Gay marriage rises as wedge in 2012 race
FOX News ^ | July 31 2012 | John Roberts

Posted on 07/31/2012 8:46:40 AM PDT by scottjewell

The Democratic National Committee made headlines this week with the announcement that for the first time, it is moving to include a plank supporting same-sex marriage in the party's convention platform.

It appeared to be a bit of an "in your face" to the host state, North Carolina, which just voted by 61 percent for a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage.

The Democratic Party, though, has been emboldened since President Obama reversed course and came out in favor of same-sex marriage in May. ..

Obama has energized the LGBT lobby and Hollywood, raising millions of dollars off the announcement for his campaign. ..

Funny how gay “marriage” is far more important than fixing the economy—still.

Yup - rainbow agenda always trumps every other issue, no matter the circumstances.

Just watch.....more Democrats will leave the party. They won’t want to be seen as supporting this decision and I don’t blame them a bit.

Why is government involved in marriage in the first place?

There is no such thing as homosexual “marriage”. It is further destruction of English—which the Marxists have done since 1900.

We cannot allow the continuation of the corruption of our language-—it will destroy meaning and ideas and conceptions and worldview in children (which is the plan).

Sodomy is a Vice and can NEVER be promoted by Just Law. Our Standard in the USA is God’s Standard of Right and Wrong. Up and until Holmes, Jr. and the Fabian Socialists-—who infiltrated schools and the universities and law schools—Marxist thinking wasn’t allowed in jurisprudence in the USA.

There is no RIGHT to sodomy. It should still be illegal and punished like all Vices used to be when we had individual freedom and the freedom of association and freedom of religion.

Promoting Vice as Good and a Right-—is destroying the Christian paradigm which created this country. Removing God’s Standard-—is inserting Marx’s (Barney Frank’s) Godless Standards of “feel good”—”do it”.

Sodomy pushers—are pushing pederasty (all homosexual cultures had pederasty as normal—that Sandusky urge is produced when young boys are abused)—and all of it is unconstitutional because it destroys the Freedom of Religion in this country and our US Legal system based on Rights from God.

So, is the Republican plank going to have a statement that “Marriage is Defined as a Union between a Man and a Woman”?

It always is, which is why the democrats are going to lose so many voters this election. The other 98% of the population is heterosexual (more if you don't count the prison inmates who don't have a choice).

Oboma may be bisexual, but the country is not. Because of that, Romney is going to do very well in November.

It appears the left has fallen for it's own propaganda. There's no such thing as "homosexual tolerance. " People are smart enough to know exactly what these people are, and they don't want their kids, or themselves, anywhere near them.

Buy yourself an espresso machine, so you do not patronize such evil-promoting places.

I’m wondering just exactly how many sharks the D’s have committed to jumping this year.

This is the equivalent of the Republicans adding a plank of taking away the women’s vote.

I’m all for it (so’s my wife) but it would not help the cause one bit. :-)

This is a GREAT idea by the DNC! Why not clearly demonstrate the propensity of Democrats for specious reasoning and disordered minds?

Only an insane person would equate sexual perversion to normal and natural heterosexual union, and thus compromise public health and safety.

I don't know, what about abortion? As long as it involves disease and death, it's a toss up.

“Homosexual rights” is just a vehicle to criminalize Christian beliefs. Nothing else.

For those who traverse Route 17 south toward the Coleman Bridge in Gloucester County, VA, who'd like a much better alternative from a Tea Party patriot, I recommend:

Jean Casanave's "Brewed Awakenings"
