Prof Adams, you say "Same sex marriage does not tame men, it does not protect women, and it is not good for or even conducive to raising children." Isn't that rather a blanket statement of opinion? My grand daughter is being raised by two people who love one another and their children, are moral, committed, and faithful. They also happen to both be women. It is the concept of marriage that tames those who wish to be tamed not the institution, the same applies to protecting women and children.

OMGosh Amy how well put. It is going to be so awesome when the USA once again becomes the major super power and peace reigns cause NO BODY will dare challenge the biggest baddest guy on the block. The cool part of that is we only use our strength for good. I know some of the moronic libs who post here will become apoplectic but so be it.

"We’ve already given away too much of our founding soul to give away any more..." what a great line. ARE we ready to stand firm? ARE We The People really going to do it this time? I think so. I'm reading "The Death of Liberalism" by R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., gives me hope. The way he puts things Liberalism IS dead....go in peace.

"The police are the last line of defense against barbarism,..." unfortunately not entirely true, the real last line is the armed citizen. I know, I know we can't descend into anarchy but what is happening now? What is this moronic business about not defending the citizen, not enforcing the rule of law? Certainly ALL peaceful means must be used but people must be prepared if the thin blue line is forced to stand aside, then what?

All very true, add to this the lack of adequate Conservative response to BHO's lies/perversions of facts/nasty attacks etc. We are going to HAVE to fight fire with fire. We can travel the high road but need to fight back.

There appears to be something seriously wrong with you.

Pinenee sir you have it backwards America has had 220 years of greatness with only the last being a debacle.

Sorry but Mr Obama does not stand tall, he is the most divisive person who has ever been in charge of the country, he has taken us down the road to socialism against the will of the people, he has squandered and wasted our resources, he is not worthy to be spoken of in the same breath as Rosa Parks et al.

Well said Ann, thanks

Ann has it right AGAIN, Romney has to stand up for the principles of this country and let the Republican establishment go to the deep dark hot place.
