Message to Rush Limbaugh: Civil unions are not compatible with conservatism or a free society

John-Henry Westen writing at LifeSiteNews: “Speaking on his radio show yesterday [July 28th], famed conservative talk show personality Rush Limbaugh said that he supports same-sex civil unions. Reacting to critics of musician Elton John, who performed at Limbaugh’s recent wedding, Limbaugh stated: ‘Elton John is on the same page as I am, as is Obama on gay marriage. He’s for civil unions, but he’s not for marriage.’ . .”

David French: I was wrong about marriage
“I have a strong libertarian streak and was completely fed up with the cavalier way in which the Christian community treated its own marriage vows . . . But I was wrong. No, I wasn’t wrong that Christians have their own marriage problem. That much is obvious. I was wrong in believing that there was essentially ‘no harm, no foul’ legally or culturally in recognizing ‘gay marriage.’ I was wrong to believe that the proper response to the damage to done to the institution of marriage was to essentially throw our hands up and allow even further damage. And I was definitely wrong to believe that legalizing same-sex marriage — as a practical matter — is a libertarian decision in the real world.”

Jennifer Roeback Morse writing at the American Thinker: The Curious Case of the Incurious Economists
“Normally, economists and libertarians take pride in tracking the changes in incentives as far through society as possible. Yet on the subject of same-sex marriage, these economists seemed uncharacteristically incurious. They seem to think same sex-marriage will affect only the handful of people who 1) currently identify themselves as gay or lesbian, 2) are partnered, and 3) want to get married. My economist friends do not seem to see that redefining marriage will create changes in the social incentive structure for everyone. If I’m right, the behavior of many millions of people could be in play.”
