A Minor Point About the Bush Administration

Now the gentlewoman from Illinois, made a comment about gay marriage and abortion under the Bush administration. I have seen these stats other places as well, and am convinced that these are hailed as talking points by the Democratic Party. But let me point out. STATES are legalizing gay marriage. One of the founding principals of the republican party is the concept of STATES RIGHTS. Therefore by not pushing for a constitutional admendment banning gay marriage Bush is adhering to his Republican roots.

I AM interested to note that Republicans are allowed a moral lapse, so long as it adheres to "State's Rights" - which is correctly characterized as a long held bastion of Republican governance policy.

The flaw in that logic (the logic being that a "state's rights" policy allows gay marriage, thus a republican president is not to blame for it happening), is that it suggests that Party Policy is exempted from moral responsibility.

I dont have a problem with the argument, but since it's the argument being made: doesnt it also apply to Democratic Policy?

Who Says All Californians Support Gay Marriage?

So, I'm recently back from a vacation in San Diego (more on that later), and while we were there, lo and behold look what we ran across!

It was incredibly cool to see that not all Californians are on the Pro-Gay Marriage bandwagon, and I was suitably impressed.  We honked, and the great tragedy is that for awhile, we were the only ones honking - so we drove back by several times (actually, we had to go into that Walgreens), and after we started honking, others started honking too.  But I have to say - for as crowded as that intersection was, it was far too few honks.  We surmised from the later scattered honks that it must mean that a lot of people in California dont agree with Gay Marriage (or homosexuality period), but are on lock-down - completely terrified to disagree with it openly.
