Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Sources Near Jeb Bush Say He's "Evolving" On Gay Marriage And Might Just Embrace It...should the Supreme Court make it the law of the land in June, which they, you know, probably will. So not a "moderate" Republican but a liberal one. Ah, whatever, that's fine. I suppose I should credit him, at least, for being somewhat honest about it. Well, if the party is craving a liberal candidate, he would be a decent choice. I'm not craving that but I'm sure the various Wall Streeters -- again, let me note they all live in New York City and that one's politics are substantially formed by the culture one lives in -- are all for a Republican Party which is liberal in every single way except corporate tax rates and top personal marginal rates.Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

That ships long since sailed.
What was marriage has ceased to be, and the word is now associated with government benefits and a Social Justice hammer to punish the "H8rz" with. The "Trans-gender" thing is quickly morphing into its final form, and soon not referring to a person by their preferred pronouns will be as acceptable as burning crosses on someone's yard. The question is: What's next after that? Posted by: The Hetero-Hat at February 26, 2015 02:52 PM (0Ew3K) 10

How can you fault a guy who says openly what he thinks? It's not like Jeb is hiding all this immigration/Common Core stuff, pretending not to be for it only to spring it after winning the nomination.
Now, the problem for the self-described "base" of the Party is to get behind a candidate who can draw more actual primary votes than Bush can. OR, they can rally behind a fringe candidate with no chance so they have another four years to whine and kvetch that the "GOP Establishment won't listen to The Base." Clue for the clueless: just claiming to be The Base only makes you look stupid when you can't win primaries. The real Base is the majority or at least strong plurality.

Add No Minimum Wage and Wars Everywhere and you have aptly and fully defined today's Republican party.
*** It seems to me one of the many problems we have is that the actual conservatives in the Republican party aren't ready to fight tooth and nail against the establishment. For example, were I a House conservative leader I would let Boehner know that any surrender on Obama's amnesty would lead to a vote on a minimum wage hike, and something to put real teeth into the nominal legal provision that H1B employees have to be paid the prevailing wage of native born employees. If the Chamber of Commerce types think they'll get rich off killing wages via immigration let's make sure they understand they won't. Posted by: 18-1 at February 26, 2015 03:01 PM (78TbK) 63

Marriage is a religious issue.
Marriage is a society issue. It affects not only the married couple, but their children, inheritance, and even ownership and contract law. Therefore it is a government issue. We can be a society which believes marriage is a name and set of rituals we built up around something that already existed in nature, or we can be one that claims that marriage is just made up. Both of those ideas have consequences which should be well considered before you pick one. Posted by: AllenG (DedicatedTenther) - TrueCon at February 26, 2015 03:01 PM (kff5f) 66

Anyhoo, part of the job is collecting demographics. I've run across TWO married gay couples.
Here are real statistics from Canada, which has had same-sex marriage for some time. http://www12.statcan.ca/census-recensement/2011/as-sa/98-312-x/98-312-x2011001-eng.cfm There are 6,292,000 married couples. 21,025 of them are same-sex.

Marriage redefinition is just the particular issue - the process question here is much bigger, yet all seem quite blase about it. The SCOTUS as, to use a term coined by a former SCOTUS clerk - "unaccountable super-legislature for dummies".
Just the latest in a long series of absurd, indefensible creative writing in which "equal protection" is, comically, used to justify changing basic cultural institutions - when equal protection is easily and in most cases already addressed through the more normal limited means of legislation. Remember, "equal protection" is a sacred concept in a system that formally endorses state-based racial discrimination. Rule of law!

Immediately the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace, opposite the lampstand. And the king saw the hand as it wrote.

Obama issued a ridiculously Orwellian statement on net neutrality:
Warning, take your blood pressure pills before reading. Today's FCC decision will protect innovation and create a level playing field for the next generation of entrepreneurs-and it wouldn't have happened without Americans like you. More than 4 million people wrote in to the FCC, overwhelmingly in support of a free and fair internet. Countless others spoke out on social media, petitioned their government, and stood up for what they believe. I ran for office because I believed that nothing can stand in the way of millions of voices calling for change. That's the backbone of our democracy-and you've proven that this timeless principle is alive and well in our digital age.

