While the President has been conducting his dog-and-pony show from the White House Briefing Room berating the House Republicans for their fiscal inflexibility and Rupert Murdoch is being demonized and we continue to bomb Libya in support of I
don’t know who, I thought of this lyric from Gordon Lightfoot:
“When you’re caught by the gale and you’re
full under sail, Beware of the dangers below.”
The danger below is this regime’s open advocacy of Same Sex Marriage.
The Obama administration had already said it would not defend the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in court because it had concluded that it is unconstitutional. But Press Secretary Jay Carney on Tuesday went further, saying President Obama is “proud to support” the Respect for Marriage Act (ROMA), legislation by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), to overturn the 15-year-old law.
How appropriate that Mrs. Feinstein from the land of fruits and nuts would sponsor the Respect for Marriage Act which flies in the face of morality. Feinstein is now one of 27 co-sponsors, none Republican, supporting repeal.
The Defense of Marriage Act passed both chambers of Congress by overwhelming margins and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton.
The Respect for Marriage Act is a legislative vehicle designed to overturn DOMA. The repeal law would mandate that the 1,100 federal rights, privileges, and benefits currently available only to heterosexual married couples must be guaranteed to same-sex married couples as well. In short, it would use your tax dollars to extend the rights and privileges of those who choose to live a deviant, immoral lifestyle.
Despite the president’s action, DOMA continues to enjoy overwhelming support in Congress and among many Americans. “Congress rightly recognized that the lifelong, faithful union of a man and a woman is the fundamental building block of thriving societies,” Austin Nimocks of the Alliance Defense Fund, which supports DOMA, said in a statement. “The union between husband and wife benefits society – especially children – in unique and special ways that cannot be duplicated by any other relationship.”
Mrs. Feinstein pledged to fight to the end for DOMA’s repeal and to extend full federal benefits to married couples nationwide regardless of their sexual orientation.
“This is not a cause we are going to drop. We are not fainthearts,” she said during a news conference at the National Press Club in Washington. “If we don’t succeed this session, we will try again next session.”
We’ll be here next session too, Mrs. Feinstein to stop you.
