Liberal Attacks, Republican Pandering, and the Defense of Marriage Act

By Douglas V. Gibbs

One of the favorite conservative issues that the liberal left progressive ignoramuses love to attack is the "family values" platform of the Republican Party. Recently, an attack by neurotic Tom spelled out that the GOP "leadership is just pandering to you on the whole gay thing. The federal marriage amendment that Bush proposed. . . He knew it would never gain any traction. It was pure pandering. Bush isn't anti-gay, and doesn't actually think gay people threaten family values. The vast majority of the Republican leadership is the same way."

In another comment, Tom wrote: "Reagan's pro-family social policies include having a gay son that he loved very much. It's kind of like Dick Cheney's pro-family social policies including his gay daughter that he obviously cares for very deeply and accepts exactly as she is."

Is Tom suggesting that if a child acts in a way that the parent disapproves of the parent should just stop loving their child? And if the parent does not stop loving their child that means they approve of the lifestyle? Wow!

Anyhow, let's get something straight here. I really don't give a hoot if you are gay. I believe it to be a perversion, but that is my own personal opinion. Unlike liberals, conservatives don't just make laws to eliminate what they disagree with. You can be gay. It's your prerogative. I really don't care if you are gay, other than that in my opinion for being gay you are a sexually immoral pervert.

My beef is not that you are gay, but that gays try to force their belief onto everyone else, while complaining if a child takes a Bible to school because that is, in their opinion, that Christian trying to force Christianity upon everyone. A teacher, according to these people, can't put a cross on her desk, but she can try to justify homosexuality, and force her pro-gay agenda on all children. In other words, the gay belief that homosexuality is normal behavior, according to gays, should receive preferential treatment, while all opposing views must be silenced.

Oh, yeah, that's real freedom.

As for the comment about the federal marriage amendment, and we'll throw the Defense of Marriage Act in there too, the premise is wrong, therefore the comments left by liberal Tom are completely wrong as well (hence the reason they get denied).

I disagreed with Bush's federal marriage amendment, and I do not support the Defense of Marriage Act.

What the Republicans believe about homosexuality at the federal level does not concern me as long as they keep the federal government out of the issue. DOMA is unconstitutional because the federal government does not have the authority to make laws regarding marriage, or sexuality, and the federal government should never have that authority. As per the Tenth Amendment, the issue belongs to each individual State.

Yes, that means that in my opinion the federal courts have no jurisdiction over the issue, and the Proposition 8 case should have stopped at the California Supreme Court.

Next, the liberals will pull the 14th Amendment into the argument, saying that the amendment makes it a federal power.

Wrong. The 14th Amendment only applies to race. And the liberals know it.

If the 14th Amendment applied to gender, sexuality, and the like, then the leftists would not have proposed the Equal Rights Amendment for women, they would have simply referenced the 14th Amendment. However, the leftist feminists knew that the 14th Amendment only applies to race, so they proposed a whole new amendment.

Honestly, I don't care if Republicans have gay family members. The sickness of homosexuality has spread so far that we all have been touched by its immorality. I have family members too, that claim to be gay. I love those people, accept them for who they are, care for them, spend time with them, and remind them that what they are doing is immoral. They respect my opinion, and don't take it as a personal rejection.

A difference of opinion is healthy.
