Paul Ryan Promises to fight Gay Equality
Well people, if we have learned anything from this article it's that Paul Ryan is not very worldly. During an interview with Jim Daly, President of Focus on the Family, a notorious anti-gay group, Paul Ryan reassured them that he would, "protect traditional marriage and the rule of law and we will provide the Defense of Marriage Act the proper defense in the courts that it deserves." If you wish to listen to the audio it is in the link.
The most important thing I take away from this is my thankfulness of state's rights. Remember, states control a good portion of power in the United States. We have a duty to act as we fill fit, and further to remember that our votes can truly change things. Hooray for state's rights!

The problem with states rights are the fact that they can abuse them. Think if we would have left slavery to the states, Mississippi would probably have slaves into the 20th century.
But we hadn't, that's where the amendment process comes into play. Rights not reserved to the federal government are reserved to the states. Sure they can be abused, but that's part of what checks an balances are for. The Feds check the states and visa versa.
