Bingo, he’s essentially a Nanny-Statist when it comes to what he believes. If everyone in a particular community want to have gay marraige, fine. I won’t live there and as long as the rest of the country isn’t forced to recognize it then they’ll all stay put. Thompson’s view of the issue is more in line with our constitutional republican founding. If today the Fed can say what’s moral for the entire country then the Fed will forever set the moral guidance and I for one don’t trust the tapeworms in DC to make good decisions regarding morality. They’ll end up using it as another excuse to consolidate power and we’ll lose that much more liberty in how we raise our families. Dobson’s dream would hurt the family in the long run rather than strengthen it.

"If everyone in a particular community want to have gay marraige, fine. I won’t live there and as long as the rest of the country isn’t forced to recognize it then they’ll all stay put." That is what I believe and believe it strongly. Thompson has said that he would like the full faith and credit eliminated where marriage is concerned. Most states have already taken care of this issue after Massachuesets legalized gay marriage. That is the way it is supposed to work in this country. People can decide the issue at the state and local level. We have enough of Washington D.C. politicians sticking their noses where it was never meant to be placed. There are far too many issues that should be left to the states and are not...abortion, homosexual marriage, drink age, etc. The way things are going now, the state governments will be nothing but window dressing and all decisions will be made in the beltway.
