Good sense has
prevailed, for now.
What intrigues me is that the rush to amend the Constitution in order to
restrict freedom is expressly contrary to the supposed philosophy of
true Conservatives, yet so-called Conservatives worked the hardest to
enact this change. Interesting.

The proof will be in the pudding. If the Lefties try and challenge
the DOMA under the 14th Amendment,
then their agenda will be clear, and only a new amendment to the Constitution
will protect States’ rights for self-determination.

But that’s a very different issue from Santorum’s holier-than-thou prohibition
amendment. The amendment, as proposed, would have stripped individual states of
their right to define marriage. If the amendment had forbidden the Federal
government from creating a nationwide definition of marriage, then it would have
been on much stronger footing, historically speaking.

The real perversion is the attempts by the Left to redefine marriage.

Actually, the real perversion is the attempt by the Right to redefine
Campaign 2004 as a crusade for the soul of America.
If we’re really interested in protecting marriage by Constitutional amendment,
then why was no mention made of the penalties for heterosexual infidelity or
spousal abuse? Don’t these present a much greater danger to Our Oldest
Institution than homosexuals? And it’s not an “apples and oranges” issue;
either we intend the amendment to protect marriage, or we do not.
Dave!
