Good article... Very interesting.
I think the guy is right: As a party, Republicans HAVE to find some way to deal with this... we’re losing the argument... especially with young people.
They don’t care about the religious aspect. And, we’ve not effectively answered the question “how does two gay people getting married affect me??” Yes... this is the ME generation.
Everyone’s insurance and pension cost will go up. And, as more and more people start to abuse the system, just to get benefits, we might ALL lose such benefits.
But, THAT argument doesn’t win either. About the best I’ve been able to come up with is:
Get GOVERNMENT OUT OF THE MARRIAGE business...
Leave that to churches... Change the name of all government recognition to Civil Unions. Then, I don’t care so much what the hell they do. We can argue it on economic terms... or equal treatment... blah blah.. I don’t care.
Just don’t force me to accept immoral behavoir as being equal to a GOD DEFINED “Marriage”.
we have not lost the argument. conservatives NEVER PARTICIPATED.
instead we allowed relisous zelots to inject religion into the debate and surrendered the logic and reason to the deviants.
logically two adults can enter into a cohabitation agreement
logically one male and one female are mother and father.
logically society rewards the institution not the recreational mating behavior
logically homosexual conduct provides no benefit or utility to the furtherance of society.
logically.
logically mccain screwed the voters when he allowed the joke of a flag burning amendment to be tacked onto the one man one woman is marriage constitutional amendment.
