On Tuesday, Pat Kerby, a Republican delegate from Nevada, offered an amendment to the Republican Party's platform draft that would have ended the party's support for the Defense of Marriage Act and put in its place a strong defense of individual liberties.

Silly indeed. And what drove folks like myself away from the party. I no longer (and haven't for some time) consider myself a "conservative" Republican but rather a libertarian. Political definitions continue to evolve, or devolve depending upon one's view. "Conservative" now barely resembles "conservative" from my high school/college years. (And in CT, that was me rebelling against my parents and society.
