Well, I never made any of those particular assertions, but in spite of your attempt to say what I think, I will address your concerns.

There is no Constitutional authorization for the Federal Government to regulate what any adult willingly consumes, be that a ribeye, a beer, or amphetamine. If there had been, alcohol Prohibition would not have required a Constitutional Amendment, but could have been accomplished with a simple law. Being popular doesn't make being wrong right.

There is no right to incest, and it is prohibited by State Laws.

Marriage is a matter for the Church--it is a sacrament. No church I set foot in allows any right for homosexuals to attempt to legitimize their abomination with a piece of church-issued paper.

That said, the Government has no business determining Church doctrine. (First Amendment), and should not be in the 'business' of "marriage", either, beyond establishing an age at which a person is considered old enough to enter into such binding agreements.

I believe "Provide for the Common Defense" is a Constitutionally mandated duty of the Federal Government. Perhaps instead of snooping around the back yard looking for moist filled in low spots (filled in "wetlands"), checking to see how much water my toilet uses per flush, or mandating the type of light bulbs I use, the Federal Government would better spend its time doing the things it is supposed to do.
