The Gay Marriage issue is the wrong fight at the wrong time...

The first battle of the conservative agenda must be securing economic liberty; meaning serious tax reform, probable term limits and a much smaller government like our forefathers visioned.

NOTHING will change until DC and the bureaucrats have been effectively neutered.

Only when government has been eliminated from being able to fund through grants, every left wing group, can a real honest debate begin on moral issues.

Do not get sidetracked by one lost battle when their is a much larger war taking place.

The problem with this “fiscal conservative” thinking....is that most who claim to want “economic liberty”...support Free Trade deals like WTO, NAFTA, CAFTA, etc. All these groups surrender “economic liberty” since they take US soverignity and surrender it to larger, big government entities to rule on our economic policies. No longer can Americans determine their economic pursuits....they have to be run thru the WTO, NAFTA, even the UN....before they become implemented.

The gay marraige issue is important...because it devalues and destroys traditional marraige. What will be next: Marraige to pets, to feral animals, to vintage cars, marraige to children....the gay marraige issue is that “slipppery slope” that will lead to some really downright perversions

What good is any of that if we are living under a judicial dictatorship where the will of the people can be overturned? What good is that if the government can use the homosexual issue to strip away parental rights, freedom of speech and freedom of religion?

The Founders cared far more about assuring the Constitution guaranteed rights endowed by the Creator couldn't be taken away by government and that people had the right to self-government. The foundation our freedoms are based on is being eroded and that is far more important than high taxes and deficits.
