Making the Abnormal, Normal
The opening shots now fired by President Bush, the Second Front in the Culture War is underway (the First involves the defeat of our domestic enemies who are incapable of recognizing, let alone accepting the existence of evil that is Muslim extremism).
The Defense of Marriage Act is not only desirable but critical in this era of rampant moral relativism; nothing less than the future of the family and our children is at stake. Dennis Prager has described same-gender marriage as "sowing the seeds of destruction of our society.â And if we fail, he has said, "we do not deserve to survive."
Fortunately, the numbers appear in our favor... about 65-35 for those wagering in Vegas. Even the citizens of California have overwhelmingly voted to reject the idea of same-gender marriage. And let us state the issue in that way... it is not "gay marriage"; gay folks have always been able to marry---Rock Hudson, Anne Heche, Hillary Clinton, just to name a few... they just canât marry someone of the same sex.
Same-gender marriage is also as unnecessary as it is irrelevant. The so-called âcivil unionâ can be dashed together by any homosexual couple with more than room-temp IQs. That and a properly constructed will solves their problem and societyâs.
Marriage is social engineering⊠has been for thousands of years. Thus the homosexuals activists who want to change our society want to do so by the further social engineering of marriage. It is the attempted imposition of their will on us, despite the rule of law.
This should be a civil discourse, but the pathological narcissism of the homosexual activists does not allow quiet debate or for a belief in bettering society⊠its only goal is the bending society to the shape they desire.
And make no mistake⊠marriage is not about âloveâ as homosexuals insist.
I am sure that Jebediah Smith loved his six wives; I love my dog.
Beginning in 1849, The State of Utah sought to join the Union. It took 50 years before the Mormons controlling the territory finally and reluctantly acceded to the laws of the United States and ended polygamy; statehood followed.
Marriage is about the good of society⊠not the perceived right of the individual to do as she or she pleases⊠just ask Brigham Young.
So⊠marriage is not up to every Tom, Dick and Harry to define⊠it is defined by religious, historical, societal and mutually agreed-upon tenets that benefit the collective group⊠not the abnormal fringe. | I have nothing against homosexuals unioning civilly. Really, I don't care what they do in their bedrooms, though I'd prefer not to witness it in public parks. But I do worry about the effects of watering down or destroying every institution that goes into making our society what it is, or maybe what it used to be. Our enemy is a strain of Islam that makes the Puritans look frivolous. A hefty part of Western society is presenting a target for them to rail against, going to the other extreme. I'm old enough to remember when creatures known as "bachelors" used to inhabit the earth. Gone now, the way of the brotosauri, the confirmed bachelor lived his or her life, usually rooming with another bachelor "to share expenses." The rest of society wasn't particularly concerned, and bachelors were received in the most proper drawing rooms. There was at the same time a critter known as the "queer," who used to haunt public restrooms and accost people, who wasn't liked. It would have been my preference to go with the polite fiction of the bachelor, but nobody asked me. |
