"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States ofAmerica."

To think it promotes the "general welfare" if no citizens are denied healthcare is not socialism. To think homosexual couples should be granted marriage rights as a part of "establish justice" is not immoral. The trouble is, the Right Wing Flirties on BGR don't won't to debate issues within the framework of what is truest to this nation's deepest principles. They want to demonize Barack Obama as "socialist" or "Hitleresque" or "not even an American" and such. So, here's an appeal: tell me why, Right Wingers, the 14th Amendment ("equal protection of the laws") should not be applied to two consenting adults seeking marital protections and rights?
