exactly the same reasons as snake oil.

What will you do to make it more difficult for American youth to access pornography, which is ravaging our nation, corrupting our souls and putting young women (and men) at risk?

No, it's not on all three claims.

Should God bless America when Americans cavalierly ignore the Creator’s moral law and embrace sins (e.g., homosexuality, pornography, fornication and abortion) in the name of civil- and constitutional “rights”?

1) Scare quotes scare nobody, they're still rights, even if you mockingly put qootes around them.
2) Why would America want the blessing of your god? Dahmer was a better moral guide than your god.

How many centuries are going to pass before these idiots let it go?

1&2: Ebon already answered.
3: Most child molesters are/identify as straight.
4: Doubtful. He's too busy trying to prepare for a 2020 presidential run. And how does banning Reparative Torture for minors infringe on individual
freedom? You lot insist that children are your property and too ignorant to decide anything for themselves. And no parent should have the right to brutalize their children for any reason, much less in the pursuit of futile ideals.

5: Why do I get the feeling that your concept of pornography consists of women with bare arms and skirts shorter than calf length? And I also get the feeling that you added men as an afterthought. Again
Ebon has answered you.

6: How do you know that God has ever blessed America? It's a secular nation nation after all. And leaving the question of which version of God you think that we should follow aside, as a secular nation we follow a clearly defined set of secular laws, rather than some ill defined set of "moral law" which usually boils down to "what we decided to
keep from the Bible today".

Please grow up and get out of other people's bedrooms.

- That would have been a case of tyranny of the majority. There is nothing natural about a legal contract.
- "Reign" in SCOTUS power? Do you think that the president is a dictator who can do whatever he wants? Did you skive off all social studies in school?
- As the Boy Scouts have already had straight pedophiles in their ranks, allowing gay non-pedophiles in won't change anything.
- Child abuse is not a parental right.
- With a free Internet, you won't be able to restrict access.
- Should God bless America? Is the President in charge of God? Sin is an arbitrary concept and is well below civil rights in a secular nation. The Bible has nothing against abortion, but tells you again and again to care for the poor and sick.

1. You can't vote on other people's rights. Lewis Cass and Stephen Douglas tried it out in the 1850s with the slavery debate, and look how that turned out.

2. I'm not running, but surely one who recognises people's rights would be a terrific appointee.

3. Once again, g3igh!=pædo. This is an old libel, and it's no truer now.

4. No. Reparative therapy is torture. It abridges the child's rights. For the same reason I support banning corporal punishment on children.

5. Nothing. We need to be forthright about sex. Otherwise, we get people like... you.

6. Irrelevant for a number of reasons. First, no God exists. Second, even if a god existed, it would have no authority over our actions as a secular state. Third, even if it did exist and have authority over us, we can't answer its questions for it.
