Interesting, isn’t it, that less than two years ago it was the belief of our leading politicians that they would be unelectable if they were publicly in favor of “gay marriage”. In fact, Barack Obama, in running for his first term as a presidential candidate, danced around the issue with great care, proclaiming he was in favor of civil unions only, and would never say he was in favor of homosexual marriage. Of course, as we know, that all changed following the announcement first made by Vice President Joe Biden as he was sent out to test the winds of public opinion for the POTUS, who then within a few days afterwards came out openly in favor of gay marriage. President Obama said his thinking had “evolved”. (Keep that word in mind, by the way.) That in turn, opened up the financial flood gates for his presidential campaign from the homosexual community, and the rest is now well-known history.
How quickly things change! In the last few weeks as homosexual marriage has been the lead topic due to the SCOTUS hearing, the talking heads are now debating whether any politician, even from the conservative wings, will ever be electable if they do not favor gay marriage! We have gone from a civilization that has, for 2,000 years, never even questioned heterosexual marriage, to suddenly (so it seems) being a civilization that considers it preposterous if one would even question the rights to a same sex marriage. For 250 years we have been a nation that called homosexual behavior “sodomy” and considered it prosecutable, to now becoming a nation that seemingly is on the verge of not tolerating anyone who even questions that a man has a right to marry a man; or a woman a woman.

The burden to protect my children seems to grow every day. But I’m not talking about merely protecting from strangers, drugs, or other obvious dangers. Instead I’m talking about protecting them from a society that seems bent on destroying them from the inside out through a relativistic morality that has as its end immorality. And what’s frightening is the eerie silence from many parents.
Here we go, hang on! The slippery slope I’ve been talking about regarding marriage redefinition is now in full “slide mode” as we pick up speed toward a standard of immorality so low Attila the Hun would be offended. The essence of what I have been saying is that if the government decides to redefine marriage for one group, it will necessarily have to redefine it for every other group that storms Washington demanding their “rights.” If the government refuses, it will then be guilty of the same “discrimination” it now accuses traditional marriage proponents of.
I’ve often heard people say that they don’t want me to “legislate my morality” on anyone. I have one of two typical responses to this statement. I either say “should we legislate immorality instead?” or “then whose morality should we legislate?” The truth is that morality is always being legislated, it’s just a matter of whose morality is going to be legislated. Because laws are crafted by human beings, who are moral people, all laws are then essentially moral.
If you pay any attention to the mainstream media at all, you will eventually hear someone complain about religious people wanting to “legislate their morality” in America. It’s a tired, silly sort of argument considering that most of the laws in America are based, in some part, on moral principles found in the Bible and the faith of our founding fathers.
