>>The real question that needs to be asked is this: "Are leftist Christophobes and Christ haters using Gibson's film as an opportunity to carry out their intolerant, Christian bashing?"
Exactly. The "defense" mechanism of the right is baffling. The libs always come up with off-the-wall idea that wouldn't make it through any legislature. Future examples: "let's do away with Thanksgiving" - or "tear down the jails and release prisoners - look at all the money we'll save."
Then - the defense starts....and a friendly judge somewhere makes it legal.
Take same sex marriage as an example ---
Marriage is not a constitutional issue - other than it is --- by the 10th Amendment - a State issue. Iowa's legislature could allow the blissful union of two-headed frogs if desired.
However, if ever there was a clear example of something that belongs in the legislature - this is it. The two-headed frogs in Kansas are out of luck. So we think. The Kansas toads do an end-around and redefine the word marriage, find a sympathetic judge, and bypass the legislature.
Now what to we do?
Now what to we do?Hey, long imt no see/read!
I'm usually a strong supporter of states rights, but on the subject of gay marriage, I'm one of those who definitely support a Federal Constitutional Amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman. It then would not be a states rights issue by definition, of course.
I think if we don't add an amendment we will be asking for serious "constitutional" trouble (rather "judicial activist" trouble). Full Faith and credit will be be used "successfully" by leftist judges to override state bans, etc.
Also, our cultural decline will go into an even faster nosedive without an amendment.
