Back before the November 2008 election, I opined on the subject of gay marriage, coming down firmly on the side of honestly not knowing where I stood on the issue. Haven’t changed my mind since then, which is another way of saying I haven’t made up my mind. To be honest, it’s not a subject about which I’ve given much thought. Here’s why.
It’s not that important right now.
We have an administration and Congress fiercely determined to not only burden us with massive debt but destroy, not reform, health care in this country by nationalizing it and bankrupt us all by pushing a cap and trade energy policy that will result in massive increases in everyone’s energy bill — gasoline, electricity, you name it. Our government values the civil rights of terrorists over the lives of its own citizenry. It seeks to maximize its grip on all aspects of its citizens lives by domineering the economy and running roughshod over individual and states rights. This all takes place with the at least tacit and usually active support of a media so enamored with President Obama it is unwilling to examine facts with anything other than a dismissive sneer when they, and the people who attempt to bring them to light, speak up.
The Taliban is pushing ever closer toward acquiring nuclear weapons and the means to launch them via conquering Pakistan from within. Israel and Iran are ramping up toward armed confrontation which could involve nuclear weapons. North Korea is working hard on giving itself the ability to launch — get ready for that word again — nuclear weapons via missile. Our government responds by apologizing to most everyone for the previous administration being proactive in protecting American interests and lives. Lovely.
And gay marriage, either pro or con, is a priority?
Maybe later.
Much, much later.
Right now there are more important items on the agenda.
Much, much more important.
