We have to admit that both those on the right and those on the left look to the government to legislate morality.

Look at anti-gay marriage laws.

That isn’t from the left, it is from the right.

Is government the answer?

Actually, all anyone is attempting to legislate is “behavior”. To some extent government has to be a small part of the answer. However, obviously it is not the full answer. The mindset of people has to change, and that is outside of government.

Government may not be the answer, but we have to fight when something like this comes along. Politically correct people will roll over us if we don’t fight fire with fire.

I’m beginning to think that gubberment involvment in marriage was a tremendous mistake. I mean, is anybody shocked that gubberment eventually messed marriage up? It’s not like it’s got a stellar track record with any thing else.
