Sorry Justice Kennedy: Family matters most
LifeSiteNews ^ | 7-11-13 | Ryan T. Anderson

Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy can't seem to understand why every political community on earth until the year 2000 recognized marriage as the union of a man and a woman. In his mind, this can be explained only by anti-gay "animus."

Justice Kennedy is wrong.

The state isn't in the marriage business because it cares about love or romance, but because the sexual union of a man and a woman can produce new life and this new life deserves a mother and a father. When a newborn isn't raised by the man and the woman -- the mother and the father -- who gave him or her life, social costs run high.

Today, let's look at what marriage is and why it matters. Tomorrow we'll consider how redefining marriage will undercut the public purpose and social function of marriage. On Thursday, we'll preview where the marriage movement goes from here.

Marriage exists to bring a man and a woman together as husband and wife to be father and mother to any children their union produces. Marriage is based on the anthropological truth that men and women are different and complementary, the biological fact that reproduction depends on a man and a woman, and the social reality that children need both a mother and a father.

Good article. According to Kennedy, Jesus said the following in Matthew 19:4-6 out of "anti-gay animus":

'And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”'

But Kennedy as a Reagan appointee that we got (sadly) instead of Robert Bork, RIP.

None of that matters to the “if it feels good, do it” crowd.

If the fags with SSAD (Same Sex Attraction Disorder) can completely change the definition of marriage then we should be able to change the following:

Anyone good at lying can be a lawyer. You don’t need to pass a bar exam just be able to lie. No change would be noticed in society.

Anyone who can put a bandage on a wound can be called a doctor.

Anyone who can put together an erector set can call themselves an engineer.

Anyone who kills their baby in the womb can call themselves a population control expert.

Anyone who has a black robe and no honesty can call themselves a USSC judge.

With the dregs of society words become meaningless.

This fool actually believes that because he is on the SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA he is smarter than we are. He’s a pitifully dumb bastard.
