Marriage may be a covenant, but legally speaking, it is nothing more than a contract.

Perhaps the very institution of marriage should be opened up to a little bit of healthy market competition from other contractual arrangements.

As seen in Part 1, political terms, such as liberal, conservative or libertarian, are muddled enough. Unfortunately, political organizations, popular terms and ideologies have many of the same issues.

Democrats were the party of slavery and Jim Crow, before becoming the party of Civil Rights and Affirmative Action.
