Government has already destroyed marriage and the family unit. Or haven't you noticed?

I've noticed that Left-wing actions via government have damaged marriage, yes. But it isn't in my nature to surrender. You can do as you please, but don't expect us to follow.

Stripping the primary family unit of any legal protections would guarantee the end of our society as we know it. Look to the Democratic National Convention coming soon in Boston (or a "Gay Pride" parade) for a concrete look at the society that would rise in its place. -FormerLib

Many traditionalists just want out. Fatalism is weakening our side. It is much wiser to fight the good fight. The ordinary governmental protections are still necessary and still working for what they are intended to do. It is important to stop gay marriage, but please don't go rhetorically nuclear.

Who are the folks who subscribe to radical egalitarianism to force all of civil society to recognize gay marriage as equal in every way to traditional marriage? Very few of them think of it as radical. Some are mainstream conservatives and/or civil liberties fanatics.
