[C. Edmund Wright]

You may be right to a degree, but I think it’s one of exhaustion — you can’t die on every hill and fight every battle - and the left is attacking everywhere. I think some folks have just said “let them have their fag marriage - they won’t like it anyway because these are not committment type folks” — and just given up on fighting the issue.

Not saying that’s right, just a guess as to why this is - as Barone says - one of the very few times where we’ve “moved left.” I think its just battle fatigue.

I think Vaquero is right.....people are DUMBER! Wonder how many people REALLY know what being gay is?

Battle fatigue?
Where was the fight? I don't remember conservatives making a big deal of this after 1996 or so. The gay left runs the media and the schools, and we gave them our children. We watch their agitprop and reward advertisers funding said propaganda. Outside of some religious institutions, no one fought against homosexuality as deviant, unsafe, and bad for society. We all but surrendered for 15 years. And after a generation of propaganda, the weak minded have fallen and become corrupted. And it is our fault. We did not fight the morality war on homosexuality, or the deeper social and political rot that comes from the belief in unrestrained equality.

Of course, it's not a fare fight. Limp spined and limp-wrist loving Barone thinks that New York lawfully passed gay marriage, we did not. It was passed illegally under special rules without debate. And it pased because 4 Republicans lied to their constituents and sold out. There was no referendum. We the peons cannot vote. And our elected leaders care not a wit for our opinion. And that starts with the liberals running the GOP in NY, the same liberals that Barone loves. The sad part is National Review running this garbage.
