The Culture Wars

Good evening, Netizens...


David Horsey states in today's cartoon that while the culture war between the Republicans and Democrats may be over a diverse number of issues, the recent ruling by a California judge that approves of gay marriage could be the the hammer that hit the nail on the head. Or could it?


The Republican Party is particularly hostile toward same-sex marriages, so it stands to reason that their party platform could rise to the occasion during upcoming elections, and make that an election issue. Conversely the Democrats could easily get a strong party platform in favor of gay marriage.


The issue, however, may not be decided until this contentious battle is determined, perhaps eventually by the Supreme Court. There is quite a battle brewing. Which way do you think the courts will eventually rule?
