All social issues are "political". You're just playing word games. This is a Conservative forum.....and not the place to push your homosexual agenda.

That's where I'd disagree with you.

To me, it's a matter of the proper role of govt. There are things the govt should not be empowered to regulate. Small govt, and all that. Marriage, to me, is one of those. I don't care if you "marry" your goat. As long as I'm free to avoid associating with you.

Y'see, I could now retort by calling you a political 'liberal', cuz you support govt intrusion into private matters.

But I would be wrong in doing so.

I believe in the contract with America. We have a common goal (assuming you, too, believe in the contract). We can agree on many 'conservative' political policies. Like the war on terror, opposing gun control, freedom of religion, etc.

I think we should get together on the things we agree on, while earnestly debating the things we disagree on. Name-calling just isn't productive.