Bandersnatch if you're still here, I was only pointing out that this is merely the current example of something that DOES affect you and all of us, one of the worst problems facing the republic: judicial tyranny and lawlessness. You're confusing the underlying issue with the process. The process is disastrously off the rails.
Marriage redefinition is a spectacular example in that it ignores the central (though often merely lazy expedient) principle of judicial restraint in finding the least disruptive solution to any "problem" and instead jumps in and comically mandates the complete transformation of literally the oldest human institution without any plausible reason. Since far more limited solutions (civil unions) fully address the mostly bogus "equal protection" issues that do exist. This systemic collapse does affect you, it already disastrously affects me (O-care). And the marriage redefinition chapter merely reminds us that there are, now, no limits. Regardless of merit and weight of unforeseen consequences, the courts simplyrule the society. Posted by: rhomboid at February 26, 2015 03:18 PM (afQnV) 169

"I'm not craving that but I'm sure the various Wall Streeters -- again,
let me note they all live in New York City and that one's politics are substantially formed by the culture one lives in -- are all for a Republican Party which is liberal in every single way except corporate tax rates and top personal marginal rates." Given today's technology and communications, there is no particular reason for so much of the financial industry to be located in New York City except for inertia and, perhaps, the concentration of amenities that rich financial industry types like to frequent. It occurs to me that the Obama Administration's feckless attitude towards terrorism as well as infectious diseases like Ebola is likely to result in an event with a whole lot of casualties in at least one major American city. If such a thing happens in New York City, a probable result is likely to be the dispersal of the American financial industry more widely around the United States. Aside from making the financial industry more resilient and less vulnerable, there could be other societal and political benefits arising from such an event.

In practical, strictly financial terms, same-sex marriage that doesn't place demands on churches, etc. (and, of course, it will) is a boon.
Universities, corporations and other institutions who have had "partner benefits" can get rid of them and require marriage without risking the wrath of teh gheys. As the stats show above, gays don't really want marriage, except as a theoretical concept (or as a way to get their boy toys legal resident status from overseas, as is largely the case with the UK).

Oh, Marcus T, I'd guess (guess) that the "liberal" part is far less important and pervasive than the "rent-seeker" part (about Wall Street).
But here I'm going beyond finance to include corps like GE, the health insurers, etc. The looting of the treasury and the use of guvamint to seize/influence markets is always a risk, but it seems it's gotten completely out of control of late. This pre-dates Obama (see Bush TreasSecs). Of course it's circular. As the govt. breaks its constitutional bounds, it becomes more rational to play the game than to not play the game for business interests. Which makes the govt. more powerful. Which means you give even more money as donors as protection money, at the least. Posted by: rhomboid at February 26, 2015 03:25 PM (afQnV) 208

Government social engineering to promote gay relationships isn't really "smaller government."
There was a big case in Indiana where a lesbian with a terminal illness threw a big snit in the court about her children and her partner getting all the government money she felt her death should entitle them to. Custody, inheritance--all that could have been set up with binding legal documents, just as if she was setting her kids up with their aunt or a trusted friend, and motherless kids don't get denied SS "survivor benefits" because of their mother's sex life.

That way they can focus on smaller government, lower taxes and less regulation.
THAT would be conservative. Fiscally, it would seem so at first blush. Socially, no. However, this is a common fallacy. Saying "who cares, do what you want with your own life" means "leftist you take control." They don't just want to be left to do what they want with their own lives, that's the entire problem here. You can pretend you're married all you want. But when you demand businesses and government recognize it and give you benefits, tax breaks, etc, then it becomes a fiscal issue. And, although its a longer discussion, if you surrender either fiscal or social side of conservatism, eventually you slide away from the side you held to. If you're socially conservative but not fiscally, eventually you become socially leftist as a society and often an individual. Same with the opposite.

They would require people to get a Justice of the Peace marriage first, then go to the Temple for a Sealing Ceremony.

Last attempt: redefining marriage by fiat, with ludicrous gymnastics making it about "equal protection", thereby steam-rolling both common sense and expressed social consensus on the subject (against), is of a piece with all the other judicial tyranny that has the country on the precipice.
So showboating your enthusiasm for marriage redefinition here is merely, in fact, flaunting your shallow understanding of what's at stake. Not that it's uniquely at stake - the courts have begun to rule over society in many ways, starting decades ago. But that's the important point. Marriage redefinition is just the latest example. And it's instructive in its brazenness, which parallels that of the O-care decision. Posted by: rhomboid at February 26, 2015 03:32 PM (afQnV) 253

