Republicans admit it: they want to “regulate” your “sexual relationships”. [View all]

http://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2013/09/19/republicans-admit-it-they-want-to-regulate-your-sexual-relationships/

Snips:
"And they say government has the right to do so. In this link, the “Republican” government of Michigan says it straight out, with no shame or moderation:

“One of the paramount purposes of marriage in Michigan — and at least 37 other states that define marriage as a union between a man and a woman — is, and has always been, to regulate sexual relationships between men and women so that the unique procreative capacity of such relationships benefits rather than harms society.”

Got that? They are saying that they have the right to be bedroom police. And this is not some random pundit flapping his yap; this is an official court filing by attorneys for the state of Michigan. (Never mind that the Constitution says nothing at all about Government having such power.)

Even the most Leftish of all Liberal Dems haven’t been THAT f***ing intrusive (pun intended). And these ”Republicans” say that they are in favor of smaller government??? Bulls***. It doesn’t get more Big Brother than monitoring our bedrooms."


More at the above link, including a link to the actual court filing.

I saw this first on DU: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023694246 and decided to throw it out to the Blogosphere at large. Thanks to bearssoapbox!
