They all showed up to bash conservatives for wanting to keep DOMA because ‘DOMA’ violated the constitution. We knew the government in power would pull this crap instantly as soon as DOMA got canned. Now those same liberaltarians are gone.

Actually, many libertarians took the position the fedgov had no constitutional authority to sanction, subsidize or reward marriage. That would also mean all you big government welfare queens wouldn't get any special favors at the expense of single people, either.

And how’s that workin’ out for you now that the Obama administration has decided that two legs are good, but four legs are bad?

Again - they are wrong. The federal government has the power to regulate spousal visas. Not the states. By granting spousal visas - which I warned Obama would do the instant DOMA got shut down, Obama could attack every state’s laws.

Yet, I haven’t heard a peep from the same ‘liberaltarians’ who were opposed to DOMA apparently aren’t opposed to gay spousal visas. Odd that. It’s almost like they support giving the shaft to social conservatives if it advances social liberalism.
