When was the time that your new found freedom for homosexuals to “marry” and Muslims to have their multiple wives exist in America?

When did marriage not have government involvement in America?

Fail again. Where did the Founders give that power to the FedGov?

Here's Blackstone's take on it...

OUR law considers marriage in no other light than as a civil contract. The Holiness of the matrimonial state is left entirely to the ecclesiastical law: the temporal courts not having jurisdiction to consider unlawful marriages as a sin, but merely as a civil inconvenience.

Doesn't really speak well of your position when you can't articulate it better. As I said, the less government involvement, the fewer problems we'll have with fringe groups like those in the gay community.

And like the post office and the DMV, you really want the government to have MORE control?

I stand by my "idiot" pronouncement. You prove it correct with every subsequent post.
