Leave it to the New York Slimes to interview Patti Davis in their efforts to promote gay marriage. The hidden inference that the Slimes is getting at here is that President Reagan might have had no objection to it.

As we all know, Patti Davis didn't agree with her father on a lot of things, so this interview is meaningless in so far as it tries to go to the question of what would Ronald Reagan think.

I wonder what made Michael Reagan different from his siblings...

See here:

http://www.christianpost.com/news/michael-reagan-tells-piers-morgan-churches-needs-to-stand-up-for-marriage-93262/

Michael Reagan, the son of the-late President Ronald Reagan, defended his support for traditional marriage on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Live” Wednesday, but also rescinded his crass remark that same-sex marriage might possibly lead to the acceptability of murder.

Morgan was critical of Reagan’s March 28 op-ed titled, “It’s time for churches to fight back,” in which he suggests that if the U.S. Supreme Court rules that same-sex marriage is legal in all 50 states, there will be a dramatic cultural shift in the country.

Reagan wrote that legalizing same-sex marriage “inevitably will lead to teaching our public school kids that gay marriage is a perfectly fine alternative and no different than traditional marriage. There is also a very slippery slope leading to other alternative relationships and the unconstitutionality of any law based on morality. Think about polygamy, bestiality, and perhaps even murder.”

The conservative author and radio host and son of former President Ronald Reagan, told Morgan he retracts the word murder, because people told him that comment went too far, but he stands behind his message that Christian and Jewish leaders must take a stand and defend traditional marriage en masse in public and on television.
Morgan, who’s Catholic, said he understands the religious argument against same-sex marriage, but added that he believes it’s the same argument that was used to prohibit interracial marriage. He then noted the 1967 Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia in which the court ruled that states’ laws prohibiting interracial marriage were unconstitutional.

In Reagan’s opinion, the two issues are not comparable. He said the laws that prohibited interracial marriage were wrong, which is why he stands by God’s laws.

We can’t know what Reagan’s views would be, but Patti’s views would be a slam dunk for that reporter.
