The "marriage for anyone" thing that obama came out with makes total sense to me. Who cares what consenting adults wish to share? Hell, i don't even see any real reason that polygamy should be illegal. Other than it is fun to poke at people who were consenting adults, those mormons of old. Not really clear how that became a condition for statehood, but they bought into it, much to the chagrin of the lecherous bastards who had some cousins reaching puberty soon. Even corporations, our newest citizens, are allowed to legally merge, for chrissakes.

But thinking that gay marriage is no big rip and anyone who thinks that tolerance is a civil imperative apparently doesn't register with Rand Paul. I guess he doesn't understand what libertarians are for... anyway...

Rand Paul Says He Didn't Think Obama's Views 'Could Get Any Gayer'
By Jason M. Volack | ABC News – 1 hr 52 mins ago

Sen. Rand Paul mocked President Obama's recent support of gay marriage on Friday, saying he didn't think Obama's views "could get any gayer."

"The president recently weighed in on marriage and you know he said his views were evolving on marriage," the Kentucky Republican said at Iowa's Faith and Freedom Coalition meeting. "Call me cynical, but I wasn't sure his views on marriage could get any gayer."

The comments, which generated laughs, were made two days after Obama announced that he supported same-sex marriage, which he had previously opposed, while adding he thought the issue should be left up to the states to decide.

Paul was encouraging support for his father Ron Paul's long-shot presidential campaign when the conversation turned to the news of the week.

"He said the biblical golden rule caused him to be for gay marriage," Paul said. "I'm like what version of the Bible is he reading?"

Paul went on to say that he's not preaching hateful dogma against people, but added that he didn't believe people should give up on their traditions.

"Six thousand years of tradition" combined with "anthropological" evidence shows "there's stability in the family unit," he said.
