“Make mine the Founder’s Libertarianism every time.”

According to Bernard Bailyn the work most cited by the Founders in their deliberations was Deuteronomy. They lived in a world suffused with Christian ethics, not the vacant amorality that you’re pushing.

I knew that. And I also knew that Article VIII Section I gave the fed gov the power to regulate morality.

Of course, that ain't in there and I'm not pushing a damned thing. I dont support gay marriage in any way, shape or fashion. Read the rest of my responses and you'll see it's quite the opposite. It's you guys that are pushing something. It's called progressivism and it's dangerous whether pushed by republicans as by democrats.

So when you've established that the Constitution means and says whatever you want, how do you tell a liberal that they dont have the power to do the same thing? And once it's established that either party can violate the Const at will, what leg are you standing on when they regulate away the 2nd ammendment or any of the others? That's the bottom line of what I'm saying.

It's incumbent upon US, not the govt to protect marriage.

So therefore you're good with just ignoring the limits of the constitution and making your own rules...just like the dems?"
