Entry: Post-Christian America Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/post_christian_america#27536 Post contents: I have always respected Pat Buchanan, and believe him to be a brilliant writer, orator and journalist. I have always believed the very idea of same-sex marriage to be ludicrous. Nevertheless, I take the Ron Paul/libertarian position on this issue, namely that the State has no business being involved in sanctioning marriages, and that marriage is an issue to be resolved among individuals, families and their respective religious institutions. In addition, I would argue against a Federal Marriage Amendment as violating the federalist principle of states' rights, and instead, I believe that such contentious social issues are best resolved at the local and state levels and any decision(s) should reflect the values of local communities. In other words, let Utah be Utah and let Massachusetts be Massachusetts. I also find it disappointing that, while Mr. Buchanan decries the social malaise that afflicts contemporary society -- not only within the United States, but also, all across the Western world (i.e. abortion-on-demand; easy divorce; feminism; the emasculation of men; wide-spread celebration of pornography; loss of traditional religion and values) -- he has nevertheless put race ahead of traditionalist conservative values by using various columns and t.v. discussions/interviews to promote Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama. Obama is bad -- on so many levels -- but is he really any worse than Hillary? Hillary is the uber-feminist, closeted bull-dyke who has long promoted various radical feminist and anti-family causes, including the right of 12-year olds to sue their parents and opposition to any partial-birth abortion ban (Obama supports such a ban). In addition, whatever else his flaws, Obama is a solid family man -- a decent father and husband; whereas, Hillary continues to be a part of a bizarre political marriage in which the husband is a shameless adulterer and liar and the wife is a closeted lesbian (and shameless liar). White ethnic, Catholic and Scots-Irish Democrats are idiots for allowing their annoyance at Obama/Jeremiah Wright to cloud their judgement and cause them to believe that Hillary (the long-time advocate of abortion, homosexual "rights," gun control and open borders) is acutally now the defender of "Gods, Guns and Family."
