I understand as a republican youre desperately trying to find some solid ground, as your ‘leaders’ keep shifting positions to the left
the reason is , you’ve allowed yourself to be baited into an argument whose premise requires govt control over the fundamental construct...ie: interpersonal relationships
if you’re actually for smaller govt, then you would never entertain the concept that govt would rule one way or the other over the matter. as an American, you would be expected to respect others beliefs...whether or not they align with yours.
homo marriage is a step in the longer game of the destruction of the Church. I believe the govt has no say in either things... as did the founders.
you, on the other hand, seem to want a govt that dictates the personal behavior of every individual and organization. your confusion lies in this fact. you see... you’re not a believer in smaller govt... or a republican govt... you’re a fascist who believes in ultimate govt control
that’s just a fact
Another pro-gay marriage freeper who labels opposition to it as "facist", although the founders would have lynched you for your views, while I merely oppose you politically.
Well you don't understand that I am not a republican, and never have been, so you sure missed that.
The GOP has a long ways to go before it is as left as the libertarians though, since they are about as leftwing as it gets on social issues.
The founders, aside form complying with marriage law themselves for their own marriages, (Jefferson even dealt in marriage law as an attorney) also legislated on federal recognition of marriage when they passed the first widow pensions law in 1780 and enlarged in in 1794 and 1798, and 1802, so you just keep making things up.
