The attack on traditional marriage advanced a step this past Wednesday when the Senate Judiciary Committee passed S.598.
Ultraliberal California Senator Dianne Feinstein’s (D-CA) bill that would completely eradicate the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and the protections it affords taxpayers and the majority of state’s voters who have decided to define marriage as between one man and one woman.
DOMA is already being defied by the Obama Administration in that the White House has brazenly admitted that it will not uphold and execute it as is their Constitutional duty. Truly the arrogance and hubris of this president is without bounds.
S.598, the misleadingly titled “Respect for Marriage Act” not only disrespects American’s across the country who want to protect traditional marriage–and have done as much in the 31 states which have passed statewide referendums in favor of marriage–it will also require your tax dollars go to pay for the federal benefits and subsidies of gay couples, irrespective of where they live, who have gotten “married” in 6 states that allow it.
Marriage is not some benefit or perk that liberals can award to a small, vocal, deviant special interest group.
Marriage between one man and one woman was created prior to the formation of any governments and is given benefits by governments because it uniquely contributes to a productive society. Trying to change the definition to fit some misguided concept can only cause harm to the very fabric of society.
