To those who object to returning marriage to the private sphere: if you concerns are so valid, why have you been so silent as the rate of illegitimacy among black children now is in excess of 70%? Where were you when communes allowed people to produce feral children?
We don’t worry a bit today that black babies who are born to a single mother will lack for rights of inheritance or medical direction.
The complaints just prove to me that too many social conservatives love big government. I pray that they begin to see that big government is now hostile to the very values they seek to preserve. In fact they want to use government just like liberals do— to impose values on citizens. Let conservatives eschew using government as a proxy for religion.

Huh? No conservative I know has been silent on these topics; we have been objecting to these every day.
I don’t believe it is the responsibility of the government to care for the poor and disabled, it is the job of the Church.
What do you mean “returning marriage to the private sphere”?
What American history are you talking about?
