NATIONAL REVIEW RESPONDS TO CONSERVATIVE SUPPORTERS OF SSM

[includes replies to David Brooks, Jonah Goldberg, David Horowitz, and George Will]

In the weeks since the Massachusetts supreme court decided to impose gay marriage on the state, social conservatives have been losing the political debate over the issue. Already the language is changing. Democratic presidential candidates have even started referring to "non-same-sex marriage," and columnists to "op-sex marriage"--by which they mean what we all used to describe, before November, simply as "marriage." ...

If social conservatives are told that the issues that most concern them, notably abortion and gay marriage, are going to be settled by the courts; that they have no political recourse; and that the Republican party is not going to stir itself to do anything about the situation--well, then, it will be awfully hard to explain to them why they should show up at the voting booth, let alone lick envelopes and knock on doors through the fall, to help the party.
