Goddamn. Rand, what a moron.

Why are we capitulating on one of our most important issues?

Cross him off the list for 2016. He coulda been a contender.

I'm not going to say I'm supporting Rand. I'd have supported his father over a Dem, but that was about it. As I see it the Fed support marriage in two ways- 1) via the tax benefit if only one spouse works 2) the second way is SS spousal benefits.

I'm sick of hearing about homosexuals and all their supposed discrimination that they can't marry. Do I believe that two people of the same gender living together as husband and wife put their souls in immortal peril? Yes. Do I think they should have the right to do that in a free country? Yes. Do I think the government should call them married? No. Do I care if the government thinks my wife and I are married? No. Do I care if the Lord pours out blessings on my wife and me in the beautiful sacrament of marriage? Yes. That was why we married in a church. I don't really understand why CHristians care if our decidedly unGodly government should get out of the marriage business.

Perhaps you can help me see the capitulation here JC?

The concept of marriage licences is a liberal idea designed to give the state(and thus them) some lever of control over our marriages.

That control is now being abused so why not just wipe it out? Return marriage to the exclusive province of the church & God where it has belonged for many thousands of years prior to the “progressive era”.

I see no capitulation here, On the contrary. I see only jumping to the logical conclusion to cut off the left.
