Calling All Christians To Vote Republican...
In an afternoon speech earlier today, President George W. Bush rallied for Christian supporters by pledging his support for a constitutional amendment that would once and for all stifle the arguments over same sex marriages and ban them forever.
It was quite clear that the Bush speech today was merely a rally call to all Christians to lend him their support in his endeavor to be re-elected, as many people are well aware of the number of years it would take to get such an amendment passed into law.
Just the amendment alone, to allow women the right to vote took many years and was debated over several administrations before it became law and then it barely passed by only one single vote. Had everyone have listened to the majority back then, women would still not be allowed to vote.
Thankfully though, the right choice was decided upon and now women are equally as welcome as men to go to the polls and cast their votes freely.
The only difference in then and now is that the constitution needed to be amended to stop a certain group of people from having their civil rights violated. Sadly today, our president has called for an amendment to our constitution that would allow a certain group of people to continue to be oppressed and have their civil rights violated.
Furthermore, the president is violating seperation of church and state laws in taking it upon himself to act as God by telling people whom they can and can not marry.
Now some may be in favor of same sex marriages and some may be opposed but it is not the place of the federal government to become involved in the personal affairs of its citizens by imposing certain ideas and traditions of a religious nature onto certain groups and individuals because of it's own moral convictions or long standing traditions. If we have learned anything at all from our history then we should certainly know with assuredness that moral convictions and long standing traditions of men are very susceptible indeed to the winds of change.
