I did not know that the government didn’t used to have diddly to do with marriage! It was racist Democrats who invented marriage licenses as a means to prevent blacks and whites from marrying. Now anti-Christian Democrats are using it to put Christians out of business. These three guys explain why government shouldn’t be in the marriage business, period.

1) I’ve been saying this for years, but too many “social conservatives” wouldn’t hear of it. I’ve know that the arguments being made were loosing arguments, at least for this generation. The *only* possible winning argument has ever been the removal of gov’t from marriage.
2) “The last time a gov’t saw Jesus, they killed Him.” LOL
3) Bill Whittle is single?! Is he straight? Or at least Bi? I gotta go find my lipstick and do my hair . .. . 😉

Hiya, folks! Hope alla y’all had a good Independence Day weekend.
I wrote about government and marriage once upon a time. (Shuffles through archives.) Ah, here ’tis.
Ex-urps from “Free to Marry,” 1997 Mar 7, written in response to a state rep who as much as called common-law marriages illegitimate.
As with so many things, it is other bad laws which “require” State recognition of marriage. For recent example, Alabama has proposed getting out of the marriage business.

Pharq! Wish WordPress let me edit my comments.
If some wizard wants to get in and change the <blockquote> after “without state approval. …” to </blockquote> it would make my comment look better.
