How about the new highway named for Clinton in his home stste of Arkansas? It's a little crooked, and has a long yellow streak down the center. Be careful if you drive on it, it's a little slick.

Manufacturers announced today that they will be stocking America's shelves this week with "Clinton Soup, to honor one of the nation's most distingushed men". It consists primariy of a weenie in hot water.

We are poised to lose the gay-marriage battle badly.

That battle was lost a long, long time ago--when you allowed the left to UNDERMINE the justifications for government sponsored marriage, by extending those justifications to gays as well.

What justifications?

Adoption is a big one.

The government was glad to extend that one, because with fewer orphans to worry about, the politicians can spend our money on things dearer to the hearts of politicians and their friends.

Polygamy . . . for all its ugly defects . . . .

Ugly defects?

(Quick glance upward at who wrote this article: a woman. I should have known.)

Hey gays, don't get married. Just find another fag you hate and buy him a house.

Very good article.

Makes me wonder how long it will be before people have kids then turn them over to the government to raise. I'm starting to think that social conservatives need a 'homeland' of their own.

...when a society abandons the marriage idea altogether as a shared public norm, do not expect private individuals to be able to sustain marriage.


Truer words were never written.

"What counts is not family structure, but the quality of dedication, commitment, self-sacrifice, and love in the household."

There is absolutely no defensible reason for giving tax and societal benefits to people because they have feelings for each other, or even because they bring each other to orgasm.

That is arbitrary discrimination against singles.

Either give the breaks to everyone OR come up with a good reason for why a single should pay more tax than persons A&B because they are copulating.

Sheesh.....give tax breaks to prostitutes. They do the same.

Marriage will become (as it is in Sweden) a religious rite, with little public or social significance.

GOOD

The entire problem is that the government has stuck it's nose into marriage in the first place.
The entire legal concept should be abolished.

Marriage is a religious matter, period.

All questions of property ownership, child support and other liabilities can be handled by slight modifications to business partnership laws. In fact, I see no reason why a family should not be able to incorporate instead of being a partnership.

At least polygamy, for all its ugly defects, is an
attempt to secure stable mother-father families for children.

Damn.  Stand up for marriage and the next thing you know,
we'll have people pushing for polygamy.  Where is Santorum
now?  </guffaws>
