Marriage is a religous concern, for sure. But also a vital civil issue as well. And more than that - marriage is the foundation of a healthy and productive society. Has been since the ancient Greeks and Romans.
Liberals are dead set on destroying the traditional marriage. From replacing the father with a welfare check to no fault divorces to same-sex marriages and worse. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the natural results of this; poverty, crime, welfare roles increasing, unemployment, mass murders at schools and on and on we go.
To say that the government should not be involved in marriage is as bad as endorsing LBJ's Great Society programs and B. Hussein's same sex marriage executive orders which are soon to come. The government must be involved in upholding marriage between a man and a woman or face a complete colapse.

They were discussing the involvement of the Federal Government in marriage. It is inappropriate and weakens our overall rights.
