Rand Paul has been known to not support gay marriage and, considering his Conservative outlook, is not particularly shocking. However, Rand commented that there is a;
"moral crisis that allows people to think there would be some other sort of marriage"A bit aggressive in the way of policy. Anything else to add that could have some push back? Paul also added;
"The First Amendment keeps government out of religion. It doesn't say keep religion out of the government."Although it may be understandable what Paul is trying to say, he's wrong. Religion is notoriously a dangerous factor to be involved in government. Taking a step back in time, religion was the direct cause of the excommunication of Galileo, and the burning of Nicolaus Copernicus and Giordano Bruno.
Despite this, Paul called for a new " Great Awakening, with tent revivals.". While a large portion of the Conservative population (which, in itself, is only 26% of the population) would be inclined to defend these comments, Paul has effectively cut out a large number of moderate voters from his favor.
That's all I have to say today, but I'll be back tomorrow.
