It seems that there are just some people out there who want to hold a grudge about everything, even it doesn’t personally affect them. Take, for instance, those Christian conservatives that Bush is supposedly beholden to. I guess they are up in arms about the Mayor of San Francisco having city hall issue marriage certificates to gay couples. I don’t care if they decry it at all, but what disturbs me is this, from the Washington Times:

“I am just furious over what’s going on in California and over what the president is not doing in California,” a prominent evangelical leader confided. “He says he’s ‘troubled’ — he should be outraged. If he’s troubled, he should pick up the phone and call [California Republican Gov.] Arnold [Schwarzenegger] and tell him we want action against the rogue mayor who is breaking the law.”

I guess to these evangelicals, federalism only applies when the “law” being defended is God’s, as it was in the Alabama Supreme Court.

Anyway, in contrast, Harry Browne wrote a good piece about what we should do to defend marriage.
