No need to join the 21st Century

I wrote yesterday that the Republican National Committee will be holding a meeting over the next few days. One of their actions will likely be a vote to confirm marriage as one man, one woman.

Leaders of 13 anti-gay groups wrote a letter to the RNC saying by golly, you had better pledge loyalty to the Defense of Marriage Act (even if the Supremes overturn it) and a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. The letter goes on to say (my paraphrase): The party shouldn't give up what is right just to please the youngsters. We don't need to give up orthodoxy for a bigger tent because there are gay conservative groups in the GOP (never mind they weren't invited to CPAC this year). The party needs to be better with its communications to avoid some of the gaffes made last year.

Sorry, dearie, better communication won't help your cause. We understand your position perfectly -- and soundly reject it.
