There
is a Gathering Storm in America
today.
Overwhelmingly, in poll after poll,
Americans do NOT want homosexual
marriage. Not in California, not in
Massachusetts,
not in any other state. No matter what you may
hear, this is not seriously in dispute. According
to President
Bush--in a statement he
made on June 5, 2006--that clear
majority is at least 71 percent. Forty-one states
already have "defense of marriage acts" (DOMAs).
So why then are our legislators so hesitant to
vote for an amendment to our Constitution
that prohibits same-sex marriage and restricts it
to one man, one woman?
Some
Republicans are normally afraid to vote for
Marriage Amendments for fear of being called
"intolerant" or "bigoted." But why would it be
considered wrong or bigoted to stand up for
what's right? Since when did doing the right
thing go out of style? And since when has it
become unfashionable to stand up for
decency?
A few Democrats, by contrast,
actually believe that homosexual marriage is
acceptable, even desirable. Most, however, clearly
support it for partisan reasons, placing the
gaining of votes above principle. Hopefully, some
Democrat legislators will prove me wrong and do
the right thing Wednesday by voting for the
Marriage Amendment.
There have only been twenty-seven
amendments to our Constitution in the history of
our nation, and on the whole, they have been
important and needed. Now is such a time!
Call your senators and voice your opinion!
Compromised core
I rented the DVD The
Core a few months ago. The movie opens
with the earth's core reversing its rotation,
which in principle could never happen. That's
about as absurd as America reversing her moral
direction. But that is what's happening in
America today with the glorification of
homosexuality and promotion of unnatural same-sex
marriage.
In the movie, in response to the
reversed magnetic core, birds all over the world
crash into buildings because they have lost their
directional compass. With homosexuality and
same-sex marriage, we are like those birds in
The Core. We have discarded our moral
compass, and our core moral values are being
compromised. Our morality is no longer based upon
true north, so to speak, and like those birds, we
know not which way we go. As a result, society
itself threatens to come crashing down.
You
see, all morality involves some definition of
right and wrong behavior, and homosexual relations
have been recognized as wrong throughout all of
man's history. History shows us that every society
that has embraced the practice of homosexuality
has perished shortly thereafter. An overt lack of
morality in any nation leads to a fast downward
spiral in other areas too.
The main reason for studying
history is to learn from past mistakes, and to
make a better future. We either protect the
definition of marriage, or we throw out 2,000
years of Judeo-Christian morality, and in the end,
we throw out America. Remember, in America it is
the "majority" who decides what we will accept or
not, and this model has worked nearly perfectly
for two hundred years. Now is not the time to toss
this model out for the one percent of homosexual
Americans who prefer pleasure over principle.
Judeo-Christian morality
You may not even be a
Christian, but you can still wholeheartedly say
that Judeo-Christian morality and its restraints
and definitions are good for you and for society.
The Judeo-Christian God says, "Thou shalt
not kill. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not
bear false witness against thy neighbor."
Similarly, homosexuality and homosexual "marriage"
are prohibited by God, and in fact by all other
major religions. Like "thou shalt not kill," this
prohibition is also good for you and society. This
constraint preserves the natural order, and it
reinforces natural law. In effect, it protects the
community and the nation. Call your senators
and let them know how you feel.
Homosexual marriage is morally
wrong, but it's also a clear and very present
danger, because the naturally ensuing "hate
speech" laws can and will silence the Church and
conservative citizenry--and a
silenced Church and citizenry can comment on
NOTHING! Not border security, not abortion, not
anything. Mark my words, homosexual activists do
not merely want to marry, they want all Americans
to affirm and embrace their lifestyle, and beyond
that, they want to silence all opposition to their
lifestyle, using the full force of law. You just
wouldn't believe the overly hateful emails I've
received from some of them. They often hate
themselves because of the great weight of guilt
and shame they feel from violating God's order
(men with men committing indecent acts and
receiving in their own persons the due penalty
for their error)-- and the
only way to assuage their conscience, apart from
repentance and turning to God, is to get the rest
of society to accept their sin.
