Rush Limbaugh said on his radio show today that conservatives have lost on the issue of marriage, Mediaite reports.
“This issue is lost,” he said. “It is now inevitable” that gay marriage will come to pass, regardless of how the Supreme Court rules on two separate cases related to the issue.
“We lost the issue when we started allowing the word ‘marriage' to be bastardized and redefined,” Limbaugh explained, pointing the finger at “the left,” whom he believes has attempted to co-opt the word “marriage” to go beyond its definition.
“Once you decide to modify the word marriage then the other side has won,” he lamented. “The best thing that marriage had going for it was basically what they teach you the first day in law school: If you hang on a horse the sign that says ‘Cow,' it does not make it a cow.”
Limbaugh also claimed that conservative wishes to protect 'traditional marriage' had nothing to do with discrimination.
