The sanctity of marriage?

Wouldn't it make more sense for those self-appointed arbiters of marriage sanctity to attack the beasts of their own persuasion before attacking those that do not view the world the same way that they do? Rather than spending inordinate amounts of time defining marriage, perhaps spend some time supporting those that already agree. What makes more of a travesty than those who divorce, particularly serial divorcers (Newt Gingrich and Donald Trump, I'm looking at you)? Next look at co-habiters, who flaunt the idea of marriage.

Only after you're done with them should you move to the gay community. After all, the gays disagree on so many levels, why limit the battle to simply marriage?

Smaller government

I truly understand the calls for smaller government, but people, corporations, and industries have proven time and again that without regulation they destroy the environment around them for their own benefit.

Government provides the role of regulator and watchdog. That is what they do - define rules and regulations in the greater common interest. I believe it would be impossible in the current climate to develop such projects as a national highway system.

I weep at the current "me first" political climate.
