Exactly!
I wonder if the baby will ever know his/her father. One thing is for sure, the baby will never be able to get truthful instruction in morality. How sad. In fact, he/she will be raised to defend what is an abomination to God. How very VERY sad! The role models for the child will be immoral, so as the child role plays, as children always do, the tot will pretend to be a homosexual. Again, how sad and tragic.
Angry that Jesus didn't yell at the woman at the well and throw her down the well? That he allowed the woman of questionable repute to wash his feet? That he told the parable of the prodigal son being welcomed by his father? That he didn't have the adulterous woman stoned?
Was he a moral relativist, too?
There is a difference between making the best of an imperfect situation/being civil and endorsing/promoting.
If these two people love the child, and provide a warm and nurturing home I will be satisfied. There are plenty of traditional homes that having both a mother and father, have enough love and consideration for their children to put in your eye and have enough room left over for the First, Fifth and Tenth Infantry Divisions of the Chinese army.
If they (the "partners")are happy and the child is loved, happy and well cared for, who am I or anyone else to offer a complaint or interference into the personal affairs of others whose livelihood and maintainance I/we do not contribute to.
No, it's not.
President Bush was wise to avoid becoming a punching bag over Mary Cheney per se. Bush was not defending what Mary Cheney has done. Any conservative who does defend Mary Cheney is being hypocritical, but I don't think any conservatives have defended her behavior. The lefties would love to make these battles personal, but the issue is over the objective morality of behavior, not over particular people. I think Mary Cheney does deserve condemnation, but I don't think President Bush should take the bait on this particular issue.
What is he supposed to say? He is stuck in a diplomatic check mate here.
I have always suspected that Lynn Cheny and her daughter were the weak ones in the WH position on the Federal Marriage Amendment.
The Foley scandal has taughts us all well, we need to expose the homosexual staffers whereever they may be to ensure we know who and what we have in our midst.
