Regarding the Defense of Marriage Act:
If the Defense of Marriage Act is bigoted, hateful and the all the rest, then why did it pass in Congress overwhelmingly?
And why did some good liberals such as Chuck Schumer, Tom Harkin, and Joe Lieberman vote for it?
And that law was signed by a good Democrat, Bill Clinton.
Why are the liberals getting a pass for their support in passing the Defense of Marriage Act, if that act is on the wrong side of history and bigoted and all that????????
And if it’s so obvious how bad this law is, why didn’t good Democrats repeal it when they had the votes to do so, in the first two years of the Obama administration? I mean, if it’s so obvious what a terrible law this is, why didn’t these Democrats act on what they are saying???????
It was a liberal ploy, designed to provide breathing time for the left, much like “:Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”
Political cowardice has caused the Democrats to be officially against gay marriage, but political correctness has caused the Democrats to do everything they can to undermine traditional marriage, from appointing judges who overturn marriage laws to pandering to gays on the issue, to blocking attempts to defend marriage in many ways.
In effect, they want gay marriage without the political price of it.
