I have a lot of trouble wrapping my head around conservatives’ positions on social issues. “I don’t want the government telling me what to do” yada yada. Yet the same crowd wants to legislate morality, their morality. I can not understand it. I know this complaint is somewhat of a cliche already, but it’s as real as it is impossible to understand if you’re even remotely sane.
I also don’t understand Governor Christie here:
When asked if he would ever change his mind on this issue as public opinion swings to supporting same-sex marriage — Washington state recently became the seventh in the nation, along with the District of Columbia, to allow gay marriage — Christie said he would not.
“I won’t compromise my principles for politics,” he said.
Wait. What? Isn’t it the government’s job to represent the people and do what the people want?