Calling their behavior "sin" is not
hate speech, it is the truth. I do not hate gays,
I do not advocate violence against them, and I do
not demean their dignity as human beings, but if I
fail to call it like it is, I betray myself. I
would also be betraying my readers. Alan Keyes has
said that "If we're not bearing witness, then
we're not bearing witness" and I intend to bear
witness and bring you the truth--and
the truth is that God and even Nature opposes
homosexuality. And if they oppose homosexuality,
then same-sex "marriage" is irrelevant. It's
really pretty clear, isn't it?
Redefining norms
There may be some of you who
sincerely believe that this problem won't effect
you. You may recall that Matt Barber was fired by
Allstate for merely stating his view that
homosexuality was wrong. Did Matt share his views
at work? No, he shared them in a respectful manner
on a private website! For details, see
http://www.WorldNetDaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=44961.
Then see these two articles from World Net Daily,
and ask yourself how mandated, pro-homosexual
"diversity training" might have affected, or will
effect, your workplace experience?
America's pro-homosexual
Giants:
http://www.WND.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=46426
Corporate
America snuggles up to 'gays':
http://www.WND.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=46425
Biblical
scholar Sam Tsang
says.
Legalizing
homosexual marriage will greatly curtail the
freedom of speech of those who believe that it is
wrong. In granting them the privilege, the rights
of the ordinary citizen who believes otherwise
will be violated. At the bottom of this is our
constitutional right, and not majority rule. The
Constitution and not complete democracy and
anarchy should be the basis of our
argument.
Look
at the "Gay Games" being hosted in Chicago this
summer by Kraft Foods, Maxwell House coffee,
Kool-Aid and Capri Sun drinks, Oscar Mayer meats,
Jell-O Snacks, Oreo cookies, Nabisco Foods,
Exelon, and Walgreens, among others. Why on God's
green earth would an America company sponsor such
an abysmal event? Here you have just one clear
example out of thousands of how the gay agenda is
recreating America according to its own
perverted wishes.
"Diversity" used to relate to
intermingling of races and ethnic
cultures--and that was a good thing.
The civil rights struggle was long overdue. Now
these radical homosexual activists are attempting
to get you to believe that theirs is a similar
struggle. Nothing could be further from the truth!
Corporate diversity training has gone from
enabling African-Americans to achieve success in
the workplace to meaning that "you
must affirm and celebrate
homosexuality." How did we get into this
mess? For those of you who embrace "diversity" in
principle, you are not necessarily rejecting
diversity if you reject the notion that "gay
rights" are "civil rights"--something
they are not. I were a black civil rights
activist, or if I were a black man or woman who
went through the tumultuous civil rights struggle
in the 1960's, I'd feel insulted by these
homosexual activists, and greatly so.
Legislating morality
I've heard many people say,
"You can't legislate morality!" Oh no? Where did
all our welfare and unemployment programs come
from, if not from "Love your neighbor"? Just where
did we get that from? See, we legislate morality
all the time, and we even legislate "Christian"
morality. But you can legislate away your freedom,
which is exactly what allowing homosexual marriage
will do.
By constitutionally banning
same-sex marriage, we are legislating our moral
safety. And I maintain that Christian morality
is good for the nation as a whole, because it says
love thy neighbor as thyself. Christian morality
is also good for homosexuals, because we are all
mandated by God to protect all people from
injustice and respect their inherent equal value
before God. But we are not called to approve of
their sin.
Full faith and credit
The Full Faith and Credit
Clause of our Constitution
says:
Full
Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to
the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings
of every other State. And the Congress may by
general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such
Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and
the Effect thereof.
The
first section of the Article requires states to
give "full faith and credit" to the public acts,
records, and court proceedings of other states,
and this may mean homosexual marriage. So
if one state legalizes such a marriage, as
Massachusetts unbelievably did, then other states
might be bound to honor it. Imagine, not only are
federal judges overruling your wishes, this could
also be reinforced through constitutional
principles! This is just another reason why a
constitutional amendment is so desperately needed,
and needed now. Even if it fails to pass the
Senate this week, the amendment issue will not go
away. It'll be back. So at the very least, let
them know that you want a constitutional amendment
protecting marriage as we know it, between one man
and one woman.
