Micromanagement? Only if you’re stupid enough to swallow the liberal lies.

What these conservatives are trying to do is offset the micromanagement that is no-fault divorce and the damages it has done to our country.

[gdani]

No, It’s LIBERALS that screw up..... We need to get LIBERALS out of the marriage business.

Yes, because using the power of the government to demand that two people who do not like each other stay together is the very definition of small, limited government. Great for the kids, too.

But, based on your drug war posts, we already know you do not favor small government. You merely want government enforcing your own worldview.

[ksen]

So much for a belief in small government.

[RIghtwardHo]

Utter idiocy. The sate is going to FORCE people to stay married????? Insanity.

Someone wrote, and I agree, this is a Church issue. NOT Government issue.

[ksen]

There must be laws to promote marriages between a man and a woman.

Right, because without laws men and women would stop getting married.

But hey, thanks for proving that conservatives are just as much for intrusive government as the < scarequote>liberals< /scarequote> are.

[rudabaga]

Then the government should get out of the marriage business entirely. If they promote it with tax and benefit incentives then they can regulate it. I wouldn’t mind if they got out of it altogether.

[microgood]

Marriage is the backbone to any great society. There must be laws to promote marriages between a man and a woman. And laws which punish those who seek to destroy marriage and society.

Individual freedom is more important than "society" and is the core of what this nation was founded on.

When people try to justify laws in the name of "society", this usually means they are trying to cram their belief system down your throat at the point of a gun. In this sense there is no difference between liberals and neocons.

Both parents would have to agree<> to the divorce itself.

Sure, because an abusive spouse would of course go along with a divorce request from the abused spouse.

Way to bring your pro-drug views into play here.

Lets see... You are pro-drug, anti-family and God knows what else.

Care to elaborate on your pro-queer marriage ideas? Or how about you argue for queers in the military?

Better yet... Take this to the DUmp.

Liberals know that tearing down marriage only serves the State.

Liberals know that tearing down marriage only serves the Democrat party.

That “someone” was schooled in post 11, 12, 20, and other replies. Read ‘em and try to understand:

Marriage is essential to the success of a nation.

Ronaldo Maximus claimed the no fault divorce law was his greatest mistake. He went through a horrid separation and divorce from his first wife, Jane Wyman.

[gdani]

Better yet... Take this to the DUmp.

Blah, blah, blah. When you run out of ideas & arguments call the other person a liberal. *yawn*

I'm for small government. I think you're the one who would feel more welcome over at DU. Then you can all discuss how you want Government to solve all your problems.

Really? Do you understand you are getting your wish? And as the government destroys marriage, it is being replaced by the Welfare State.

Be careful what you wish for.

[Responsibility2nd]

Holy Carp.

Last time I looked Jim Robinson made it clear this is a pro-God, pro-family site.

Since you disagree with these laws protecting marriage, suppose you enthrall us with how wonderful the Welfare State is. Cause you should damn well know that your atacks on marriage and the family only lead us to believe you favor the liberal position.

[chesley]

But that would be a fault divorce, and the abused man could get out.

I'm talking when one person wants out and the other spouse is not at fault, she would have to get him to agree, possibly by great concessions on the financial or custody side.

[rudabaga]

The government can’t destroy marriage unless they ban church and religion.
