Democrats Move to Strike “Husband” and “Wife” From Federal Law
The New American ^ | July 13, 2015 | Michael Tennant

Posted on 07/14/2015 6:03:05 AM PDT by detective

Wasting little time, Democrats in Congress are already proposing legislation to replace the words “husband” and “wife” in the federal code with gender-neutral language reflective of the Supreme Court’s June 26 pronouncement that married couples in the United States need no longer consist of a male and a female.

On July 8, Representative Lois Capps (D-Calif.) introduced the Amend the Code for Marriage Equality Act, which she said in a press release “would strike the use of gendered terms such as ‘husband’ and ‘wife’ from the federal code and replace them with more gender-neutral terms, such as ‘spouse’ or ‘married couple.’”

Except they aren’t lunatics or ignorant or doing this for the good of the nation.

They are evil.

Why stop there? Remove “man” and “woman” too. “Human” and “animal” replaced with “being.”

Communists strive to replace God and Family with the State. All part of the plan.

I thank God every day that I’m old and almost out of the madhouse that this country has become.

I knew the best of it-——and it is missed.

Perhaps they can replace those with words like "pitcher" and "catcher" where appropriate.

The day that I can’t legally describe my wife as my wife is the day I start treating the government as a hostile occupying force.

Brainwashing starts with the young. Libs control education, pop culture and media. People get “news” from places such as The View and John Stewart. We have become a dumbed-down nation. I have said before and I will say it again, all this “equality” language needs to include Selective Service and registering males AND females; as of now, only males are required. If Princess Hillary is the Dem’s nominee, someone on the right needs to ask her: Will you require 18 year old girls to fight for their country and register for selective service? If she says no, she is a hypocrite. If she says yes, then be prepared for a military draft to include girls currently in their teens.

How many miles of federal code are there? To find everytime "husband or wife" is used and change them all? Next they'll want to change every deed in the United States and strike "husband and wife" from it.

Replace them with “husband, wife, significant other, main squeeze, homo/lesbo partner, hook-up friend, what’s it’s name, etc., etc., etc.”?

"Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that's where it's really at"

"In 1995, State Senator Alice Palmer introduced her chosen successor, Barack Obama, to a few of the district’s influential liberals at the home of two well known figures on the local left: William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. ..."

“I can remember being one of a small group of people who came to Bill Ayers’ house to learn that Alice Palmer was stepping down from the senate and running for Congress,”
