This nation is descending into anarchy. We are going down, and there may be no recovery.

What this country needs is a leader that will stand up to this nonsense. Bush and Schwarzenegger are too afraid of the pc zealots to take a tough stance on the issue. This is a modern day Fall of Rome.

BS.

What is tougher than being againt it? You want President Bush to wield some power he does not possess?

Get real.

Exactly! If President Bush went on national TV and explained this in plain and firm language, the public would rally around him. All he has to do is say that marriage is an institution which is older than government, which celebrates the uniting of the opposite sexes in a natural bond which is also the ideal for raising children.

Then, he should explain how a few unelected judges and publicity-seeking politicians in aberrant precincts are trying to force gay marriage on the whole nation.

Finally, he should endorse the Federal Marriage Amendment and call on John Kerry to take a stand one way or another on the issue. Either Kerry supports gay marriage or he opposes it. He can't be allowed the wiggle room to say he opposes it while simultaneously refusing to support any measure which would stop the aforementioned unelected judges and renegade officials from imposing it.

If Bush did that, it would be a turning point in this fight. It would be the equivalent of Clarence Thomas' decisive refutation of Anita Hill. The left was stunned by the fact that he actually stood up to them, since conservatives rarely fight back. Thomas' courage rallied the Republicans, caused the 'Rats to back down with their tails between their legs, and the result was that Thomas' nomination, which appeared doomed, was saved.

It'll take Clarence Thomas-type courage to stop this lawless gay juggernaut. Mealy-mouthed efforts to appease both sides will end in a complete homosexual victory. The only way to stop this is for President Bush to draw the line and fight. If he does, watch Kerry whine, cry, and scream homophobia for a couple of days, after which he'll fold and endorse the Federal Marriage Amendment.