One caveat to this is that DOMAs
conceivably allow individual states to not
recognize a same-sex "marriage" from another
state, but this is not enough of a protection. To
his credit, former President Bill
Clinton signed the initial DOMA into law,
because even he recognized the dangers that
homosexual marriage poses to the country. Yet even
Clinton-Democrats refuse to acknowledge this
achievement. Unfortunately, DOMAs don't go far
enough, and that's why a constitutional Marriage
Amendment is needed.
Special rights
As I said above, homosexuals
claim that theirs is a "civil
rights" struggle and that they are only
fighting for equal rights. That is totally
incorrect. In fact, it is an outright lie. (This
is comprehensively outlined, documented, and
explained in the excellent book The Homosexual
Agenda, by Alan Sears & Craig
Osten.) I simply cannot equate the honorable
efforts and struggles of Martin Luther King with
the activism of same-sex couples who merely want
to engage in unnatural sexual acts with society's
stamp of approval. That claim is insulting.
Militant homosexuals do not want equality, they
want superiority. They want to use the full force
of law, along with corporate policies, to mandate
your affirmation and celebration of homosexuality.
RenewAmerica columnist Justin Darr
said it perfectly in his insightful piece "The Rise of the
Homosexual Super-Citizen." I urge you
to read it. Justin says:
The
life blood of a civil society is free speech and
respect for the rule of law. Nobody likes to be
criticized or have their beliefs questioned, but
it is a necessary part of being free. If Americans
allow any group to be elevated above the others to
the point where saying "I think you are wrong" is
a crime, then only a select few will be free and
the rest subjugated.
We are
not saying that homosexuals do not have rights. We
are not saying homosexuals should be permitted to
be the victims of prejudice or violence. What we
are saying is being a homosexual does not make you
better than anyone else, and that intimidating or
silencing those who disagree with you through
legislation is wrong. If anyone sees themselves as
a Super Citizen, where their rights supersede
those of all others and the law becomes a one
sided force for their benefit alone, then our
entire democratic society will be
lost.
Justin
is correct. Gays don't want equal rights, they
want special rights over and beyond yours.
It is not the same as the valiant struggle for
black civil rights, and any clear-thinking person
can see that. Societal privileges are not
constitutionally articulated--such as
who gets a driver's license, for example. Not
everyone gets a driver's license, and not everyone
is granted a license to carry a gun. And the
reasons are quite clear, aren't they? Likewise, we
do not allow three adults to marry each other,
either. These are reasonable restrictions imposed
by society, are they not?
Homosexuals do not merely want the
same rights you and I have--they
already have them. They want extraordinary rights.
Marriage is a "privilege" for purposes of
procreation and enforcing the responsibilities of
parents to their children. Some parents cannot
have children, for no choice of their own, but
that does not invalidate the original premise that
marriage is intrinsically tied to procreation.
Homosexuals cannot procreate, and therefore
"marriage" is not necessary or relevant to them.
See how simple that is?
Former presidential candidate
Gary Bauer said Monday:
"This
national question requires a national solution,
and on an issue of such profound importance, that
solution should come from the people, not the
courts. An amendment to the Constitution is
necessary because activist courts have left our
nation with no other choice. . . . A
constitutional amendment will put a decision that
is critical to American families and American
society in the hands of the American people, which
is exactly where it belongs. Democracy, not court
orders, should decide the future of marriage in
America."
I
could not agree more. We either live under We the
People, or we surrender our free speech
liberties--whether willingly or by
activist federal
judges.
Lap-dance
You may be
asking "Why should I care if two homosexuals want
to get married--why should it affect
me?" There are a few reasons you should be
concerned. First, I am going to ask you to
envision something that I would not ordinarily ask
in polite company, but I've heard it said that
"There are some people in America who will not
reject homosexuality unless they see
homosexuality." Following that, I'll give you a
brief explanation of the dangers of "hate speech"
laws as they relate to homosexuality and same-sex
marriage.
