But, then there is that whole morality thing?!? Those federal laws are OK, right? The role of the federal government, as outlined by the Constitution, leaves these matters at the state level. Desiring to leave the federal government out of the issue is not the same as accepting it.

I want the fedgov to stick to its Constitutionally mandated duties, and nothing else. BUT the fedgov has usurped powers belonging to the states and forced all manner of immorality (and tons of other socialist garbage) on the states in divers ways. Now states cannot even if they want to enact laws against fag this and fag that.

Homos in the miltary is not a states' right issue, the military is under the jurisdiction of the federal goverment. I think you know that.

I don't think our views differ. I've encountered very little from you on this forum that I can say I disagree with. I've stated emphatically that I disagree with the DADT repeal. Homosexuality is a depraved sin that has no place in this nation.

I also think that an out of control and overbearing federal government has no place suing states for any damn thing. If the state decides to create law affecting their citizens, that is between those citizens and their state representatives - the federal gov't needs to get the hell out. I am leary of allowing the federal government to legislate anything other than specifically outlined Constitutionally assigned items. Sure, we are way down that slippery slope, but I think we are screwed if we don't find our way back to the top and reign in the out of control beast.
