Not defending Beck here at all. In fact the article is not truly representative of what he said anyway.
Beck’s point is just one simple point.
Why is the government involved in marriage AT ALL? He is absolutely right about this.
Beck was not a supporter of Romney during the primaries at all Jim. Beck got behind Romney for one reason - at least he isn’t a communist.
If you don’t listen to Beck regularly don’t claim you know where he stands.
If you really beleive this wasn't just a ruse you are wrong.
We have points we can agree on. The federal government should not be involved in the marriage issue at all. But it IS the feds who are ultimately pushing this homosexual agenda crap down our throats and so we must resist it at the federal level.
We therefore fully support the pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-religious and economic freedom planks in the GOP platform and we demand that our representatives and our candidates defend them to the hilt!! We reject those who cannot or will not.
I personally listened to Beck go through the list of candidates during the primaries and reject each and every one... until he got to Romney. Romney was the only Republican candidate who in his eyes was a qualified candidate for the presidency. Have no idea why, because Romney was definitely not a conservative. Never has been, never will be.

I used to listen to him fairly regularly. Up until recently, I had an email from Pat Gray in my box, vigorously defending Romney and saying he would make a much better president than Newt Gingrich.
That email was sent to me during the primaries, when Beck was supposedly veering from Bachmann to Santorum and back again.
