Rand: Government Should Get Out Of Marriage Business Altogether

Rand Paul doesn’t want the government involved with marriage at all, gay or straight.

The government should not prevent people from making contracts but that does not mean that the government must confer a special imprimatur upon a new definition of marriage.

Perhaps the time has come to examine whether or not governmental recognition of marriage is a good idea, for either party.

Since government has been involved in marriage, they have done what they always do — taxed it, regulated it, and now redefined it. It is hard to argue that government’s involvement in marriage has made it better, a fact also not surprising to those who believe government does little right.

So now, states such as Alabama are beginning to understand this as they begin to get out of the marriage licensing business altogether. Will others follow?

      this is why they won’t win. lying and trying to come with ideas to discriminate against American citizens. makes me sick.

    this rectal dropping doesn’t realize that it is a question of equal right for all people in the country – it’s not really a question of marriage. The man is a mindless pit of a sand box. We used to piss in sandboxes and giggle -now I’d sneer.

    Shorter Rand Paul: If conservatives can’t define and dominate it, the government shouldn’t be doing it.

        Feel free to use it and/or modify it to your hearts content, and you don’t have to bother giving me credit. Unless you need somebody to blame it on! ;-}

    Rand’s mentality is pretty much my own when it comes to marriage. That said, so long as it is in the hands of the state, they have no right to discriminate about 2 consenting adults getting married, no matter the races or genders involved.
