Protecting Marriage and Traditional Families: It's time to make a stand

Last week, Jack Cafferty gave a short report on CNN's Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer.  I don't usually watch the news (I prefer to read) and I never watch the Communist News Network because the bias is apparent it is an insult to my intelligence.  Here is the text of Cafferty's comments:                                                                                                                                               

Wolf, Today’s lesson in hypocrisy comes to us courtesy of the Senate Judiciary Committee. They met in a different private room behind closed doors today and approved a Constitutional Amendment banning gay marriage. at one point the thing got pretty ugly. A shouting match, between the Republican Chairman Senator Arlen Spector and Democratic Senator Russ Feingold, who said he was against the Amendment as well as Spector’s decision to hold the vote in a private room out of the public’s view.

These guys are shameless. Feingold eventually stormed out telling Spector “I’ve enjoyed your lecture Mr Chairman. See ya.”

Senator Spector in a real show of courage, says that he is “totally opposed to the Amendment”, but he voted for it anyway saying that it deserves a debate in the Senate. Majority Leader Bill Frist says the full Senate will now debate a Constitutional Amendment which has absolutely no chance of passing. Frist hopes to have a vote by June 5th.

This is all being done by the republican majority in an effort to appeal to Right-wing nuts in the Republican Party ahead of the upcoming mid-term elections. Ignore all of the pressing issues facing the country, and instead go grovel at the feet of the lunatic fringe. Senator Frist should be very proud of himself. That’s leadership. Here’s the question: Is now the time for the Senate to consider a constitutional Amendment on gay marriage?”

You will notice the fair and balanced treatment given to conservatives on CNN.  Nice.  Definitely, no liberal media bias there...(eye roll)  Here's a fact for Mr. Cafferty, the "lunatic fringe" on the right outnumbers Gay Americans to the extent that your left fringe has to subvert democracy through activist judges to get social approbation.  Let's get real here, Jack!  For a group so enthralled with protecting the disenfranchised, you are perfectly willing to ignore the votes of the large majority of Americans who recognize homosexuality as the social illness that it is.

The simple truth here is this:

This Judiciary Committee approval comes two days after Georgia Superior Court Judge Constance C. Russell single-handedly invalidated the Georgia Marriage Protection Amendment, which was passed by 76% of Georgians at the ballot box. Social engineers of the activist judiciary movement want to remake our nation in their preferred image and they are disenfranchising every voter that disagrees with the far left's anything goes system of ethics and morality.  Click here to speak out for family values.

  2. And while I used to agree that this was a states' issue - the out-of-control bench legislators have made it clear that our votes don't matter - the only way now is with the amendment.
