Matt Barber hits this one out of the park, in the bottom of the ninth, with the bases loaded.

Read the whole article. It's worth it.

2% wanting to exert power over the other 98%

[goldstategop]

I agree.

Liberal judges are imposing their views - their philosophy on every one else.

Now the Left has triumphed in the legal wars. But it has not put an end to resistance.

That will continue like with abortion because there are different world views on which there is no common ground.

And we will never concede it to our opponents no matter what laws they rewrite.

[Christie at the beach]

I really like what he wrote and has expressed. I feel the same way. These judges in black robes are doing whatever they want to do to mock God. As I have ben posting, they will never trumpet God. People have to keep their faith and not surrender to this unnatural relationship from the 2-3%. I am glad the author said this straight out. Bravo, I like him now.

From different statistical collections....you can generally say that there are about 70,000 gay marriages in progress right now, and even if you approved it in all fifty states....it might only move up to around 80,000 max. Peak-time? Probably a decent prospective with the numbers out there.

So, all this chatter....over a episode that covers roughly 180,000 Americans out of 300,000,000?

I would suggest the news media peak will start to occur when a parent in New Hampshire approves her 13-year old daughter marrying the fifty-year old lesbian girlfriend. A month later, another parent will sign off on the 14-year old son marrying some gay fifty-five year old guy from New York City. At this point, the reporters will feel uncomfortable and just drop the topic.

I read a sermon, written by a rabbi, on what the issue is between mankind and God. Basically, God has set up a universe where consequences happen and those who stand against God want to live consequence-free lives.

[GonzoII]

I read it. Big bump.

The war is spiritual and the barf in these court decisions merely a manifestation of the battle.

[RginTN]

Agree with this op ed. The problem is Christians aren’t on our knees praying for God to intervene on this matter. That is how to counter this spiritual battle.

It was always about screwing employers to pay for AIDS medical care. Why marriage? Because employers pay for spousal medical insurance. It was always about the money.

He is really very good. One lone strong voice.

It’s an attack on Christianity. Nothing more. It’s not about love that’s already unrestrained in every conceivable way.

[Arthur McGowan]

Everything Barber says is true, but a less original, more obvious article I have never read.

We conservatives have got to learn that you cannot win the culture war in the courts, we must win the culture war in the culture.

Most conservatives will understand the culture trumps politics but they are unwilling to recognize that culture trumps law. Nothing could be clearer than the civil rights movement leading to the civil rights laws and going beyond excess with affirmative action movements. The law has proved an ungainly instrument to restrain the culture when it comes to affirmative action and it was only following the tide in enforcing civil rights.

Likewise we see conservatives balking at the legalization of pot. They expect the law to restrain the impulse of the culture. The law held back the legalization of pot until the dam simply broke.

We conservatives understand what the fight over sodomite marriage is all about, it is about defending the institution of marriage against the assault originating with The Frankfurt School which seeks to undermine the family unit as the atomic building block of a civil society so that it can sweep in and impose its vision on a defenseless culture. The problem with attempting to use the law to retard homosexual marriage is that we lost the war in the culture. It does no good to cite polls, rapidly going out of date, which show a plurality of the people opposing homosexual marriage, the point is the movers and shakers of the culture have won among the elites and the deciders.

The author himself understands this reality when he says:

"As for the continuing kangaroo courtrooms overseeing and facilitating the destruction of marriage via judicial fiat, I fully expect that additional reality-denying judges will call up down, black white and evil good. They’ll declare a “constitutional right” to sodomy-based marriage.

It’s all the rage right now."

Yes, it is all the rage right now and it is hopeless to try to win generation long cultural wars from the top down. It is unrealistic to expect judges of mixed politics to do what conservatives themselves will not do: fight and win the culture wars in the culture.

I thought it was about how to make a square peg fit into a square peg??? Or a round hole...

I dunno, I’m confused...;-)

BUMP for later

Because we have allowed government to define “marriage” for its own purposes (such as taxation and regulation of estates), we have allowed government to define marriage as a social institution. That was fine as long as people in control of government were generally supportive of God’s original definition of marriage. However we have entered a time when a growing number of people in control of government want to redefine marriage for their own purposes, which in part is contrary to God’s definition.

Marriage is now far more a matter of politics and ideology than of private religious beliefs.

Therefore, for the sake of marriage as God defines it, it is time to remove from government the power to define who is married and who is not. Then gays could form whatever relationships they please but they could not force those who disagree to be enablers for those relationships. And we would not have schools that must teach that homosexual “marriages” are just as legitimate as heterosexual ones. Nor would we have owners of wedding photography services being threatened with arrest and being convicted of a crime for merely declining to artfully photograph a “marriage” they find morally repugnant.

LOVE the pic of the Holy Bible and the gun!
Its not gay and its not marriage.
Its a satanic plot to drive Christians out of business and curse the churches.
Its a satanic attack on this nation and its winning.
No bible or prayer in schools, no Jesus in military, slaughtering our babies (abortion) and so called ‘gay’ crap in laws.
I cannot call America a Christian nation today.

I suppose Mr. kennedy believes this AS LONG AS IT IS POINTED IN ONE DIRECTION.
