- New York state wants to force you to pretend the same sex can marry each other. Most of you know I’m a libertarian so no Manhattan Declaration or Defense of Marriage Act to pick on homosexuals (who are only something like 3% of the population). But what about social conservatives’ rights? The answer to both the left and the so-cons is to get the state out of it. The state doesn’t have the power to define reality and gays et al. can live in peace. (No thought crime/‘hate crime’ – emotions are none of the state’s business – but enforcing existing do-no-harm laws against assault etc.) Kick marriage down to boring old contract law and make defining such relationships a matter for the couples and whatever religions they belong to. (I think Methodism’s wrong too but am not trying to ban it.)
- The left predictably make fun of Michele Bachmann. My take: another Sarah Palin. Meh to both and to the smartasses at Rolling Stone.
Catholic integralism is the true seamless garment.
Don't apologize for things you didn't do, to people who don't believe in forgiveness or redemption.
