I'm not real interested in getting into an argument with you about
the merits of gay marriage right now.
Of course not — your arguments against it sound silly even to you.
"It creeps me out" or "Jesus said it was naughty" doesn't really cut it
when you want to oppress 20 million people, does it?
But you have proven my point
nicely. Liberals are afraid that the majority of americans won't go
along with their public policy agendas, so they try to force them
through the courts under the guise of imaginary constitutional rights.
Well, unlike conservatives, progressives are forward thinking
instead of backward thinking. Have you ever had that annoying friend
that just wouldn't leave the bar even though it was time to stop
drinking? Well, conservatives are that guy and progressives sometimes
have to hit them over the head with a bottle and drag their ass home.
You can't help yourselves, and we understand that.
Well, I'm sorry to disapoint you, but the constitution is silent on
marriage. You do not have a constitutional right to marry anyone.
Neither do you. I've always been down with completely removing
marriage benefits from federal laws completely and replacing them with
completely open civil unions. You down with that? Cause if so we should
write a letter to President Obama in January.
