I was thinking in much broader terms, but the homosexual agenda and RvW are part of it.
Now, bear something in mind: My take on the gay "marriage" issue and the abortion issue are not in lockstep with those of the folks here on FR who track them most ardently.
On gay "marriage":
Get the government ENTIRELY out of the marriage business. Establish legal equity (inheritance, next-of-kin rights, taxation, perhaps insurance... NOT adoption!) by making all of the legal pair-bonding contracts "Unions". Let the culture-war aspect of the issue be handled by the people. It is NOT the government's job to take a side in the culture war. I believe the matter will settle once the majority no longer need be concerned that a very small minority-within-a-minority will use the government to force them to pretend to love them.
On Abortion:
I very, VERY tepidly support the continued availability of legal abortion.
OTOH, Roe vs. Wade is clearly unconstitutional, for several reasons, and should be struck down.
The matter should then return to the several State legislatures, perhaps even to local legislatures.
If you want my reasoning for this, i'll explain in as much detail as I can... I've lost track of where I posted my thoughts on this issue, but I can reconstitute them, thought they might lack the specific citations I used before.
see above.
the DNC might be able to deal with these compromises.
"I was thinking in much broader terms, but the homosexual agenda and RvW are part of it."
I'm sure you were speaking in much broader terms. I was merely citing a couple of examples. All of us at FR have our own beliefs and agendas. That is what makes the discussions here so interesting.
My beliefs are as follows:
I want the feds out of most everything they have involved
themselves with; out of schooling, out of all social engineering, out of subsidies for business or agriculture.
These things will never happen, but I believe the feds job is to protect America....not to protect us from ourselves.
