DOMA, which was voted in by a huge margin, does 2 things....
1 Allows each state to decide the issue of marriage.
2 Prevents federal benefits to people who are not in a traditional marriage.
It does not prevent anyone anywhere from doing anything.
And it treats everyone equally.
You know, this is what's wrong with you. If I could describe you in one word, it wouldn't be
stupid or
crazy. It wouln't even be
conservative. It would be
disingenuous. You are a liar. Not just about facts, though you certainly lie enough in that respect. It's the logical fallacies. It's this defense of DOMA and of Sarah Palin's Bush Doctrine ignorance, two of the most blatant examples of sophistry I've ever seen in my life.
You see, if you were an honest man, you'd acknowledge when two things you supposedly value (like individual freedom and states' rights) come into conflict (as in DOMA), and say you value states' rights more. And that would be OK. But you're not an honest man. You're swamphawk. So you concoct these ludicrously feeble arguments that pretend government regulation is freedom and denying certain rights to minorities treats everyone equally.
Why?
Because you're disingenuous.
Because you're a liar.
Because you're immature.
