A recent Washington Post article printed in the New Haven Register said opposition to same sex marriage is concentrated first in voters 65 years old and older. This is the group of seniors that also comprises what is often called "America's Greatest Generation." Those men and women that fought in World War II on the front and built the equipment at home necessary for victory. Shortly after, they stemmed the spread of communism in Korea. You’re going to demean them because they believed then and still believe that matrimony is a sacred vow between a man and a woman and when consumated created children, then grandchildren, nieces, nephews and on and on. Same sex marraige does none of this.
The article then goes on to imply that the the next groups in order are white evangelical Christians, and obviously dumb white people without college educations. (At near 80 years old and having built several successful enterprises and as former president of many business associations, etc., in my lifetime I was shocked to learn how dumb I have been all these years because I didn't have the opportunity to get a college degree.) Many young people in those days had to go to work to help support the families that lost parents in the war.
At this point we must then believe the people surveyed by the great Washington Post who were pro-gay marriage were white college students and post-grads with no religion as there is no mention of any minorities being polled or other religions except the evangelicals. These are the same professional students who want to share the wealth while they live off their parents and student loans, which they have no idea how they will repay. Of course they want to share the wealth, they have yet to work for a day's pay. Aren't these the same group of people who are pro-abortion? They think nothing of having free sex, because they can always take a pill or have an abortion.
So if we leave it up to these educated people, we will have more same-sex marriage, which produces no offspring, and and elite group of abortionists who produce no offspring. With that kind of a society, the world population will shrink as the law of diminishing returns teaches us until it's too late to reverse the cycle. Maybe we, the 65 and over and the uneducated white people, aren't so dumb after all.
