Marriage

The Left, while acting rapidly, successively and successfully to transform and remake America, exhibits a certain nihilistic streak. They seek to rally public opinion to abolish traditional Western values and patterns. If they can obliterate our first principles, they can make our system crumble. Redefining marriage is a bold, dangerous attack by them on our core principles. Leftists hate the West and they hate America. They plot to destroy old-fashioned morality underpinning our whole, wonderful way of life, thereby making our civilization implode like a dynamited building. In this way they are terrorists, unpatriotic and disloyal. Their latest scheme is to expand the definition of marriage from opposite sex partners to same-sex partners. I am not anti-gay or even care about sexual orientation all that much, being something of a live-and-let-live Libertarian. I have worked with dozens of gays and lesbians over the years, and most of them like me, and I enjoy most of them. The issues here, for me, is not about bigotry or expanding civil rights for non-straights. Let non-straights have every civil right under the sun, but not the sacred and legal sacrament called marriage. This is what God commands us to do. The first issue is to highlight the clever ploy the Left wields so effectively in the modern world to beat up the clean-living middle class. They always claim the moral high ground with each legislated reform they introduce, demonizing opponents as bigoted, reactionary, wicked haters. But these reformers are liars, revolutionaries, totalitarian and wicked haters. They walk with Satan in the open sun under the guise of being sensitive, idealistic moralists out to better our fallen society. Nothing could be further from the truth, but the young, the secular, the urban, Hollywood, the educated elite and the rootless are listening to them. They are winning the cultural war. Here is how they are wicked: these liberals extend federal power (an evil act), smash traditional morals (an evil act), lump all non-straights together as a class, denying them their liberating stance as distinct, separate individuals able to individuate and solve their own problems without government interference (a very evil act). They propose same sex marriage as contrasted with holy, God-provided opposite sex marriage, violating the divine law that extremism is evil and the moderate way is good (blending opposites). This is an evil act. There are likely other evil acts at work here but for the moment I cannot think of them. The second issue is for traditionalists, conservative Tea Partyers, Mavellonialists and regionalists to fight back and protect our traditional way of life in three ways. First, legally defining and refusing to redefine marriage needs to be a states-right discussion, settled state by state, not by a federal statute ruling encompassing all. Let traditionalists fight this battle, state by state where it belongs. Second, the Right must urge all judges, on any level, that marriage is to be defined as between a man and a woman, for purposes of procreation. Marriage is the preferred, primary, holiest union in society, the basis for raising children with a mother and father, the building block upon which are built the rest of society to provide us with future generations of healthy, sane, energetic individuators ready to carry on and build a life for each of them, by their own two hands. Third, conservatives must teach society that marriage is that classical spiritual, biological and legal union under-girding the whole Western world, and the classic, classy values guiding it. These values and Mavellonialist faith would provide a positive counter-attack to the plots of the Left to destroy our world and way of life. God will back our play.
