“It’s the gays who want the state to define marriage to be between a man and another man”

At the founding of America, did marriage require government licenses? I personally believe it’s time for government to come under extreme scrutiny. Every act they now perform should be harshly examined to see if it is the legitimate function of ANY government. Although i agree with their morals, it’s sad to see so many “conservatives” thrilled with government in every corner of our lives, as long as they are in charge.

Agree with that.  Every statute - existing and future - should be subject to sunset and review.
 
Only those consistent with the specified purpose for American governance should be kept.

That’s a steaming pile of BS.

When your Ron Paul-inspired claptrap about marriage is mentioned in mixed company, in other words, where radical gay activists are present, they stand up and cheer. I’ve seen it. They know they’ve won if that’s public policy. They’ve destroyed the institution of marriage.

And if you divide this country over something so morally fundamental as marriage, you’ve done tremendous damage to the UNITED States of America.

Like most who have [obviously] been influenced by Libertarian cant, you can’t discern the difference between lawful power exercised in defense of natural RIGHT and power exercised against the people’s natural rights. It’s sad.
