Why Does Obama Hate Marriage?

Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


What DOMA did protect voters against was sexual activists who attempted to have those faux marriages later ratified in states where they moved to.

But now Barack Obama wants to carry the mantle of the sexual activists and advance the cause of changing the institution of marriage to make it something it has never been before.

Perhaps it is important to note what it has always been: one man, one woman, in sexual monogamous fidelity for life. It was established by God for three purposes, to civilize men, to protect women, and to nurture children. Thusly a society - even a nation - can continue to exist for generations.

Barack Obama has tasted some of the fruit of that union. His attractive wife, and beautiful daughters provide him a reminder of the goodness that God has granted him, by His grace.

It seems to me at the very least indignant, and at worst arrogant for Obama to desire to work so hard to destroy that simple institution that God has given him so much joy in.

So why does he?

Well, it is an election year...

And homosexual couples do make nearly six times the average income of your normal married couple...

Prominent gay activists also hold many influential places of power in broadcast and print media industries...

Could it just be that even though he has the picture of a storybook family and marriage, that in reality Barack Obama just wants power and will destroy the institution of marriage to get it?

Is that why?

re: Gestell
So are you saying that the principles on which this country was founded are less important than being "conservative"? That's what it would seem.

How about some Ronald Reagan then:

"I hope we have once again reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There's a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts."

"If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals -- if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is."

"In an atmosphere of liberty, artists and patrons are free to think the unthinkable and create the audacious; they are free to make both horrendous mistakes and glorious celebrations."

some Bill Buckley:
"A well-disciplined society needs few laws; but it needs strong mores."

Note that he doesn't say "strongly enforced laws forcing people to subscribe to my moral code".

Sorry if that's not in your encyclopedia, but I consider the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence to be a little more important...

Grammar Please!
I'd much rather read The Rude Pundit, because a profanity-laced, yet well-constructed, piece does not at least assault the English language the way this screed does. To whit:

How do you punish a voice, a voice “who” has rights?

Why are you calling yourself “disagreeable” (although I’m not in disagreement)?

When you want to eliminate something completely, you want it banned altogether, not all together, although both may apply in the case of this column.

To “send the message otherwise” refers to the means of delivery, not the contents.

Your sixth grade teacher would be ashamed to see “prefer for” rather than “prefer”, although s/he would probably be ashamed of much more than that.

You can discipline yourself or control your choices, but you can’t discipline your choices.

It’s is correct when it’s a contraction of “it is”; the possessive form is its.

Further examples abound; suffice it to say that you insult the reader’s intelligence in more ways than one.
