Marriage is a religious sacarment, it is not the job of government to define it. Government should not be in the marrage business. Get rid of the progressive income tax and you get government out of the marriage business. Then you can get arried in your church and who cares if the sicko's in some sicko town get married in thier so called church. Just repell the 16th admentment and the whole problem goes away.

Your approach is very idealistic, and I have to disagree with you on the governments role in defining marriage.. marriage is a CONTRACT just like any other in this country, and if we open the door to allow a state to recognize a LEGAL marriage contract between two people of the same sex we cause the moral foundation of our constitution to weaken.. I am for a STRONG constitution... and this ammendement will prevent the liberals from weakening it..

Marriage is a religious sacarment, it is not the job of government to define it.

It is much, much more than a religious sacrament. It is the foundation of stable, traditional families that in turn support the entire edifice of this nation.

The government seeks to provide protection and incentives for the traditional family, without which this nation would collapse utterly within one generation. Many posters at FR who parrot your meaningless mind drivel get their ideas from the vicious, traditional family-hating atheist Ayn Rand. They have never thought through the implications of destroying the traditional family. It just cramps their hedonistic libertarian style so they spew.

But the protection can only be effective if the traditional family is maintained. Allow so-called gay marriage to dilute the mix (along with welfare state perverse incentives that reward unmarried single mothers) and government's involvement becomes more destructive than protective.
