It’s a common sense agenda. ANYTHING the government regulates is going to be torn down and bastardized to appease disparate voting blocks.
Unless you fear the government being out of the marriage license business and enacting civil unions is going to turn YOU queer, why would you give a crap about it? It’s going to come anyway barring a societal collapse that weeds out the droves of hedonistic parasites infesting the country.
Conservatives need to accept the fact that unless there is a huge sea change in American society (probably with a lot of crying and screaming) there are a LOT of issues that are just not going to get resolved in our favor. This is one of them that at least the God fearing can still structure themselves around correctly while the associated bureaucratic institution craters upon itself catering to spiritual meaninglessness.
Great. Another lib telling us conservatives what we're doing wrong and what we need to accept.
Look. While we might have to accept it, we will not - like libertarians - eagerly accept and endorse it.
