For those at the top of the right wing food chain this whole to do is about controlling their forces. Giving them a cause and some 'others' to hate on. This keeps the troops in line. This keeps the troops from asking questions. This keeps the troops spending time and money on yet another battle while their leadership steals their rights, their money, their future.
And when this battle ends another will be ginned up. Maybe from some of the old standards such as abortion or guns. Maybe a new outrage will appear out of whole cloth, no doubt something that accuses democrats of not having enough patriotism.
And while these right wingers are focused on battles that mean little in reality, our national focus is diverted and the nation continues to deteriorate as we slip to a third world status.
And in the end the right wing leaders couldn't care less about gay marriage. It is but another tool in their arsenal of control.
