The marriage debate is similar to the illegal alien debate in one way: the reason the debate has any teeth at all is because the government hands out free stuff and tax benefits.

How was the FedGov involved in marriage before the 16th ammendment? Did anyone care about all the undocumented workers in the country in the 1920’s, when the government was not funding services?

Take the FedGov out of giving benefits (be they direct cash, services, or tax breaks) and the controversy evaporates.

The most ignorant blind post in months, you are clueless about America, and conservatism and even Christianity.
