Chris Christie says gay marriage is “too serious to be treated like a political football.” So he proposes to make it the ball, instead. It's the only way to describe his punting on this issue.
Why is it that conservatives always seem to seek to curtail rights? They idolize the words of that parchment, without any intention of actually understanding or abiding by them. "Pursuit of happiness"? For me, but not for you!
Since when have basic human rights been subject to the whims of the majority? Oh I know - since forever. That still doesn't make it right. This democracy is supposed to be about protecting minorities from the whims of the majorities and/or powerful; and protecting all from the powerful. Instead, people like Chris Christie exploit phobias and work hard to ensure that rights are subject to whims and fashions.
Shame on this "blunt talking" ballerina.
