Brennan's brainchild has resulted in the slaughter of millions of unborn babies and now threatens further violence to the integrity of marriage and the already beleaguered American home. Gays and lesbians will flock to Vermont to get married, followed by hundreds, if not thousands, of lawsuits to force legal recognition by other jurisdictions, one of which will eventually reach the Supreme Court of the United States.
Christian conservatives recognize the legal fragility of our case in today's amoral environment.
That, admittedly, is why we have sought compromise on this issue. They demand that we confer upon gay marriages the same sanctity, blessings and respect as traditional unions - and that we can never do, regardless of what the Court says. It's just asking too much to elevate a scripturally forbidden relationship to the sacred level of holy matrimony. To do so would make a mockery of procreative marriage and drive the final nail in the coffin of the American family, but the opposition smells victory on this one and feels free to rebuff our overtures of compromise. But the cult of the freedom fetish may be overplaying its hand.
