Cheney sure is chatty lately. I liked it better when we didn't know where he was.

Freedom is always a good option and one Obama keeps stripping away.

In this case, then, you'd like to protect "children and families" from the freedom? Am I following your utterly off-topic post?
All wry humor aside, it astonishes me how much Dick Cheney wants to assert his world view now that he's out of office. The guy regarded his daughter's "orientation" as off-limits even when discussing gay rights as a campaign issue in '04, resentfully snapping back at the obvious observation that his party's platform was at odds with even his own family life. Every topic was off-limits back then, when he was in a position to lead. Now that he's out of office he'll shoot his mouth off first and ask questions later.

Finally, one thing I agree with Cheney on. Too bad the party he represents & so strongly supports doesn't agree with him, and would prefer to deny his daughter the very rights that Cheney says he thinks she deserves. If he really felt that "freedom is for everyone" and that gay people should be allowed to marry, he should have been pushing his party to accept that (for libertarian/small gov't reasons, if for no other).

Agreed-
Let the voters decide with as they did in California and they voted "no" to protect kids and families.

He speaks his opinion-right or wrong. That is good for all of us americans.
Obama blames all his problems on the Bush Admin instead of taking some responsibility for his failed socialism. But you think that Cheney better not dare speak out about Obama.....

How exactly does forbidding same sex couples from marrying "protect" kids and families?
Yeah encouraging monogamous relationships is so damaging to heterosexual families. </sarcasm>
