At no time did I say or imply that the Framers passed laws on the national level controlling marriage or church attendance. Take your outrage elsewhere. The only reason such a law has been proposed today is because the Federal oligarchy is ever-ready to roll over any state-passed laws such as DOMA.

I see. Because I expect limited government as found under the Constitution and don't agree with the passage of an Amendment based solely on moral concerns (the last one of those was overturned a scant generation later), I have 'outrage'. Because I don't buy into the ridiculous notion that morality has to be legislated at the national level for some inane reason, I have 'outrage'. Gotcha.

And for the record? I was just pointing out your inerrant comment that I did not understand the history of this nation of states. Because I do perfectly. I also understand the moral warriors that have plagued this nation time and again who are willing to destroy the intent of a Federal Republic to pass their laws. I have no problem with the principles of conservative morality and fully support them. What I will not support is further destruction to what's left of the Framers' intent to forward that agenda.
