It's sad. I have never thought very much of republicans but I do remember a time when at the very least they were consistent. You know, the old fashioned reganite types that believed in smaller government, little to no social programs to help the less fortunate, no enviornmental regulations on businesses, tax cuts for the wealthy and all that jazz but fundamentally they were about keeping government off your back and strict constructionts of the constitution. Where does it say in the constitution that marriage is a fundamental right between a man and a woman or even hint that it is a major concern. Remember in the 1980's the repubs defeated the Equal rights Amendment which would have just enshrined a statement that women should be given all the equal rights of men. Maybey we didn't need that amendment because it had already happened, I don't really know and I don't care since that battle is lost. More importantly though when did the repubs give up on the idea of individual liberty? If you don't agree with it then don't do it. You used to always talk about smaller government, I guess what you all meant is that you wanted to make govt. just small enough to fit into ordinary Americans bedrooms. Gay people serve in the army, pay taxes, and work just like everyone else. Personally I don't give a damn what they want to do with eachother. God Save the U.S. from those that would limit the freedom of others and God Bless San Francisco.
