Though the initial vote moved a bill to redefine marriage in the UK forward, the final outcome is all but sure. Despite a number of “conservative” MP’s backing the bill, Prime Minister David Cameron suffered a defeat as most of his party voted against it. A recent article comments on the bittersweet victory and the potential fall-out as the bill continues:
“Just a few months ago, if we had predicted this result, no one would have believed us, but our clear and simple message that these proposals are undemocratic and will lead to all sorts of unintended consequences has struck a chord with ordinary voters and now scores of MPs. We have consistently warned the legislation contains no safeguards for those who work in the public sector. Top lawyers, with a track record of winning against the Government, have said the quadruple lock is not sustainable and instead of trying to answer these questions the PM remains hell bent on ramming this bill through Parliament in a dangerously short period of time. Mr Cameron hopes that this matter is now settled. He is wrong. His attempts to distract those in his own party and the wider country from the fall out will fail. More importantly this is not the end of the fight against these ill-thought through and divisive plans.” Click here for original article.

Is America on a path to see churches denied “charity” or “non-profit” status for its specific doctrines? Will we see the day when our buildings are bull-dozed in front of us because the government doesn’t approve? These might sound like far-fetched ideas that no freedom loving country would ever allow. And yet they are taking place in “free” countries where the government “approves of and accepts” all religions as equal.
sex-education classes that focuses on teaching girls “how to say no” to sexual pressure. Seems like a great idea to me.
Martinsburg, WV – I get the joy of reading lots of commentary and watching lots of video of liberals and progressives that ooze contempt for the traditional values and morals that helped shape this land and make America the greatest nation on earth. And, it stinks. That people would utter such ignorant drivel is maddening. To ridicule the foundational pillars of our great society is to prove that you have no idea of how and why America is and has been the envy of so many other countries and peoples (Let’s face it, if America wasn’t so great people would not be trying to get in here illegally, or at all).
