Various states are passing or trying to pass laws restricting gay marriage. I've already said what I think of gay marriage but I do worry about the future of Texas.
If Texas is on the verge of being a purple state then it would probably be only a matter of time before it becomes a blue state. If that happens then the three highest populated states would then be blue (apparently Florida is also on the verge of being purple) and they would have enough clout to almost push any agenda they want.
I'm a conservative but I don't want all of the states to be red either. Quite a few of the "liberal" views I'm all for and if the majority of states are red then the Republican party would oppose many of them. Much like if most of the states are blue then I bet quite a few Democrats would oppose some of the bills and laws passed through.
When the Founding Fathers created our system of government they put in a series of checks and balances, currently I think that the most effective check we have is our inability to agree on anything.
