The Pendragon's Hall

The battle over gay marriage grows dangerously hot and pseudo-conservatives tripe about the size and role of government. While anti-marriage liberals rant and rave and blast their immoral message across the media, we hear many self-proclaimed conservatives saying they don't support the Federal Marriage Amendment because they don't believe the government should dictate things like the sanctity of marriage. It sounds nice and pious and Democrats who claim some kind of Christianity take up the cry as well.

It is nice and it is pious and it is absolute bilgewater. The government's role is to do good and punish evil--not to take care of the elderly and supervise education. When evil is being done in this land, it is indeed government's job to fight it. For those who will counter some rubbish about Founding Fathers, I say, "Don't quote Jefferson to me!" Gay marriage would never have occurred to these men. The government of the US is made up of the people and the people's will is supposed to be represented, not every person's personal desires, but the general public will. That is not being represented by the opposition. So while listening to these conservatives spout their platitudes, treat it with the contempt it deserves. Support the Federal Marriage Amendment.
