IMPOSING A RADICALLY NOVEL NOTION OF "MARRIAGE" ON THE PEOPLE

The Big Hollywood website features an article by Maura Flynn allegedly laying out "The Republican Case for Gay Marriage." A simple analysis of the logical flaws in the reasoning behind the argument shows just how topsy-turvy the antinomian leftist movement really is.

Maura Flynn argues that conservatives should defend freedom, and that freedom means the freedom to marry an individual of one's own sex. She writes:

One need only read the comments on this site to know that there are two fundamental schools of thought here. Some of us believe that to be conservative is to defend freedom, preserve individual liberty, and keep government small. Others believe that being conservative is about electing a government that will defend and enforce “traditional” values. For our purposes here, a list of those values isn’t relevant. But if you place yourself in this camp, consider whether you truly want a government that will enforce your personal values at gunpoint (this is what all laws effectively do). And if you surrender such power to the government — power to defend not your life or your property, mind you, but your values — can you live with the consequences when your officials are no longer in power and you are staring down the business end of that barrel? [Emphasis added.]

Maura Flynn claims that social conservatives want to use the power of the government to force their views on marriage on everybody else.

But that's exactly the opposite of the real situation.

Social conservatives accept the plain and simple definition of marriage -one man married to one woman- that has prevailed in Christendom for nearly 2,000 years. They don't need the power of the government to force this view on the United States, because this is the plain and simple definition of marriage that has always existed in the United States.

It is the socially radical left that must use the power of the government to impose its antinomian view of marriage as anything-goes on the rest of society. It is the socially radical left that would use the power of the government to force married couples to give up the traditional understanding of their marriages. It is the socially radical left that would use the power of the government (and which has already used the power of the government) to force their radical, ahistorical, and nihilistic definition of marriage on believing Christians.

That's not defending freedom.

The leftist elites have used the governmental power of the courts -- the least democratic and the most elitist branch of government -- to impose same-sex marriage on States whose voters have rejected changing the laws to suit them. Same-sex marriage has been defeated in every State referendum held, including California.

The movement to force same-sex marriage on America is part and parcel of the left's Gramscian campaign to undermine and destroy every institution of civil society that functions without direct state control.

It is Leftists, not conservatives, who want to enforce their personal values at gunpoint. Marriage is only one part of it. Leftists want to impose their values on everyone else. Lefitsts want to control every aspect of every life. And if you don't accept their values, they will send you to the Gulag or the firing squad.
