Rift between political conservatives and mainstream values continues to diverge

Ah, Karl Rove. Keep talking. Your "Permanent Republican Majority" isn't coming any sooner than the Rapture.

The majority of Americans are okay with this.

Two news stories buried in the back pages were incredibly significant nonetheless. On the same day that Tennessee's State Senate voted to forbid any discussion of homosexuality in kindergarten through 8th grade classes, Gallup released a poll that showed a majority of Americans approving of same-sex marriage. That's right. More than half the country wants to hear to guys--or girls--say, "I do."

While I have no doubt that older generations of Americans felt a sincere reservation towards the subject, it was disgusting to watch crass individuals like Rove try to gin up opposition to equal marriage rights while timid Democrats timidly looked at the polls and failed to articulate the right thing. Six and half years later, public opinion has understandably shifted. Gay marriage, along with higher taxes on the rich,
a one-way plane ticket home for our men and women in Afghanistan, and increased regulation of the financial sector, is a majority opinion in the United States.

Just like the photo above, love is love

George McGovern better start filing his papers before it's too late!
