“I want states to be allowed to have sodomy laws.”

I’m not sure I am against it. But live by the sword, die by the sword. I would definitely try to imagine how our modern culture will twist anything around if given enough time. 40 years ago “gay marriage” was unthinkable by the vast majority. Now the state enforces it in several states, and the trend seems to be for it, in general. In 40 years the homosexualists and statists could very well use the cohabitation laws against those who reject the state’s ever devolving spin on marriage.

“This whole “wanting the government to define marriage” is a crock of nonsense.”

Statists and homosexualists love that many are conditioned to think the state defines the institution of marriage, it provides tremendous control of the culture. Just like they love that the state defines and regulates charity and education for many.

“The enemy is the left and its special tool of pushing all manner of immorality as normal and natural.”

I agree, the left’s favourite tool is using the state to condition and punish. That’s just basic conservative thought, and can be found in the left’s own writings, such as how Marx says to use education.

“The enemy is not people who are trying to fight this.”

I doubt I have ever voted differently than you would have, including on the subject of “gay marriage”.

There is only one solution, two pronged.

1. The US fedgov must get pared back to Constitutional duties only.

2. The citizenry have to become a moral and religious people (in general) or no government will work. No system of government, no matter what it is, will work with a population which has a huge percentage of feral beastlike humans with no sense of religion based morality, which is the only place morality comes from. Of course, the voice of God within the heart is paramount, but godless immoral people cannot hear His voice. Unless they are sincerely seeking truth, then His voice can lead them closer to Him.

The founders knew our Constitutional form of government would never work with an immoral and godless population.
