Of course, the Clintons and Obama were at one time against same-sex marriage. That was the default position in America. It wasn't even controversial for a couple centuries.
I have an observation which is, of course, no shock to those of us here at FR, but still ...

The basic psychology of the Left is consistent over many, many years. It always ends in an attempt at mass murder.
Well said.
As to the extremist remarks by Hirono and Harris I say they are the extremists for advocating the murder human beings and promoting perversity.
This is the permanent Communist position on everything, except that when actually in power "ostracized" becomes "killed."

Political scientists sometimes distinguish between normal politics and regime politics. Normal politics takes place within a political and constitutional order and concerns means, not ends. In other words, the ends or principles are agreed upon; debate is simply over means.By contrast, regime politics is about who rules and for what ends or principles. It questions the nature of the political system itself. Who has rights? Who gets to vote? What do we honor or revere together as a people? Source: imprimis.hillsdale.edu
