(27,670 posts)same sex marriage was not only constitutional but ethical as well? Or that LGBT rights are human rights?
It wasn't conservatives who did this, it was the LGBT community and liberals/progressives.
Progressives force the big social issues, like the civil rights act, despite coinservative opposition. We are always ahead of our time, and we always win eventually.
Unfortunately, right now we are in a life and death struggle with this government that has been taken over by banksters you apparently admire.
No worries, once we liberals/progressives eventually have our way and orchestrate and institute a more just and equitable political system, conservative Democrats will follow along, just like they always do. Conservatives have a tough time accepting change, and we liberals understand that. We know that once we make the changes, conservatives will eventually consider them the norm after the passage of time.
Conservatives, in any degree of conservatism, almost always resist progressive change until liberal/progressive radical activists force the issue. If minorities and Lib/prog activists had not forced the issue legal race equality, conservatives would have made sure black folks remained in the back of the bus.
So now we have a black President.
Because minorities and liberals made this possible.
So come on into the light, stop fighting against progressive change, and choose to be on the right side of history early.
