Libertarian ... ???

I worked long and hard starting in the 1970's to undo the "marriage tax". Tell me sincerely such a tax will not again be possible under the proposed marriage amendment. Also tell me how my position against the "marriage tax" fits you libertarian label.

The same-sex proponents repeatedly cite "same benefits" when hashing over the issue, and they specifically mean government benefits more than any other.

I'm posting to this thread mostly out of frustration.

You argue ideology against what is a rationally based institution... The same argument could be used against any number of socially agreed upon mandates e.g. public funding of public education or foster care of children.

Government is simply carrying out the wishes of society. In reality you argue against society and for anarchy and as such will remain frustrated as long as you are an unwilling member of a society you disagree with...

In the world of the liberal media, there is no distinction between the judicial and legislative branches. If a particular outcome is deemed desirable, a court should so rule - the law and constitution in question be damned.

How true...

You are quite correct in this observation -[they] are seeking a handout, their piece of the pie...

I'm of the view the courts should be confined to carrying out the laws. If people feel a law is wrong, they can elect new officials to either rewrite it or throw it out. But the courts have no business substituting their judgment for that of the elected representatives of the people.

(The Palestinian terrorist regime is the crisis and Israel's fist is the answer.)

----- And the reason the very same is happening in the USA is also gay marriage? Oh wait...

How do you see "no fault" divorce as contributing? ------


So the destruction of marriage IS the basis of my argument and you agree with it?

No fault divorce is yet another means for destroying the value of marriage. It tells people they don't have to stick through difficult times, just take the kids and half the money and go.
