>>> Try answering his facts

-You can't make people like us by bombing them.

No, but bombing does sometimes solve problems.

-Letting gay people get married does nothing to hurt straight people

Perhaps, but redefining a legal term (such as "married") after 100s of years of law on the books already presumes a particular meaning is not a good idea. If homos MUST be "married" create a new term. It could be something simple, like "HOMARRIED" or "QUARRIED". Not complicated. But two homos who are married are not the same thing as a man and wife. Two different things, and they require two different names.

The world was not created 6000 years ago and dinosaurs did not roam the earth with people

-Letting corporations operated and grow unfettered does not lead to pure competition

Increasing government regulation doesn't, either -- and it has devastating consequences for our economy. Corporations that are over-regulated will simply go somewhere to conduct their business. That's why other nations are cutting government regulation of businesses.

-Cutting taxes is not always a good thing for the economy

Of course it is. There is zero doubt about this amongst people who understand even the very basics of economics.
