    Who exactly is that?

    I know libertarians tended to be non-religious in the 70s. There are still plenty of those (see: me).

    But I would be interested to know what a "classic libertarian" is. Etienne de la Boetie or Lao Tzu? If so, what qualifies them as a "classic" libertarian?

    I really hope you don't mean Randroids when you say "classic libertarian."

    BTW, awesome how liberals can dismiss the drone bombing of thousands of innocent people (and the torture of Manning and persecution of other whistleblowers, his use of SWAT teams to wipe out drug use [even though he admitted to using said drugs himself!], etc.) because Rand Paul made a lame joke using the word gay.

    Definitely - the two items are inextricably linked.

    You can't separate them. They are practically gay married.

    I would guess that the Pauls would support the repeal of Section 3 that Clinton signed into law.

    And per usual, your guess is dead wrong.

    Yes, that's exactly what it is.

    The Obama administration is refusing to defend section 3 challenges in CT and NY, and Ron Paul is getting his Depends all up in a tizzy.

    Could not be more clear.

    Sounds like reference to Section 2, not 3.

    If RP truly wanted the federal government to define marriage, he wouldn't have voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment.

    You do. His name is Ron Paul.

    Post #24, when Ron Paul launches into a hissyfit about Obama's refusal to defend section 3 of DOMA, which is the part being challenged, and promises DOMA forever?

    I'm surprised more gays don't support that gay right pioneer king.

    Section 2 emphasizes that that marriage is a jurisdiction of the states. Section 3 only has to do with federal government issues such as immigration etc. It doesn't dictate anything to the states. RP is not referring to Section 3 at all.

    He first thing he refers to is the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the Constitution - the duties of the states. That is in reference to Section 2.

    Yes he is.

    The lawsuits are explicitly challenges to Section 3.

    He is trying to bar the federal courts from hearing them, since he supports Section 3 - and the rest of DOMA.

    Could not be more clear. He hates him some gay marriage, loves him some DOMA. Nobody is confused about this at all.

    Rand Paul supports the Federal govt. defining marriage. He's made it clear. Rand Paul wants the Federal govt. to define marriage.

    Ron Paul explicitly refers to Section 2, not 3.

    Please show me where RP refers to Section 3. You are only inferring it, and it is obvious.

    Clinton signed DOMA.

    Ron Paul voted against FMA. He also defended the repeal of DADT, stating that heterosexuals cause more trouble in the military than homosexuals.

    It is obvious to everybody that Ron Paul is huge DOMA backer due to his unabashed opposition to Gay marriage. He loves him some section 3, that's why he threw a tantrum about it and wants to keep the courts from throwing it out.
    Ron Paul - interests: Gold, DOMA, Bigotry

    Let's keep the federal government out of bigotry.

    Bigotry is a states rights issue.

    Your parents didn't buy you enough connect-the-dots books as a kid because you sure suck at it.

    Ron Paul is a light against the power-obsessed, evil Socialists.
