It is sort of an ultimate proof that the concept of equality cannot be kept within rational and sane limits, as American conservatives have always believed it can be. Once equality becomes the ruling political and moral principle of a society, it will proceed over time, notwithstanding all objections to the contrary, to demand the equalization of everything. Thus that supreme statement of classical liberalism in its American incarnation, the Declaration of Independence, with its idea of an inherent equality of rights among human beings, has evolved over time into a radical egalitarian doctrine of equality of results among all human beings and the destruction of all distinctions, including the very distinctions upon which the rights were originally based. The limited idea of equality that moved the Founders, that no man by birth should be better than another under law or custom, has evolved into the cultural-Marxist idea that nothing is better than anything else.
Thus, according to the emergent understanding, to say that marriage is by definition and through all of human history between a man and a woman, is to say that marriage between a man and a woman is better than "marriage" between two people of the same sex and thus should be allowed while the latter should not be allowed. And such a position is anti-equality and therefore immoral and invalid.
Ultimately equality swallows itself, since liberals reject the idea that equality as defined by the American tradition is better than, say, Islamic law. Islam, the antithesis and mortal enemy of our tradition, must be treated as equally true and valid as our tradition, leading to the destruction of our tradition along with all of its ideas of equality, whether the classical liberal equality of rights or the modern liberal equality of sexual choice.
It is questionable whether conservatives can do anything to stop this mad progress of liberal logic to ultimate destruction. Perhaps the best we can do is continue to point out the truth about liberalism and offer an alternative vision of society, so that when the liberal system finally crashes, or when it crashes in the conscience of each individual liberal, there will be a non-liberal alternative for liberals to turn to.

When a Liberal says "equality" they mean equality of result.
Conservatives mean "equality" of process.
Its not hard to explain if you can think. But liberals can't.

Well Liberalism is mental disorder. ::hysterical:: ::hysterical:: ::whoohoo::

Equality of Outcomes <> Equality of Opportunity
Social Justice <> Equal Justice
Therefore:
Equality of Outcomes == Social Justice
Equality of Opportunity == Equal Justice

Insane liberalism. Yeah, like there is sane liberalism?
::hysterical::
Equality of outcome = Tyranny of the minority
Equality of outcome = Social justice
Therefor social justice = Tyranny
