“Firstly, I’d like to claim that you’re a creepy stalker - I think anyone who would search around the internet for information about someone they don’t know in order to find information to smear them is a bit creepy. Maybe I’m alone on that?

“Firstly, if you would have bothered to check, I’m a libertarian. Thus, I support gay marriage. Being “married” to a friend of the same sex on Facebook is quite a popular phenomena, if you were unaware. This is in no way disrespectful to gays. Secondly, how did you know that I wasn’t truly married. Sure, it also says “interested in women,” but who’s to say THAT isn’t the lie and that I’m actually married to another man? Again, I’m pro-gay marriage.

“I’m also pro-drug rights, pro-prostitution legalization, pro-moving the drinking age to 18 and pro-expansion of gambling. I’m for those things because an adult citizen has the right to do those things as they wish. However, these acts do not harm others. I am pro-life because the act of “liberty” for the woman does impact another negatively; the unborn human being.

“Lastly, for clarification, the woman in the picture is my mother.”

How are you “pro-God” if you’re pro-gay marriage and gambling? Also, it’s legally impossible for you to be married to another man in Florida. If you want to be so politically involved there, it might help if you knew what the laws were. I know people do that on Facebook, and I don’t think it’s very funny - especially when you mention you’re a conservative Christian (and a libertarian, even though ‘Christian Libertarian’ is an oxymoron).

Illegal abortion kills 70,000 women in the U.S. every year. That includes the potential human being they’re carrying, so if you believe abortion is murder, then it kills about 140,000 people every year. The abortion rate does not decrease in places where abortion is illegal - but the death rate goes way, way up. Anti-abortion is anti-woman.

I’m not going to respond to the “creepy stalker” comment, other than to say, if you want to name your blog after yourself and identify your age and where you live and go to school, and then leave your Facebook profile public, it’s kind of not my problem. And you used “firstly” before two paragraphs.

Tumblr is a tough place for political commentary. You’re going to have to be on your toes if you want anyone to take you seriously.
