"FTT: where did I write "stopping gays from getting married is more important than...everything"?"
But that's how it's treated. There is a large swath of this country that only vote based one or two issues. Usually those two.
"Interracial marraige has absolutely nothing to do with same sex marriage."
Oh, but they do. The same excuses about "tradition" were used against it then as they are used now to justify opposition to same sex marriage.
"Amendments to the Constitution have a high hurdle to overcome, so why all the comnplaining?"
Becuase you think it's okay to just treat the constitution like some kind of grocery list you can just add stuff to everytime you don't like something. This is dangerous no matter who is doing it. Conservatives, liberals, republicans, democrats, it doesn't matter. Are we going to go running to it everytime some new fad issue comes along or everytime some politician wants to get re-elected? Because that is how it is being treated now.
As for abortion, I am personally uncomfortable with late term abortion, but I also don't see abortion in general as black and white. This is the problem I have with conservatives, they want to simplify everything and throw the whole concept of nuance out the window. I also don't think building your entire vote around this one issue or gay marraige as being the best way to convince people. I gotta be honest when I say that from the other side it makes you guys look crazy and obsessed.
On a personal note, you have the same name as my grandfather. I'm not sure why that matters but it does seem odd.
