That's what I said -- advance conservatism; get the government out of its entanglements with everything under the sun.
I realize that you and your libertarian ilk are prey to some sort of alternate history, but the FACT remains that governments have been involved in licensing marriages since medieval times. It is a historical and traditional function of government, especially those governments that have their roots in English Common Law.
Now, libertarians love to say that we should just get the government out of marriages, but this is often because they don't want to admit that they favor homosexual marriage.
In no way does your proposal "advance conservatism," all it does is further the destruction of America.
It’s government “entanglements” in the form of judges with the occasional legislature forcing faggot “marriage” on people who, time after time, prove that they do not want it.
Polls are invariably inaccurate. I used to get Zogby polls emailed to me, and they got worse and worse. There was no way on earth to answer truthfully. And many are worse than Zogby.
