Thanks to President Bush for taking a strong stand against those who wish to defy the will of the people. The “civil disobedience” on display in San Francisco has only confirmed for many conservative Americans what we already knew: Our culture, our values and our moral standards are under attack by the liberal left.
This issue was forced upon us, despite the fact that the majority of Americans are against redefining marriage.
In response to liberal attempts to portray any criticism and opposition to gay marriage as something based in hatred, nothing could be further from the truth. The laws of the land identify marriage as the legal union of a man and a woman. Polls across the country indicate that a majority of our fellow citizens agree with this definition.
If the homosexual community wishes to change the law, then its members should proceed through legal channels.
What we’ve witnessed in San Francisco is evidence that the homosexual agenda refuses to respect our laws and we cannot allow for the courts to legislate from the bench.
Furthermore attempts by the homosexual community to compare their plight to that of Jews or blacks in history is an insult to what those groups were forced to endure.
Civil unions allow for the same basic rights that marriages afford except in name. That is hardly oppressive.
Since the homosexual community wished to push the envelope, an amendment is our only recourse. Passage of this amendment will send a strong message to those who wish to see the continued decline of our society’s values and norms.
We’re not going to sit idly by anymore. There is no hatred involved here but love of our country. A line has been drawn in the sand and we’re fighting back.
We also feel that the F-word and Janet Jackson’s breast have no place on network airwaves.
We are in the midst of a cultural civil war.
If we don’t take a stand, we might wake up in 20 years to find fellow citizens married to two women or a farm animal.
After all, if we alter the definition of marriage to include this group, why should the rights of polygamists or proponents of bestiality be denied?
Is that the kind of America we want to leave for our children?
Not on my watch.
