Yeah, I should have used "paleo-con"... It probably describes most of the Randroid/sociopathic knuckle-draggers a little better, but I got lazy...

Extremely or stubbornly conservative in political matters.
They do not support gay marriage or abortion on demand. They do believe in the right to own and carry guns, including handguns, and they are believers in capital punishment.
Paleoconservatives believe that man's power to create is limited and that it is necessary to lean on family, traditions, heritage, religious principles and classical learning in order to gain wisdom. They are extremely critical of some neoconservatives. So many in today's world do not incorporate the aforementioned principles and so they see them as pseudo-conservatists. They assume a position of anti-Federalism in that they are concerned with small, decentralized government and the sacredness of private property.
No one ever accused conservatives of going in a clockwise direction...

Anyone can cut and paste from Wikipedia, but it takes a true loon to post from a blog that's worse! Gooooood for YOU!! *Gold Star*
The gay marriage issue is contentious not just because of the subject itself, but because it exposes the ridiculous contradictions in what passes for political, social and moral debate in today’s society.
True but I have to say that this paragraph resonated
Put bluntly, a leftist's view of the world is one in which you freely engage in sex with your partner, while the house, the bed, and the birth control are all subsidized by the government -- or by yourself, if you happen to make $250,000 or more a year (in which case you'll be paying for others' homes, beds and birth control a well as your own). I'd hardly call this liberty.
because why is it okay to subsidize education, housing, and birth control if all it serves is to make us all more indebted and subservient? I understand that the intentions are to give us a boost so we can better ourselves, but I'm having trouble seeing that it's not leading to more entitlement which I think is a more insidious problem than whether two gays can marry.
