I don’t think Ronald Reagan would be celebrating gay marriage and bringing kids to pot festivals.
Dude, I’m not having that discussion again. Reagan was not in favor of gay marriage, I’m not in favor of gay marriage and most libertarians are not in favor of gay marriage.
The people in favor of gay marriage are the ones who want government to be involved.
Gay marriage was created by government.
Libertarians warned you about this, but you big government establishment types didn’t listen.
No, that generation was a little more straight laced than that. Even Lyn Nofziger said he didn't hang out with the Reagans because they didn't drink enough for his liking.
I agree, but the issue remains. Where do we draw the line at government intervention? Is oppressive government allowable, when it is used against those we disagree with? I don’t believe in gay marriage, but if the state of Vermont etc. wants to allow it, do we then use the power of the Fed to overturn it? The marriage license is issued by the state, and that is where it should remain. Saying that, I also believe that a more conservative state should have the right to not honor that marriage license. Therein lies the issue. The solution however is not more government intrusion.
