"Anyone anticipating a conciliatory second Bush term should stop."

This is the only true line in the article (though I admit, I only skimmed it).

It wasn't about the war on terror for the Bush base. It was about the war on gay unions. Oh, the ironies.

These fools still don't get it and probably never will. The gay marriage bans aren't "war on homosectionals" as much as they're for protecting families. Gays can go and bugger themselves silly and no one will flog them or throw them in jail or burn them at the stake. The government will ignore them and leave them to their own devices.

The issue is that now they want the government to endorse their relationships and give them the same benefits as are granted to married couples in the name of fairness and equality.

Gay unions are not the equal of heterosexual marriages. Hetero marriages produce offspring and society has an interest in the welfare of strong family units.

Gay unions are by definition self centered. If they want to do that, they can do it and no one will interfere. But expecting society to endorse their behavior with tax breaks and other privioedges is asking too much. Without a doubt, moral issues trumped national security in this election.
