this is the goddamn president of the united states saying this:
On a matter of such importance, the voice of the people must be heard. Activist courts have left the people with one recourse. If we're to prevent the meaning of marriage from being changed forever, our nation must enact a constitutional amendment to protect marriage in America. Decisive and democratic action is needed because attempts to redefine marriage in a single state or city could have serious consequences throughout the country.
nobody has yet explained to me what these serious consequences are or people that they affect.
wrong side of history, indeed.
oh, but he's a moderate, and he'd still allow some form of civil unions in the states. well, those don't have to be recognized by other states, and that's not exactly the language of the amendment proposals that i've seen. codify your bigotry into law. it's so beautiful.
i sure hope those conservative christian votes are worth it, george. i really, really do.
but it's not like he's got much else to run on. jobs, war in iraq, afghanistan, the economy. not so hot.
