you, i just disagreed politely and with good humor. that was an attack at humor. maybe i should have had a sign on the bottom saying irony. of course you get attacked from left and right all the time. if you are in the business and big boy that s going to happen. you have to ignore it because otherwise you will spend your time in response. major issues of our time where you express yourself if you and say the body of conservatives disagree, i think you are obligated to explain yourself with you but, beyond that. i find it an interesting exercise on what the strategy is to divide and conquer on the left and right is ideological purity. were you offended when i said you have got to do more to thump the bible to win the gay marriage debate? did that offend you, charles krauthammer? i think you were right to say it. and the reason is this. it s a serious argument. i have complete respect for anybody who says i m
explain yourself with you but, beyond that. i find it an interesting exercise on what the strategy is to divide and conquer on the left and right is ideological purity. were you offended when i said you have got to do more to thump the bible to win the gay marriage debate? did that offend you, charles krauthammer? i think you were right to say it. and the reason is this. it s a serious argument. i have complete respect for anybody who says i m against abortion or against homosexual marriage because i believe in the bible. that, i respect completely. and i don t argue. however, if you want to persuade people who are not of your faith. you have to go beyond that or you will not succeed. and since we are not a majority country where everybody has the same interpretation of the bible, i think you have to make a case that goes beyond it it s not that i have no respect for it. or that some liberals, i
when you re supposed to be talking about jesus of nazareth, inappropriate and maybe succumbed to temptation all too prevalent. to settle for a lower kingdom when you ought to be referring to a higher one. megyn: and charles krauthammer says he may have been settling for the kingdom of the press knowing the press was there and maybe want today make a splash. i want to let the viewers know i didn t read the quote from the reverend on sunday. drives me crazy with the kaments of religious rights are calling back to you, for blacks to be back in the back of the bus for women in the cash and gays in the closet and immigrants on their side of the border. how about you, dan, do you condemn this the way you did dr. carson. i think what he said was totally inappropriate and inaccurate. there s very much a problem that deserves addressing, there are some on the right, whether the immigration debate, gay marriage debate, their views are shaped and distorted by bigotry, no question about that.
consider gay marriage or same sex marriage, because that is redefining what god gave us. here s my theory about all this. i think it s a generational thing. the reason i say that, there s a recent poll, cnn/orc conducted very recently. federal government should recognize same sex marriages conducted in states that allow them. over65 years old, only 39% agree with that premise. even in states that allow them, they didn t want it to happen. but in 18 to 34 year olds, 77%, more than double. i don t meet anybody under the age of 30 that really gives a damn about the gay marriage debate. they don t get it, because to them, it s not this big taboo subject. do you think there s some merit to that argument? i m sure there s some merit to the argument but you have to go back to what does god say. it s not what i say at all.
