I have been trying to figure out a good way to explain this, and you did it perfectly.<br /><br />It also occurs to me, based on that example, that the legal precedent this will set, once gay servicemembers start demanding benefits for their partners and so forth, will result in the courts and the rest of the government giving into the entire homosexual agenda for all issues. It also conveniently eliminates the need for Congress to pass any laws, since it can all be done in the courts. Because who cares what the voters think?penny farthinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993329591603913672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328993133397649838.post-49881287412394129652010-12-04T16:19:41.967-05:002010-12-04T16:19:41.967-05:00Remember the climax of the old Christmas movie, Mi...Remember the climax of the old Christmas movie, Miracle on 34th St.? The heroes are trying to get the court to acknowledge that Santa Claus really exists. (While it is obvious to everybody that that's impossible.) Finally, the appeal is made to the Post Office. (Quoting from memory) "If the United States Post Office, <i>an official department of the US Government</i> accepts mail addressed to Santa Claus, then according to the Government of the United States, there is in fact a Santa Claus." Such will be the argument from the repeal of DADT over gay "marriage" and whatnot. An official arm of the US Government affirms that these relationships are good, normal and equivalent to marriage, therefore they are.<br />And the results will be just as ridiculous (and everybody will know it, but won't say it.)Father Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14847913093723860020noreply@blogger.com
