If you supported Congressman Bob Barr on the Clinton impeachment (my own feelings were mixed), then why not do a little deeper thinking about gay marriage? Read:
Make no mistake, I do not support same-sex marriages. But I also am a firm believer that the Constitution is no place for forcing social policies on states, especially in this case, where states must have the latitude to do as their citizens see fit.
No less a leftist radical than Vice President Dick Cheney recognized this when he publicly said, “The fact of the matter is we live in a free society, and freedom means freedom for everybody. . . . And I think that means that people should be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want to enter into. It’s really no one else’s business in terms of trying to regulate or prohibit behavior in that regard. . . . I think different states are likely to come to different conclusions, and that’s appropriate. I don’t think there should necessarily be a federal policy in this area.”
It will happen in our lifetimes, Dave.
