"But I don't care what Massachusetts does. And unless you live there, neither should you. To want the central government to cover our religious beliefs for us and make everyone believe is against our federalist government and is quite radical."
nice turn around. The federal government is extremely abusive in its use of power. It should not be involved with marriage. Unfortunately the radicals have found loopholes in the constitution and are using one of those to try and force legalized marriage nationwide.
And yes you are radical although you pretend otherwise.
I agree completely with the exception of the Defense of Marriage Act.

Don't believe that. They have completely failed in every attempt. Every federal court that has looked at it concludes that states have compelling interests in maintaining traditional marriage between a man and a woman to promote procreation. The Ninth Circuit has ruled similarly. There is no chance that any circuit court will change that, and even less than no chance the USSC would concur. Lots of people want gay marriage, and if they want to do that in their state, fine.

Given the history of the Radical Republicans in the 1860s, I'll take that as a complement.
