Confusion About Prop 8

The recent action of Judge Vaughn Walker in his attempt to strike down California’s referendum supported effort to retain conventional marriage brought out all sorts of information, misinformation and disinformation from all sorts of people. More often than not, these comments reveal more about the commentator than about the situation. Tweetering twit Perez Hilton commented “Gay marriage is not about politics. It’s about real people – and families!”

This tells us two things, first he believes his values should be universally accepted without discussion, probably because he, like most progressives, believes he is smarter than the rest of us. His tweet was picked up and forwarded by many who wash occasionally and who often think Barack Hussein Obama is a legitimate president. He does not understand that politics is about the relationship between people and their government, and now, particularly with the government sticking it’s nose in just about every aspect of our lives, EVERYTHING IS ABOUT POLITICS.

Then we have the judge himself. He man proved that he does understand the roots of our country or the way normal people live. He is a puzzlement and shows that even Reagan had a less than perfect record in appointing judges… even though it didn’t come about until W’s daddy seated him on the federal court. Being a homosexual himself, he really should have recused himself rather than fashion the law to suit his preferences, rather than the people’s.

The judge showed he is not up to the standards of the man who wrote our Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson told us, “No nation has ever existed or been governed without religion. Nor can be. The Christian religion is the best religion that has been given to man and I, as Chief Magistrate of this nation, am bound to give it the sanction of my example.”

What does the Christian religion say about the homosexual lifestyle… married or not? I Corinthians 6:9 explains it this way, “Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexual immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders.” (NIV) In spite of near universal acceptance of this truth by our founders, the judge believes that such religious thinking is harmful to gays. He’s right, but the harm is not coming from the people. It also does not mean that the Bible’s view is not true.

The judge’s thinking revealed a blindness to all sorts of honest research that children develop better with traditional opposite sex parents. He also believes that stereotypes about the inferiority by various measurements such stability, longevity and even satisfaction are prejudicial nonsense. His whole line of reasoning brings to mind the old saying that there is none so blind as those who will not see.

Once again injustice has been served up by an unaccountable judge who is more interested in inflicting his view of how our country should operate while he pushes us further down the road that led to destruction for Sodom and Gomorrah.
