National Review's Happy Warrior

April 16, 2013

From RNC honcho Reince Priebus, from the senator from Swing-State Central Rob Portman, and even from the great Charles Murray, the same mournful dirge echoes through the cavernous emptiness of the Republican big tent: Give it up, losers — give it up on illegal immigration, gay marriage, abortion, and maybe Americans under 30, 50, whatever, will consider voting for you, or at any rate consider finding you marginally less repellent.

Maybe. But I'm a wee bit skeptical. As the New York Post's film critic Kyle Smith tweeted: "Just a wild guess, but if we go all-out for gay marriage, I'm thinking the liberals will come up with another reason to hate us."

Undoubtedly. As recently as 2000, when Vermont became the first state to legalize same-sex "civil unions," that was the enlightened, progressive position. A mere 13 years later, to support "civil unions" is to be a "homophobe" and a "hater." Where will received wisdom be in another 13 years?

"With gay marriage," Charles Murray told CPAC, "I think the train has left the station" — and you don't want to be the last guy to climb on the caboose. Yet, even among the stragglers, Republicans are at a disadvantage.
