For a majority of those here at Free Republic, this is not only a military matter, but a spiritual matter. Armageddon is coming, we just hoped our nation wasn’t going to be on the wrong side of that judgment of God. Legalizing an abomination to God, is participation in God’s eyes, and our openly stating NO is our affirmation that what is evil and destructive in God’s eyes, is evil and destructive in our eyes. Not too long ago I would be rending my coat and throwing dust onto my head. Right now, I am in mourning, again, over the outright destruction of the principles upon which this once great nation was built. The foundation is not cracking, it is being annihilated.
Appreciate your response. As an attach on religious values and traditionalism, I understand the oppositon, and agree. How much of a precedent this becomes for other federal “rights” is yet to be seen. I understand the argument, but those discussions lie ahead, and we have a chance to elect leaders who will represent the religious and traditional viewpoints. Hopefully we will do so.
