Does the government have a right to tell you what you can do with your property?
Does the government have a right to tell you when you can drink alcoholic beverages?
Does the government have a right declaring some drugs illegal?
Does the government have a right to tell us we have to buy healthcare?
Does the government have a right to tell us who we can hire?
Come on, the same groups screaming that the government does not have a right to tell them they cannot get married are the first ones to try to use the government to enforce their agenda.
Not to veer off on a tangent, but what are your thoughts about abortion?
I sense a lot of "I support liberty", here.
But very little thought as to where this support will take us as a society.
Let's think about this for a minute, with just a small example.
Six "consenting" adults enter into a multiple partner marriage.
Children come into the marriage.
These six adults get a divorce.
How will you divide up the visitation and custodial rights?
As I said, this way leads to madness.
