P.S. it seems to me Amash holds the same position on the marriage question as Anne, and Anne doesn't represent a lot of social conservatives, but you know how Libertarians are always saying they can't vote for the lesser of two evils? That will be what many Conservative Christian voters would say about a candidate who is fiscally conservative, but would fight efforts to preserve life in the womb and the religious liberty of individual Americans to be true to what they believe is God's plan for marriage. I'd like to see you do a show on how the LGBT establishment has assaulted the religious liberty of business men and women trying to force them to accept their view of marriage, because LGBT generally rejects free exercise,

John, Coulter could have made a better argument for traditional marriage. If, on principle, we should redefine marriage, then name any argument for redefining it to include homosexual couples that would not equally apply to consenting adults in an incestuous relationship, or in a relationship of more than three people. If you do not think that consenting siblings should be recognized as married by our government, but cannot articulate a limiting principle, then you are inconsistent. If you do believe that marriage should be nationally legalized for all those groups, then you should be honest and say just how much you want to redefine marriage, because plenty of these young people support gay marriage due to the emotional arguments.

Don't know if this guy is a conservative, but you can just tell he's a better sort of person. Socialist protesters whine that all their problems are a result of society, not their own fault. This guy gets his business torn apart, and offers grace and forgiveness, and is ready to get back to work. This is the spirit conservatives can speak to and win over, regardless of age, gender, or race.

Ann, they are not raising taxes based on ideology, but based on income. So they're taxing Conservatives too. Antipathy for the Hollywood culture does not justify raising taxes on fellow Americans who are hard working. Ironically, it's liberals who use feelings of antipathy for rich folk to make tax increases sound good, but you're just advocating raising taxes and killing jobs. The problem with the, "it's inevitable and they'll blame it on us" argument is that they'll blame it on us no matter what. When tax increases hurt the economy, they'll say "It was bipartisan! Republicans voted for it!" What is the limiting principle to this argument? It's a sure way to drive people out of the Republican party tent.

Why do you assume it's a pander? What qualities does Tim Scott possess which makes him less qualified than some one else. If not Scott, who would you say is the strongest conservative and why?

I would change a few things. The fact that Mormons were forced to give up a sincerely held religious belief or face persecution is not "wise" in my opinion, but sad. Just because you don't like the idea of Indians smoking Peote for their religion doesn't mean they don't have a right to practice it. The best argument would be that you can never out-promise the Democrats. If you say "We're federalists" and promise not to impose your traditional marriage views through law, the Dems will say you're still a bigot and will champion overturning any state law or constitution which doesn't recognize "marriage equality." Also, since people are now cheering for polygamy, arguing that gay marriage will lead to polygamy does the left's job for it.

If you disagree, you can cancel your subscription and send a note explaining why. That's the beauty of capitalism.

I'm recommending liberty and tyranny to my college friends who were disillusioned by obama but weren't willing to make the switch to Romney.

Well, you must admit, if you're looking for comedic fodder, Maddow is one of the best places to search.

As horrible as the HHS Mandate is, when liberal Catholics do this to guys like Ryan, it makes me wonder "A) Have they learned nothing from Obamacare and B) If they are going to advocate Big Government and justify it by saying 'Jesus helped the poor' then they deserve to lose their religious liberty because they've advocated loss of liberty for everyone else." Of course, sensible Catholics don't deserve that, but like everything else, liberalism hurts the people they claim to represent. If we are supposed to render unto Ceasar the things that are Ceasar's and render unto God the things that are God's, we should limit Caesar's big government so that we have to render as little as possible to him.
