Right Wing Writer: We Lost On Marriage
"As a lawyer, I sometimes have to deliver news that clients don’t want to hear. Here’s some for conservatives. The gay marriage fight is over. It is here to stay, and conservatives – whether for it, against it or just tired of hearing about it – need to coolly and dispassionately figure out just how we are going to win going forward. This is not a judgment about its pros and cons. We’re past that. None of it matters anymore. This is about dealing with reality. Whether the fight ends with a Constitution-twisting Supreme Court ruling or after years or decades as the states adopt it one by one, it’s a done deal. And even if you aren’t yet ready to accept that it’s lost you still need to prepare for that contingency. The question is, 'What do we conservatives do next?' - Conservative columnist Kurt Schlichter, writing for the right wing Townhall, where a couple of thousand commenters are furious. The piece is worth reading if just for the rabid responses.
