Play It Again, Uncle SamAre you ready for it? The most important debate in the Senate is about to resume on June 5th - the Federal Marriage Amendment. It's more important than immigration, more important than border security, more important than a national health plan for America's citizens. Terrorist attacks, the War in Iraq, World Hunger, and even the buying off of Congress by lobbyists, pale in comparison to protecting the sanctity and godliness of heterosexual marriage. This debate sinks to the very roots of what makes America a great country - bigotry, hate and outright lies.Huh?? Well it is the ONLY thing that the Religious Right is concerned about at any rate. Well, mayhaps not the only thing - they are also concerned that watching or reading The Da Vinci Code will bring organized religion to rack and ruin almost as quickly as two lesbians getting married. Either way, to protect America against the breadth of the heathen element in our midst, the Righteous among us have designated Sunday, June 4th as "Marriage Protection Sunday" again. The American Family ASSociation has lifted the clarion call on their web site to assemble all Americans who fear gays and lesbians and desire to keep them in their roll as second-class citizens, beholden to real people who understand the values that marriage brings to families in America today. Frankly, I think this attempt by the First Self-Righteous Church will succeed at about the same rate that it will stop people from seeing The Da Vinci Code, which is like only going to happen in their dreams. Arizona is a Red State. As Red as it can get. But today in the Arizona Republic, you find this letter to the Editor: Sorry Right Wing Wackos. I don't think it's going to work for you this time. Too many Ms. Weavers out there, now, who understand what you are. | +Save/Share | | |
