Santorum, visiting Olympia, calls for constitutional ban on same-sex marriage

[quaker bill]

33. Rickki, - just a language note: consensus is not

a single uniform national standard imposed on states that do not agree, it is not majority rule either. It is a mutual voluntary agreement. Debates and constitutional ammendments do not build consensus. Your intent is to have a majority impose its judgement on a minority of states by force of law, this is not consensus, please stop abusing the term.

BTW

In your professed belief system, marriage is a union of two people created by God, so your notion that government can "protect marriage" either gives government pretty much God-like powers, or constrains God to the nearly powerless place you normally describe as government's proper role. Are you really saying that God needs government's help, but the business community doesn't? Because that is what it sounds like to me...
