The Voice of Rage and Ruin
"Just as they have in numerous other states, another aberrant judge has launched a judicial assault on the bedrock of our society. We now look to the Maryland Appeals Court to restore some sanity to the judicial process and overturn yesterday's court decision for if it is upheld will wreak havoc on our society, redefining the institution of marriage and denying children a mother or a father.We are appalled by the threat to American families embodied in this hedonistic ruling. The "if it feels good, do it" mentality has no business in American courtrooms. If men have the right to marry men and women have the right to marry women, then the traditional marriages of men and women have absolutely no meaning. American families deserve better than this.
"This is emblematic of a concentrated effort across the country to cause social upheaval by abusing our court system. Groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union, who represented the plaintiffs, have also been instrumental in similar suits across the country.
"This ruling will bolster efforts in Congress to vote on and pass a Marriage Protection Amendment. Many states, including Maryland and neighboring Virginia, are moving forward to place marriage protection amendments on state ballots. This judicial assault reinforces the need to fully protect marriage before the next judicial attack on society's most basic institution."
... Murdock ruled in favor of 19 homosexual men and women who claimed in a lawsuit that the same-sex marriage ban violates equal rights and due process provisions of Maryland's constitution.What about families, judge? Aren't they a "compelling interest?" What about the church? Isn't it a compelling interest? What about values? If this is a Christian nation, which it is, then it is up to the judges to enforce pro-family laws, not throw them out.
"After much study and serious reflection," wrote Murdock in Friday's ruling, "this court holds that Maryland's statutory prohibition against same-sex marriage cannot withstand this constitutional challenge."
She said the law violates the Maryland Declaration of Rights because it discriminates against a "suspect class" based on gender.She said the law "is not narrowly tailored to serve any compelling governmental interests."
Mr. President, victory is yours. We thank you. We love you.Need a date, or something? ;-)
"We don't mind offering you a long-term truce on fair conditions that we adhere to. We are a nation that God has forbidden to lie and cheat. So both sides can enjoy security and stability under this truce so we can build Iraq and Afghanistan, which have been destroyed in this war."Nobody who thinks he can win would offer his enemy a truce.
It would be nice to think that this would present an opportunity for the antiwar crowd to reconsider its approach. For it is clear that Al Qaeda has underestimated not only the president but also the American people. Far from bin Laden's boasts that his holy warriors are succeeding, his offer of truce is an act of desperation. After all the terror Al Qaeda has sought to inflict in Iraq and Afghanistan, it has been unable to prevent successive and successful elections and the writing of constitutions.
After the longest independent counsel investigation in history, the prosecutor in the case of former Housing Secretary Henry G. Cisneros is finally closing his operation with a scathing report accusing Clinton administration officials of thwarting an inquiry into whether Mr. Cisneros evaded paying income taxes.This is all we need to know about the liberals who are trying to investigate Republicans about Abramoff. They are HYPOCRATES!
The legal inquiry by the prosecutor, David M. Barrett, lasted more than a decade, consumed some $21 million and came to be a symbol of the flawed effort to prosecute high-level corruption through the use of independent prosecutors.
Mr. Barrett began his investigation with the narrower issue of whether Mr. Cisneros lied to the Federal Bureau of Investigation when he was being considered for the cabinet position. He ended his inquiry accusing the Clinton administration of a possible cover-up.
His report says Justice Department officials refused to grant him the broad jurisdiction he wanted; for example, Attorney General Janet Reno said he could look at only one tax year. And after Internal Revenue Service officials in Washington took a Cisneros investigation out of the hands of district-level officials in Texas, the agency deemed the evidence too weak to merit a criminal inquiry, a conclusion strongly disputed by one Texas investigator.
Former officials of the Justice Department and the I.R.S. dismissed Mr. Barrett's conclusions in appendices attached to the report, saying the findings were the product of an inquiry that was incompetently managed from the start.
After being indicted on 18 felony counts, Mr. Cisneros pleaded guilty in 1999 to a misdemeanor charge of lying to investigators. He was later pardoned by President Bill Clinton.
