Are the Conservative going to shoot themselves in the foot over same-sex marriage?

[Saint Frankenstein]

Actually, as the recent news cycle has demonstrated, this isn't really a "main issue" among conservatives (which I count myself among, though I am more internationally oriented than, let us say, a naive Boston liberal or a stuck in the swamp Baton Rouge conservative)...

I know the far left wants to pretend it is, as if the pretender to the throne of "we saved the homosexuals, now worship us and give us your money". First of all, homosexuals should avoid these leftists like the plague, and certainly do not get on the "liberal plantation" of dependency to them - do not do that mistake, inclusive of any rip off conservatives as well (every "bird" club has a few one wingers who flap one wing as say "see! I fanned you in the heat of the noon day sun, now you owe me your life forever" but don't have two wings and thus cannot fly)...

If there is any issue here among conservatives, it isn't the ruling as much as the undemocratic, unlibertarian way it was done. It isn't ONE ruling here, it is MANY rulings from the Court that really should be the role of representative government. Sure, there are some conservatives who have religious objections, but over all we see little, practically no, outrage. It isn't THE conservative "issue", this propaganda from the leftist media and the old legacy phony liberal news is expected, however, another false narrative from the left as part of a phony agenda.

The issues among conservatives are largely economic, anti-intrusive big government, the destruction of localized government, crime, and illegal aliens and of course Islamic terrorism.

Not this.

There is no "outrage". It is a lie that there is. But expected from the liars. You can always find someone who will say "burn the faggots". Among conservatives, liberals, fascists and communists. You will also find among the same someone who will say floridated water causes impotency. So?

Zzzzzzz... (snore)

What you're describing sounds more like libertarianism than conservatism. I mean, if you don't care about marriage, then what exactly are you "conserving"?

It seems that the Conservative Presidential Candidates have their panties so twisted that they can't help themselves but destroy their own political aspirations. It is known now that more than 50% of Americans approve of same-sex civil marriage, so how do they think ideas like "constitutional conventions" and/or civil disobedience to the Supreme Court ruling will help them get elected in a national election. It seems to me that they are unable to "deal" with reality in this way. And, every day that they waste time on this issue, they are losing the opportunity to win over the independent voters they will undeniably need.

Dunno, but I think it was Santorum who said he intends to make this a top tier issue in the primaries. So I suppose we get to look forward to 4 more years of a democratic POTUS. I hope it's Bernie myself.

I wish I could indulge in that dream, but even if he becomes the next president, it's still going to be him against the Republicans, pretty much as a whole, because he is a socialist, and he'll probably face heavy opposition from the Democrats because he is a socialist and not bought-and-paid-for by the mega corporations like most Democrats are.

I know. It'll be positively awe inspiring to watch. I have long range vision. Change has to start somewhere, and I'm patient enough to wait for a seed to take root.