Yep, and it's not just churches, it's the destruction/subversion of any religious institution. Banish religion from polite society, which also takes A LOT of private organizations that compete with the government. Exhibit A was getting the Catholic Charities adoption agency to close because they wouldn't place children with same-sex couples back on 2006: "CATHOLIC CHARITIES OF BOSTON made the announcement on March 10: It was getting out of the adoption business. "We have encountered a dilemma we cannot resolve. . . . The issue is adoption to same-sex couples." It was shocking news. Catholic Charities of Boston, one of the nation's oldest adoption agencies, had long specialized in finding good homes for hard to place kids. "Catholic Charities was always at the top of the list," Paula Wisnewski, director of adoption for the Home for Little Wanderers, told the Boston Globe. "It's a shame because it is certainly going to mean that fewer children from foster care are going to find permanent homes." Marylou Sudders, president of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, said simply, "This is a tragedy for kids." The kids? It's more important to validate peoples' lifestyle choices than help some kids. Posted by: Lizzy at February 26, 2015 03:32 PM (lHHyw) 258

Posted by: gm at February 26, 2015 02:53 PM (/kBoL)" There is a lot of truth in that. The GOP could get a lot of Democrat support for removing Civil Service protection from a lot of government employees because the Democrats are always looking for government goodies to give out to their supporters. The top levels of government departments are always political appointees. The next level down are usually career civil service employees who are almost always life long Democrats and who frequently do everything that they can to obstruct their bosses and the President when there is a Republican in office. My modest proposal would be to change the status of the next level down to also being political appointees without civil service protection. Democrats will go for this because it creates lots more political patronage jobs. Republicans ought to be enthusiastic about that because it means that the next Republican President will have a better chance of his policies actually being put into practice.

Bandersnatch if you're still here, Yes, I understand that you are talking about the unaccountability of SCOTUS. And I've tried to stay out this but: if you want this to go away get government out of marriage. No differing tax rates for married v. single, (btw, get rid of dependent child and mortgage interest deductions too, but that's a tangent), and let inheritance and hospital visiting privileges be matters of contract. If the government is out of it you can call marriage "persimmon" or anything else you want, you can call gay marriage "turnips" or an "abomination" and it won't affect anything. But we're not going to get government out of marriage because government is about coercion and it wants to punish you for renting or being single.

Its interesting, the left can push for anything, no matter how crazy and extreme, no matter how despised and mocked and outside the mainstream... and eventually, by pushing constantly, it slowly becomes acceptable.

Most of the gay couples I know who got married are already "divorced".
I wonder how many don't even bother. From what I can tell, a large proportion of them have at least one partner with gray hair. Marriage -- because of its heteronormative nature -- is something that is done early in a relationship to cement it. For many gay couples who weren't just trying to make a statement, it's a celebration of the relationship entering the inertia phase. When age makes alternative options unlikely.

But we're not going to get government out of marriage because government is about coercion and it wants to punish you for renting or being single.
Even if we could, we shouldn't. Society (especially it's mores and morals) and Government are symbiotic. The courser the culture gets, the worse the government gets, and they feed into each other in a vicious spiral. The nuclear family- Mom, Dad, Little Nellie, and Little Jim- are the basic unit of Society. It is in family where we (in theory) first learn to sublimate our own needs and desires for others. It is in family where we first learn that sacrifice of things I want for someone else's good can lead to good things for me. It is in family where we learn cooperation, and reciprocity, and a whole host of things that are necessary for our society to function. A society which does not encourage this arrangement is not taking care of its own health. A society which actively degrades this arrangement- as our current society has been since at least the 60s- is one which is committing a slow suicide. Government needs to be in the marriage business because so much is tied up with marriage from a civil standpoint. Further, Government needs to support "traditional" (I will say: "real") marriage because supporting any other type of marriage is detrimental to the concept of the nuclear family.

"conservatives would be incredibly stupid to run on "gay marriage repeal" after the Supreme Court sanctifies it in all 50 states. "
I like the fact that purist conservatives here are always accusing this or that republican to be a pussy. Well I'd be a pussy too knowing how cowards my supporters are. It is still legal to fire someone because he is big anus and there are states which effectively put protections on people of faith who do not want to have anything to do with faggot marriage. That to me sounds enough like resistance, see? some people are not cowards. When you are deprived of the many weapons of the left (school indoctrination, media indoctrination etc) you have to fight fire with anything you can grab your hands on. Big anus lovers might still threaten churches and fire HETEROSEXUALS for believing in traditional marriage, but at least you have the right not to hire one of them or not to work for them. I read so many nasty things about Europe, but Europe is not anywhere near the level of capitulation I read here on a 'conservative' blog.
