"Massachusetts Supreme Court Abolishes Capitalism!" Margaret calls my attention to the latest column by the Blonde Bomb .... The Democrats' purported opposition to gay marriage is like all their other phony policy statements that are the opposite of what they really believe. When they're running for office, all Democrats claim to support tax cuts (for the middle class), to support gun rights (for hunters) and to "personally oppose" abortion. And then they get into office and vote to raise taxes, ban guns and allow abortions if a girl can't fit into her prom dress. The common wisdom holds that "both parties" have to appeal to the extremes during the primary and then move to the center for the general election. To the contrary, both parties run for office as conservatives. Once they have fooled the voters and are safely in office, Republicans sometimes double-cross the voters. Democrats always do. I have always thought "civil unions" for "gays" to be a sham: the effects would be "marriage" in everything but name. And, sooner or later (probably sooner) somebody will go to court and find 4 out of 7 judges who will decide that since a "civil union" is a "marriage" in everything but name then it's somehow, someway "unconstitutional" to not call a "civil union" a "marriage".
