That post didn’t make any sense, what did you say that will help conservatives actually save marriage law and defeat the democrats and libertarians on the issue?
For instance reverse Obama’s marriage changes at the federal level?
Pretty much since Buckley died, unfortunately. It's been Democrat Lite or RINO ever since.
You’ve done wonderfully, lj. I don’t know what we would have done without you!
Yes.
There's just a lot of confusion about 1) what our rights and freedoms are (they are not granted nor necessarily spelled out by any government) & 2) who enforces those right and freedoms (not the feds except by individual cases in federal court).
So I'm saying marriage is certainly a right. So is doing back-flips. But these days, things have become so convoluted that when you say something is a right, many people and certainly the federal government, think you've just expanded their power to interfere with ("enforce") that right. I get that feeling from reading this article.
Obama changed marriage policy at the federal level, politically we can reverse him with a conservative president.
We do that on abortion, Obama also reversed policy on abortion at the federal level.
Better yet, don’t marry perverts, monitor them, especially queers with access to children.
The government outlawed the practices of polygamy and homosexuality, much as it now outlaws bestiality. A subtle difference from defining legal marriage, but a difference just the same; and a difference that, if enforced, would prevent private polygamy and homo-marriage agreements.
Separate from that, I have been of a mind that the rationale used by these robed clowns, to find a right for homos to marry, is equal protection found in the constitution. Do you know if my thought on that are in fact correct? I haven't studied the various decisions, but cant think of any other basis for striking down laws that prohibit homosexual marriage, polygamy, etc.
I would never take the advice or accept the opinion of someone who has already thrown in the towel.
What is most bizarre is that they don't even try to hide it. It's an us vs. them mindset.
"Us libertarians are right - you conservatives are wrong"
Evidently the constitution does allow the government to decide on marriage issues for itself, since the Congress was passing laws regarding marriage, from the beginning.
“Gay Church of Christ” Unfortunately, I think a rogue sect of the COC already performs that atrocity, along with rogue Episcopalian sects-if I had belonged to either church, I’d have left over that...
That’s how it was handled by the Pilgrims in Plimoth/Plymouth. They believed marriage had nothing to do with religion and shouldn’t be connected with a church. Marriage was strictly a legal contract.
These are the same people who were running around 160 years ago saying that slavery was the "law of the land" and everyone should just accept it.
I think you aren't reading it.
Law isn't the arena wherein the issue of marriage needs addressed; your post indicates that you are thinking purely and strictly in terms of law and politics.
(Besides that, your political portion shows a laughable nativity: that the Republican goal is at all different from the Democrat. Everything on the Republican party platform is a lie: they have no intention of pushing for any plank.)
Only the people who want their marriage recognized by law, comply with the laws, nobody forces you to do that, and in fact many Americans do have their own private marriages, without com[plying with law.
If you don't care if it is recognized by the government, then don't, do what you want.
Perhaps you’re thinking of the United Church of Christ. A demonination such as Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity United COC.
No “Church of Christ” fits the definition you mention.

*cough, cough* — What?
Defending LBJ a LIBERTARIAN talking point?
Yes.
