	Jonathan Rauch on The Paula Gordon Show
		Rauch champions gay marriage as the trifecta of social policy: a win-win-win which is good for gays, good for straights and good for America.
		Rauch concludes, is not really about sex or gender, it's about what he calls "coupledom." Ultimately, it's not about the gender of the person we love, he insists, it's about the fact that the human heart needs marriage.
		Rauch applauds real progress in American where the public is deeply engaged in a discussion of gay marriage, after many centuries of persecution and sweeping homosexuality under the rug.

	Demosclerosis by Jonathan Rauch - A Book Review by Scott London
		Jonathan Rauch defines "demosclerosis" as "government's progressive loss of the ability to adapt." In this sharp and masterfully argued analysis, he describes it as a side-effect of the postwar style of politics that emphasizes interest-group activism and redistributive programs.
		Rauch's principal argument is based on the work of economist Mancur Olson.
		As Rauch points out, "it is scarcely an exaggeration to say that, in Washington, every program lasts forever." Under these conditions, it becomes practically impossible for the government to experiment with new programs because interest-groups mobilize their forces to preserve their version of the status quo.

	Amazon.com: Gay Marriage: Why It Is Good for Gays, Good for Straights, and Good for America: Books: Jonathan Rauch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Jonathan Rauch's book is another contribution to the debate and, to his credit, he does provide a slightly different slant on the issue from what I've read in other books.
		Rauch, a correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly, columnist for National Journal, and a writer-in-residence at the Brookings Institution, tends to de-emphasize the all-too-common "equal rights" argument and suggests, instead, that gay marriage would be good for American society because it would increase respect for the institution of marriage itself.
		Rauch is a leading author and contributor to numerous magazines, including the prestigious "National Journal." He is often identified as a "libertarian" and less often as a "conservative." I consider Rauch to be one of the leading writers, gay or straight, in America today.

	Gay Marriage: Why It Is Good for Gays, Good for Straights, and Good for America, by Jonathan Rauch
		Rauch is one of America's most original and incisive social commentators, and here he explains why gay marriage is important -- even crucial -- to the health of marriage as an institution, grounding his argument in mainstream values.
		"Jonathan Rauch's reasoned and passionate brief for gay marriage, his wholehearted embrace of the obligations and traditions of marriage itself, and his compelling cautions against civil union alternatives to marriage will stand as a defining argument in the upcoming struggle over same-sex marriage.
		Jonathan Rauch is a correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly, a senior writer and columnist for National Journal, and a writer in residence at the Brookings Institution.

	DOASKDOTELL BOOK REVIEW of Jonathan Rauch
		Jonathan Rauch provided several essays in the 1996 book Beyond Queer: Challenging the Gay Left Orthodoxy, from the Free Press, edited by Bruce Bawer, one of these essays being “Who Need Marriage?” Rauch has provided many columns in moderate-to-conservative publications, as well as books (Kindly Inquisitors: The New Attacks on Free Thought, 1993).
		However, Rauch first builds his cast-iron case that gay marriage is a win-win for everyone.
		Rauch points out that there are many children being raised in same sex couple households, and these children should have the indirect benefits of marriage from their parents.

	Columns: Why gay marriage is good for conservatism
		Rauch argues that society would be doing far more damage to these conservative values either by trying to legally repress homosexual relationships or by offering gays some form of domestic partnership or civil union - what he calls "marriage-lite" - than by simply granting homosexuals the right to enter into full-fledged marriages.
		As to children, Rauch responds to those who say that marriage is for procreation by reminding them that sex is for procreation, marriage is for building families.
		Rauch says that, "from society's point of view, an unattached person is an accident waiting to happen." Marriage means there will be a support system in place to address a sudden illness, an accident or a bout of unemployment.

		A former correspondent for the Economist, Rauch is a writer in residence at the Brookings Institution in Washington, where he spoke with TWQ editor Charlotte Hays.
		RAUCH: Pornography is a slightly more complicated case because formal law has always been involved in regulating pornography, and, in fact, used to be more involved than it is today.
		RAUCH: Along with adultery, assisted suicide is an interesting example of the profound delicacy and elegance of Hidden Law.

	Positive Liberty » Blog Archive » Jonathan Rauch: Hayek and Gay Marriage
		Jonathan Rauch has a piece in Reason Online that shows very well why he has emerged as one of the premier advocates of same-sex marriage.
		Rauch’s piece above complicates the situation, though, because Hayek was emphatically not a supporter of change for change’s sake alone; on the contrary, he often favored incremental changes, based on the fundamentally conservative notion that the existing social structures have probably evolved for reasons that we can’t fully comprehend ourselves.
		Rauch considers what Hayek’s thought might tell us about the gay marriage debate–using a light touch, and none of the crude anachronism that I’ve complained about in the past.

		Rauch’s suggestions, give the superstitious unwashed a couple of lines in a meaningless document (the party platform), come from a point about 20+ years ago when the center-left still had power to give.
		Rauch understood biblical parables, he would look up the one of the rich manager and realize the center-left’s precarious state and start trading what remains of MSM prestige to ensure he has a place to go.

	Jonathan Rauch (www.gaychurch.org)
		Rauch actually supports the steady-as-she-goes, state-by-state advancement of gay marriage, believing that "same sex marriage will work best when people accept and understand it, whereas a sudden national enactment, where it suddenly to happen, might spark a culture war on the order of the abortion battle." Might?
		It says a lot about Rauch's temperance that he doesn't forecast an inevitably fractious future for the nation while it sorts through the implications of gay weddings.
		There are more impassioned perspectives on the issue, but Rauch's positive approach advances the issue with a welcome cool headedness that actually suits the controversy.

	Ex Nihilo: Jonathan Rauch on Kerry's Need for Strength (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Jonathan Rauch (a fine author whom I had the pleasure of meeting recently--he is a witty guy) has an excellent article up on National Journal about the need for a change in Democratic strategy on national security in the coming election.
		Rauch points out that Kerry is gaining on Bush on issues of national security, the war on terror and the war on Iraq--and Kerry should exploit this gain as the economy turns and Bush enjoys a more favorable economic outlook.
		Rauch contends that, like John F. Kennedy, Kerry should push hard on national security, not from the left, but from the right.

	Jonathan Rauch vs. Stanley Kurtz on gay marriage on National Review Online
		Kurtz charges that it would be very hard ever to persuade me that a state gay-marriage experiment failed, and that I "will clearly oppose a rollback, on principle, anytime before the next 50 years." Here, I think, Kurtz again misapprehends federalist (and democratic) principle.
		The question isn't what Jonathan Rauch or Stanley Kurtz or any other pointy-head thinks of a state's experience with gay marriage; the question is what the people of that state and of other states think.
		The whole point of a federalist approach is that it lets the voters of the states decide what sort of arrangement counts as a social-policy success.

		Then there is the Jonathan Rauch plan, a two-track system that combines the benefits of deregulation (cut red tape) with the benefits of public financing (candidates needn't be professional fundraisers and special-interest dependents).
		I would provide generous public financing for candidates who didn't raise or accept private money (though parties could raise it for them), but---unlike the "clean money" reformers---I would also eliminate all limits except disclosure on candidates who decided to finance their campaigns privately.

		Anyway, Rauch gave a pretty good demonstration of the brutality of polygamy in the Arizona Mormon story.
