There you go again…

Posted on September 24th, 2009 by Greg Hauenstein

Does Steve King realize what he’s saying?
If there’s a push for a socialist society where the foundations of individual rights and liberties are undermined and everybody is thrown together living collectively off one pot of resources earned by everyone, this is one of the goals they have to go to, same sex marriage, because it has to plow through marriage in order to get to their goal. They want public affirmation, they want access to public funds and resources… “Not only is it a radical social idea, it is a purely socialist concept in the final analysis…”
Socialism? Really? Allowing two adults the right to marry the person they love is a path to redistribution of wealth or government ownership of the means of production? If we’re going to use slippery slope arguments then by King’s logic no one should get married. Then no one would require access to public funds and resources! Think of all the paper we’d save by just denying EVERYONE their civil rights! Let’s show Steve King that civil rights don’t equal socialism.
