We’re all created equal, right? So the argument surrounding the
legality of same sex marriage should be focused on equality, and not a historical
or religious based idea that is forever changing, right?
None of this seems to matter in the media, even to some attorney
pundits, who keep talking about how the constitution protects or doesn't protect gay
marriage. Equality under the law trumps all of it. Even vacuous Republicans
like Paul Ryan, who want to bypass the constitution by saying our God given
rights come first, can’t argue that even God made us all equal.
So when Republicans like Scott Walker want to carve out an
exception to those God given rights, and turn them over to the states to politically
micromanage for our creator, why isn't anyone asking him how that’s Biblically possible?
The Republicans blatant politicization and manipulation of the
Christian religion was front and center as GOP candidates gathered in front of 1,000 people at the evangelical Point of Grace Church. Come on, really? I’m assuming the church is not taking advantage of the standard tax exemption
most houses of worship take? Cap Times:
Walker told reporters he's holding out hope that the U.S. Supreme Court will rule that states can bar same-sex marriages. But if that's not the case, he suggested that voters should seek a constitutional amendment to allow state-level bans.
Remember, it’s not the definition of marriage, it an issue
of equality:
"I think the appropriate route is … to pursue a constitutional amendment allowing the states to determine what the definition is," Walker told reporters.
Walker knows it’s not about jobs, a lesson he learned after
Wisconsin voters gave him a pass on his disastrous jobs creation record, a failed
promise his voters just laughed at as though it were an inside joke.
But the crowd wasn't gathered at the church to talk about the economy. Most attendees said they were most concerned with where candidates stood on social issues and national security. Troy McGill, of Ankeny, said he'd like to see a governor run for president, but more than that, he wants a candidate who will say what he or she means and stick to it.
Conservatives love authoritarian leaders willing to go
against the public and “stick to it,” doing the “right thing:”
Walker said, "The best way to minister is to accept God's calling when you least expect it," Walker said. "We felt it was a calling to get in that election. We felt we were called to do the right thing..."