Imagine that you go into your
garage, unannounced, and you see your 14-year old
son with his head in the lap of another boy in
your car. Is this what you'd want for your son? Or
imagine opening the bedroom door to your teenage
daughter's slumber party and you see the apple of
your eye, your sweet sixteen-year-old daughter
whom you simply cannot wait to have grandchildren
from, with her head buried under the sheets in
another young girl's private area. See what I
mean? I know that that vision is disturbing, but
we must know what homosexuality is
all about. Homosexuals do NOT want you to know the
awful truth of their lifestyle, but this type of
behavior is at the very core of it. One astute
writer, Debra J.M. Smith, calls it "genital
worship." Indeed. If this is what you want
from your children, remain silent. If you want
better for your offspring, write your senators
immediately and tell them to vote for the proposed
Marriage Amendment. You can use the sample
script at the end of the article, or you can use
your own words, but please, for the sake of our
children and the nation as a whole, do call them
and do it before Wednesday. Then do it again next
month. Keep your side of the equation on their
blackboard.
"Hate speech" laws will either
silence the Church or jail the Church, and
that's NOT happening on my watch! Anti-free
speech laws regarding homosexuality are already on
the books in Canada, The Netherlands, Denmark, and
Sweden. They make it a felony to even gently
criticize homosexuality, punishable by significant
jail time. "Not in America!" you
say--we have "freedom of speech!"
Well, in Pennsylvania, where a pastor got charged
with multiple counts of hate speech by merely
saying that the Bible declares homosexuality to be
wrong, so it is happening in America, right under
our noses. Therefore, we need a constitutional
amendment to restrict marriage as between one man
and one woman, to invalidate the concept of hate
speech laws regarding homosexuality and same-sex
marriage.
We also need this amendment
because activist and overly liberal federal
judges are routinely overturning the expressed
will of the American people. This amendment
will put a stop, once and for all, to these
tyrannical judges. This is our last, best, and
only option in the matter. Good sense has failed.
The separation of powers has failed. The will of
the people has been thwarted again and again
regarding this. States have voted "NO!" to
same-sex marriage--yet judges have
tossed these referendums out time and again,
saying that they are "not constitutional." What?
We exercise our constitutional right to vote, we
overwhelmingly and continually vote against "gay
marriage" and then some liberal judge overturns
it? This amendment, whether passed this year or
next, etc., is your constitutional
tool to enforce the values our country was founded
on before they are lost forever. This powerful
tool takes the issues out of the courtroom and
puts them into your hands, where they belong.
If we do not act while we still
have the time--before same-sex
marriage and the resulting hate-speech laws become
the law of the land--we will
surrender our right to free speech forever.
Persecution has already begun, and it will get
worse if we do not speak up forcefully, yet
peacefully. How do we do that? Call your
senators and representatives. If we do not
speak out now while we can, then a day will come
when those who speak out against homosexuality
will be punished as "bigots" and "haters," which
of course they are not because God is not a bigot
or hater, and it is His law that says that
homosexuality and homosexual marriage are
wrong.
Consider:
Leviticus
18:22:
"You
shall not lie with a male as those who lie
with a female; it is an
abomination."
Leviticus
20:13:
"If a man lies with a male as
those who lie with a woman, both of them have
committed an abomination."
Romans 1:26-27:
"For this reason God gave them
over to degrading passions: for their women
exchanged the natural use for that which is
against nature. And in the same way also the men
abandoned the natural use of the woman and
burned in their desire toward one another, men
with men committing indecent acts and
receiving in their own persons the due penalty for
their error."
What
more needs to be said?
So
in the end, yes, we can take America back and we
can, we must, and we shall! I will post the voting
record of every senator who votes for and against
this marriage amendment.
If you need a little more boost,
see "The Present Crisis of 1776"
at
http://www.guyrandalladams.com/crisis.html. And
finally, I say as I've said many times before,
"The squeaky wheel gets the
grease!" Don't give up out of
frustration. Wars are not won overnight. Some
battles are lost, but we will win the war if we
continue to fight. Write me at

Sample
Script:
Dear
Senator (or Representative)
I
am adamantly opposed to homosexual
marriage. As a constituent of yours, I ask you
to vote for the Marriage Amendment, which would
define marriage as only between one man and one
woman. I believe that protecting traditional
marriage is critical to the preservation of
American society. I am not advocating
discrimination or any abridgment of others'
God-given or constitutional rights, but I ask you
to vote for this Marriage Amendment and against
any pro-homosexual legislation in the future.
Sincerely,
(your name, city
