On Washington Squares, Michael and Daniel discuss the dilemma that same-sex marriage (00:00) presents to conservatives. Daniel lays out (12:35) how civil equality has replaced religious virtue as the basis for marriage. Has gay marriage exposed a philosophical conflict (23:52) between liberalism and democracy? Daniel counsels Christians (30:37) to focus on preserving their way of life rather than seeking political power. The discussion then turns to the presidential election (44:30) and the choice facing anti-war conservatives. Finally, the two discuss how to build effective conservative institutions (53:58) in Washington.
