So, you don't think the sanctity of marriage is a major issue?
No matter how bad it gets, we can always close the border.
If 2nd Amendment rights are violated, they can be restored.
"States rights" don't even exist. PEOPLE have rights, states have enumerated powers, there IS a difference. However, as I demonstrated earlier, marriage IS a federal issue due to the the Full Faith and Credit Clause and the 14th Amendment.
Taxes have always gone up and down, as has employment, to think that anything done on these is ever permanent is naive.
Marriage, on the other hand, is something that CANNOT be undone in any reasonable manner once it's changed. Once the genie is out of the bottle it will be almost impossible to put back in.
So, it seems that you consider issues that are largely cyclical to be major, but you consider the destruction of a 6000 year old institution to be unimportant.
That said, I think it shouldn't be call marriage. It should be civil unions..not marriage.
Legal unions between individuals have ALWAYS existed; they are referred to, among other things, as partnerships and corporations.
I agree with you on marriage. Marriage is between a male and female.
This sounds like the pro-same-sex "marriage" version of, "I'm personally opposed, but..."
Civil Unions? Sheesh, we lost that battle years ago. And because the libs were willing to cave on that issue - the queers pushed their agenda further. Now we fight Civil Marriages. And because the libertarians are caving there also, we now see evern more perversions on the horizon.
Read my last reply. I know people hate my views on this. It is a view my parents gave me, not to judge anyone.
