An Open Forum: Ohio Politics contributor wrote in part today the following:
“gay marriage amendment [actually, and more truthfully, the Marriage Protection Amendment] is that it demonstrates the inability of those in power to address the issues that really matter to the public. . . resolving Iraq . . reducing the deficit . . .energy independence . . . preparing the workforce to be competitive . . . uninsured . . . immigration reform . . .deal with natural disasters . . .”
My response included the following:
It is a Marriage Protection Amendment first and foremost. It is not some so-called homophobic reactionary discriminatory hate-filled attempt to keep someone oppressed. Homosexuality is primarily a behavioral choice, it deserves no civil rights protection anymore than a thief, a burglar, a child molester, an embezzler, a corrupt judge should incur any special favor. It is absolutely illogical to protect such an abomination (God’s words not mine). Homosexuality is in no way deserving of any special class protection or any special civil rights protections.
Nothing wrong with your problem list . . . (above), but Marriage is a core value of this nation. Without it we are less of a society. It is fundamental and foundational to American life and society.
I really think that a meaningful vision, mission and values for any individual, company, organization or nation are foundational to any individual, company, organization or culture. If we have a strong, clear vision, mission and values - core beliefs that identify the culture, it will allow us to do the right thing in facing any and all of those issues.
It is the principled politician and a principled public that will collectively make the right decisions on the issues you name. Therefore, let us now examine ourselves individually and as a nation ad take back the freedoms and rights and values and beliefs that once defined us as a godly nation, including the exclusivity of heterosexual marriage. It is the only way it is God's way. We have been greatly blessed since our birth as a nation, despite some shortcomings, but we have been most blessed because for most of our national life we have been firm on our convictions. We knew right from wrong. Now some have mucked up, muddied and polluted the figurative waters of the life of this nation.
Let us make A Good Choice and call our Senators and urge them to do all they can to pass the Marriage Protection Amendment at this time in history. May it give us a renewed impetus to restore other core values stolen from us by the immoral minority including radical feminism, radical environmentalist, radical homosexuals, extreme leftlist liberals groups and politicians, activist judges, and secular humanist educators . . . to name a few. Let’s take back the America and make our Forefathers proud once again, before it is eternally too late.
