Robert Bork, whose conservative credentials are unimpeacheable, has said a national rule is necessary. If we want to protect marriage, there's no other way than through a uniform rule to that effect. Either traditional marriage is secured in our Constitution and laws or gay marriage will be. In any event, the gay lobby is not interested in a live and let live approach - they want to force every state to fall in line no matter how much the people and their elected representatives might be opposed.
Thus my sarcasm with my statement.
Until black and white common sense is returned to government, direction for our country will be lost.
Anyone can make an issue out of anything,(as it has been shown in the recent past) twist it to their agenda, create a slippery slope, and be content with what they have achieved, however without a central focus, say a national doctrine and firm basis of it, a nation wide conviction toward it, then we have no national reason.
Isn't this the purpose of the constitution of our country in the first place?
Sorry for my babble, however I see a focus by some to try and remove cornerstone elements which has been the reason for all to want to strive to be a part of our system.
