Speaking of the State of the Union,....
OK,..several days have passed since GWB laid out his plan for the next 4 years.
If anything will be remembered of the GWB administration, it'll be the concept of "black and white."
It's evident that GWB doesn't tolerate gray areas. Post-9/11, the position was "either you are with us, or you are against us." Osama bin Laden was wanted "dead or alive." (OK, that was a joke, guys,..)
Now, as we enter the last half of his administration, GWB has stated, again, in no uncertain terms the following:
There are two types of governments out there: government where power is given BY THE PEOPLE and government where power is TAKEN FROM THE PEOPLE.
Stable governments are formed from the former. Think he's wrong? Look at Germany and Japan? 60 years on and I don't see them declaring war or making overt threats to their neighbors. Iraq, Afghanistan, and yes, even the Palestinian State are headed that way. It takes time. The (former) Ukraine government learned this the hard way.
Iran, North Korea, and most of Africa follow the latter and, in most cases, Islamic sharia law is leading the way.
And finally,...I have to wonder how many MSMSNBC pundits would've mocked all the standing ovations if Kerry had been elected? Would the purple fingers held high been hailed as "progressive" behaviour?
Repeat after me,..."We are NOT in a theocracy and we are not out to start a holy war!"

Your point being...?
Beg to differ with you, Sray. Dubya, like most of the world, does tolerate gays.
Instead Dubya believes that marriage, a rite born of religious beliefs, is a different animal than civil unions. And the concept of the two should remain separate so as not to muddy the cultural and religious waters.
The gay community wants something else, desiring to equate civil unions and marriage as one and the same. That is absurd on all scales of reality.
That notion is as nonsensical as saying that man and woman are the same when speaking of gender equality. They are NOT the same - but they are both equal despite their differences.
Alas... the true goal of the gay agenda is not benefits, but instead is a re-education and redefining of our culture, achieved by the attempted destruction of the concept of marriage between man and woman. And it looks as if they will accept nothing less, as you do not see them actively seeking a civil union bill.
My wager is that if the gay community would demonstrate the tolerance they so love to preach, and stop trying to redefine the religious rite of marriage to suit their agenda - they would have all they wish from benefits and support with a bill for civil unions.
