If you care that consenting adults can get married, regardless of their genders or colors or sexual proclivities, you're not really a conservative. You use the term to describe yourself because you think some people will favor it, like when people on dating sites call themselves "adventurous." Real adventurers meet new lovers at zip-lining conventions, or even prayer marathons, not online in chat rooms. And real conservatives don't care what consenting adults do with their money or lungs or genitals if it does not intrude on the liberty of others.
But worse than the "conservatives" who think your freedom ends when you want to do something they find icky are the ones who would truly pervert the Constitution to fight what they see as perversion.
On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to take up cases in which federal judges have ordered states to allow same-sex marriage, so here come the constitutional amendments against gay marriage....

“truly pervert the Constitution to fight what they see as perversion”
I always laugh when sodomites invoke the Constitution.
HELLO! Jefferson wanted homosexuals CASTRATED!
Don’t you dare invoke the Founding!

This person does not know the difference between a conservative and a libertarian.
Progressives redefining the terms again.
Right is right and wrong is wrong, It doesn’t matter how many are doing right and how many are doing wrong.
The author also doesn’t know much of anything at all about CONSERVATIVES !
How many legs does a cow have?
Now, let’s agree to call the cow’s tail a leg.
How many legs does the cow have now?
FOUR YOU BLOOMING IDIOT!
Calling a tail a leg doesn’t make it one!
First, joining a man with a man is not a marriage. Marriage is two ‘unlike’ things: for example, a man and a woman.
Second, marriage is about protecting women and children. It isn’t about who has warm fuzzies for who.
Third, monogamous marriage is the structure on which our culture is built. Without the bonds of responsibility for family holding together the nuclear family, we will have the law of the prey and preyed upon instead. It will be the worst setback, especially for women, since the demise of the pagan culture of ancient Rome. They will become sperm dumps, afterthoughts, single female impoverished and preyed upon.
Most importantly, marriage is about God and His natural law. Men fit naturally with women. The penis fits a vagina. The sperm fits an egg. The child fits the family. And the male/female influence in the family balances the child.
Thank you, xzins.
Apparently the author thinks hey we’re redefining marriage why not do the same for conservatism?
And what exactly is conservative about implementing the left’s agenda by judicial fiat?
wow, this is all they got???
guess they saw the homophobic namecalling tactic isnt really working.
Do the math people!
Take one man and one woman; put them in a romantic environment and come back in a year or so. They’ll be holding a beautiful little baby.
Take two men or two women;put them in the same environment and time frame and when you come back they’ll hide the only products their bodies will have produced. Stinking buckets of fecal waste.
Wait... You're saying that the extinction of paganism in ancient Rome was a bad thing? That the replacement of paganism with Christianity was a setback for women?

Juvenval, in his Satire II, expresses his outrage against, “... a man of high birth and wealth being handed over in marriage to a man. “ and goes on to add, “Yes, and if we only live long enough, we shall see these things done openly : people will wish to see them reported among the news of the day.” ( Ramsay trans. in Loeb edition )
I’ve often thought that it might make a point if one were to press for this volume of the Loeb Classical Library to be banned as hate speech.
I think he has in mind that this demise marked the ascendance of an enlightened Christian view, in opposition to Roman decadence, and this is the biggest setback since that ascendance ... or something like that.
However, there was a conservative Roman tradition ( voiced by Juvenal, e.g. ) that was trampelled by this decadence, very much in parallel to our present decadent times.
Yes, I agree. Poorly written. The Roman pagan culture was terrible for women, and this new homosexual culture will be as well.
Women, in particular, have not carefully thought through what it will mean to go from a “nuclear family culture” to a ‘homosexual culture’.
Does that go for incestuous couples?
Bigamists?
So many situations two adults who consent and yet cannot get married to each other in this country.
What a concept.
Yet they are still at liberty to marry OTHER people (if they aren't already married).
And the author throws the racist charge in there.
The goal is the smash the institution of marriage.
SMASH THE PATRIARCHY
SMASH MONOGAMY
SMASH THE STATE
same mantras as they had in the 60s.
Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften war stance...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.[Posted on 01/31/2013 5:08:50 PM PST by xzins]