Patriots to Restore Checks and Balances (PRCB) today called upon Congress to hold open, substantive oversight hearings examining the President's authorization of the National Security Agency (NSA) to violate domestic surveillance requirements outlined in the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).The traitors:
FOR OVER A HUNDRED YEARS children have gathered on the South Lawn of the White House on the Monday after Easter to roll Easter eggs across the yard and meet the Easter Bunny. Seemingly few (if any) Washingtonians have ever tried to exploit the annual White House Easter Egg Roll for political purposes. Until now. A church-based homosexual rights group is planning to crash the event with a "family visibility action" to spotlight their non-traditional families.How silly of these people. They are trying to erase the truth by attacking the Christian symbol of the Easter Egg. If God wanted gay people to have families, he wouldn't have made them gay. Think about it.
"On April 17, 2006, when the White House lawn is opened to families for the Annual Easter Egg Roll, imagine if the first 1,000 families onto the lawn were LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender] families," enthused a January 4 email alert from Soulforce. Once America sees the White House lawn awash in LGBT families, "there will be no going back," Soulforce promised.
Soulforce is the political organizing tool of self-described "militant gay activist" Mel White, the former Jerry Falwell speech writer who discovered his gayness and became a clergyman in the predominantly homosexual Metropolitan Community Churches.
White and his supporters routinely show up at church conventions and other events to protest, perform acts of civil disobedience and demand that denominations change their teachings about homosexuality. They apply the "soul force" of principles from Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi to the "struggle for justice for sexual minorities."
According to Soulforce, "LGBT" participants are being urged to gather at the White House gate the night before so as to be the
first to enter the next morning. Volunteers will stand in line for "LGBT" parents who cannot do it themselves.
That Scary, Scary Unitary Theory of the ExecutiveGod bless you, Tony Perkins. Thank you for that truth to help us fight the liberal lies.
During three days of testimony by Samuel Alito, Senate Judiciary Committee liberals repeatedly hammered the judge with hostile questions about his support for the "unitary theory of the executive." The senators charged that Judge Alito's acceptance of this doctrine would render him too deferential to the President in civil liberties cases. Such implications are false. The "unitary theory of the executive" is a complex-sounding term that actually describes a simple concept. The Constitution vests "the executive Power" of the United States "in a President..." Thus, Judge Alito and many serious scholars believe that the power to control the executive branch of the United States government resides solely in the President of the U.S. Put another way, the President, they believe, is empowered to dismiss all federal employees who exercise executive power. French philosopher Baron de Montesquieu would surely have recognized the concept. In fact, he probably invented it. The Founding Fathers all looked to Montesquieu's Spirit of the Laws when they framed our government. Why should liberals find that so alarming? After all, it's French, isn't it?
Under this President's leadership, we have made great strides towards fulfilling the promise of opportunity for every American. Thanks to the President's bold education reforms, we have narrowed the achievement gap between white and African American children. The homeownership rate among African Americans is near record highs, and African Americans are starting new businesses at a rate double the national average. And President Bush is leading the way in reforming Social Security and Medicare so that those who most rely on these programs have more choices and better benefits.Free at last, free at last! Good God almighty, they are free at last!
In this President's Administration and at the highest levels of our party, African Americans are leading the way. We are proud to be the party of Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell, Alphonso Jackson and Rod Paige. Leaders like Michael Steele from my native Maryland make me proud to be a Republican - and Michael is joined by a growing number of African American candidates and officeholders in our Republican family.
We have come a long way, but we are only part way along in this journey of progress and opportunity. Let me be clear. No matter how many elections Republicans win, no matter how many times we hold the White House, no matter how many seats in Congress, the party of Lincoln will not be whole again until more African Americans come back home.
Quoting scripture, Dr. King said "Let justice roll down like the waters and righteousness like a mighty stream." These words remind us that the principles of freedom and equal opportunity for which Dr. King heroically stood endure beyond the life of one man, and must be advanced not just on this day, but every day.
