It would be funny if it weren't so incredibly harmful... but Rick Santorum is NOT a conservative. He is a big-government Evangelical. He's literally running to be Pastor-in-Chief. He all but comes out and says it. Actions speak louder than words.

See, I'm a very conservative person. Pro-life, anti gun control, pro traditional marriage, etc. And being of that conservative philosophy is something that about half of all Americans share, possibly more. But the DIFFERENCE between Santorum and myself is that I don't believe in pushing my beliefs and values onto other people through force and intimidation...which is all a government can do. Government has nothing, and so it can give nothing. All it can do is take from some something from someone else through force and give it others.

Is gay marriage acceptable? No, not in my judgement. So, what does that mean for government? Well, the answer is in the question. Government should have nothing to do with marriage except to enforce legal contracts between two people in a court. Should gays be able to marry? Well, I don't think so, but they should be allowed to anyway, because I nor anyone else has a right to tell someone else what they can and cannot do in their personal lives.

The Golden Rule: Don't do to others what you would not want them to do to you. It is literally amazing how much that rule applies to nearly every issue/ debate.

Well thanks!  now I know you can be one person I can dismiss as a fanatical extremist!  

Pro Life?  cool, women don't get to have choices of what they do with their bodies.  AWESOME 
Anti Gun control?  Awesome, not long before america is as bad as Somalia...what with all the child armies and whatnot!  GUNS FOR EVERYONE! 
Gays can't marry?  AWESOME!  you're a bigot.  End of discussion. 

Just becuase someone't is tradition doesn't make it right. This post here (and people who agree with it) are what make the political right look like a bunch of extremist rednecks.  Keep up the good work!
