That's What You've Got?

A talking elephant head on ABC news tonight, complaining that the president's refusal to continue enforcing the Defense of Marriage act, takes issue with this approach to "an institution that existed before the United States" ...

Ohhhh honey.

Polygyamy existed before the United States. History is in fact somewhat FAMOUS for things which are now archaic. Get it? And if you want to invoke history as some sort of "defense" of the DoM act, do remember the million teeth it has, to bite you in the behind, Hoss. If you protest your fondness for things that predate the US, you might just be forced to review the association I can only presume you have, for the Tea Party - an institution which, by the way, takes its very name from an act of revolution against institutions which existed before the United States and which (sullied though its name has become) actually gave birth to said country.

Existed before the United States. That is actually IMPRESSIVELY weak.
