I think a major strategic error overlooked by conservatives is adopting the terminology of the enemy:
Using the term, “traditional marriage”
Tacitly one is crossing a very important psychological threshold just by using that term —you are allowing for the concept of NON-traditional marriage.
Right away you are giving away 50% of the battle, just by doing that. NEVER never never use enemy terminology, and the left rarely does that:
They always say, “anti-choice”, they never say, “pro-life”.
And...we should call it NATURAL Marriage....
Their mode of operation is to take the issue away from where it belongs. SODOMY is and always will be a disease ridden state. So when the left talks about "Marriage Equality" they are taking us away from where the issue belongs. SODOMY is condemned around the world for what it is - it is an abomination to God. BUT - we don't even have to make that argument because we know that is going nowhere fast. We only have to refer the lefties to the CDC website and point out the fact that SODOMY is a severe health risk! We can point people to the American Red Cross for blood donation paperwork - SODOMY disqualifies a person from donating blood FOR LIFE. So why is the Federal Govt promoting sodomy through the President and yet his own branch of the Govt instructing people to avoid sodomy?
It's time to bring this topic back to where it belongs Sodomy is a health risk - there can be NO "marriage equality" between "homosexuals" and heterosexuals!
