Marriage Amendment - A disappointment...
Today congress did not pass the Marriage Amendment. The vote was close which means somebody wasn’t listening to their constituents. Looking at every state that has allowed a vote in the issue you can clearly see that society has not approved it.
Congress doesn't get it, which shouldn't surprise anybody.
Some members have tried to use the reason that it's a right. They are wrong. Most liberals call everything a right. They, too, are wrong.
As the great Thomas Sowell has said, marriage is actually a restriction upon the rights we already have.
There are many attempts at reason to approve homosexual marriage. None of them are viable.
Adoption is one fallacy. Marriage doesn't guarantee that you'll be able to adopt a child any more than eating a doughnut makes you a police officer. Adoption is based on your ability to prove you are capable of being a good parent.
Passing property or money to another isn't any easier when you're married. At the moment couples living together, it doesn't matter whether they're straight or have decided to become homosexual, can create any manner of arrangements with their property that they desire.
If you're married there are some barriers to this. In California, for instance, if you purchase something 50% of it automatically becomes your spouses. But what would you expect from the land of fruits and nuts.
So what's the real reason for approving homosexual marriage?
It's simply to have their deviant lifestyle accepted by society. There can be no other reason.
Hopefully it will never happen and Congress will awaken from their stupor and support the Marriage Amendment.

Hey Don...welcome to blogging...
Yeah, that decision about the Marriage Ammendment was disappointing...remember in the last governor's race, the Republican that ran (I want to say Steve Largent) and everyone thought he was a shoe in...it was just so obvious that he would win...and he didn't...and I wondered if maybe it was because some people thought it was going to be such a landslide that they didn't need to put in their vote.
So maybe this is a wake up call for all of us to make SURE those representing us know what we want.
Last Christmas, I signed up wtih American Family Association (www.afa.net) and they let you know about all kinds of things like this. Here is a part of the article regarding the MPA vote...
"The vote today (Wednesday, June 7) was 49-48, giving many pro-family groups that have lobbied for the MPA what they had hoped for leading up to the elections this fall -- a list of senators they say shows who is willing to fight to protect traditional marriage, and who favors homosexual "marriage."
Kansas Senator Sam Brownback says the 49-48 vote was "highly unfortunate" because Democratic senators opposed the amendment, despite what the people of their states had voted in earlier ballot initiatives.
"If the senators had voted as their states have already voted, the vote would have been 90-10 in favor of the amendment, as 45 states have defined marriage as the union of a man and a woman -- and that's what this amendment does: it defines marriage as the union of a man and a woman."
Sad, but as they are saying here...now we know who is not for the ammendment and who not to vote for next time.
Here's our two guys, BTW...
Inhofe (R-OK), Yea
Coburn (R-OK), Yea
So YEA for them!
