The important question to anyone who cares about our republican, national/federal form of government is WHO should decide the question of gay marriage.

Hopefully we can agree as conservatives that the SCOTUS should not decide whether or not to allow gay marriage, as a national policy.

So what then? I believe it should be a state issue, and Dennis Miller should be free to live in a state that sanctions such marriages. Vote with your feet, as RR used to say.

There ought to be some form of protection for states who do not wish to honor such marriages, but there should NOT be a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. It has absolutely nothing to do with Federal/National responsibilities. The only relevant question for the Feds is how to allow for some states pro-, some states con.

I have to agree with 'voting with your feet'. I finally did.

What always bothered me when I was a Californian was that I'd wake up every day to a new left wing-orchestrated insult, but never bothered to move to a free state.

Those trapped behind enemy lines really ought to consider moving somewhere more in line with their belief system. The old adage about lighting a candle rather than cursing the darkness applies here.

Most likely, the founding fathers would have banned it had they thought something so pernicious would become popular. Slavery wasn’t allowed to exist on a state by state basis. Gay marriage, if allowed, will be as cancerous to our society as was slavery.
