FLASH BULLETIN! ALERT! the gay marriage movement is gaining ground, creeping stealthily across the globe, threatening to overtake the world, and render gay marriage the order of the day. New Zealand has now become the thirteenth nation to legalize gay marriage. It is quite evident that more will follow soon, most notably France, followed by still others, until...
Even in staid, conservative america about one third of the fifty states have legalized gay marriage, and the best guess is that all fifty will have done so within a few years. The tide of gay marriage is sweeping through america.
The republcians and conservatives must decide how to deal with this, because this is most certainly not the america they envisioned and strove mightily for. Same is true for the issue of illegal immigration, of the eleven or twelve million "illegal residents", and so forth. they, the conservative republicans, must determine how to proceed in a society moving away from them.
They asimply appear to be softening on both issues, gay marriage and immigration. Leaning more towards the middle, trying to ameliorate, to slow down america's porgressive momentum rather then derail or reverse it. Sensible approach, altogether.
Of course, that's the way conservatism always goes; slowy towards liberalism, following behind it, kicking and screaming. enslavement becamde segregation which became separate but equal which became integration and racial equality. Change always occuring, inevitably, albeit being slowed down a bit through the futile but stubborn resistance of conservatism.
But, its all good, as they say. There's no way to stop progress.
