FMA

For some reason, the wingnuts at the AFA seem to think that only one state representative actually opposed the Federal Marriage Amendment. I love being on that mailing list: it’s the political version of reading a trade journal from someone else’s industry.

Now, many liberals, or “progressives” as we now prefer to be called, oppose the FMA because it’s bigoted and stupid. Many conservatives, however, also oppose it, because it’s stupid and because they regard it as overreaching. There’s that weird collaboration between the religious right and the Republican party. Oh, sure, it’s all there in the political history. But look at the Log Cabin Republicans: they want government out of the boardroom and the bedroom, making them perhaps the only philosophically consistent group in Washington. And everybody thinks they’re the crazy ones.
