OBAMA'S DEFENSE OF TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE WASN'T WRITTEN IN STONE

SOME THINGS ARE WRITTEN IN STONE, 

AND SOME THINGS AREN'T.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE WRITTEN IN STONE.

OBAMA'S PLEDGES ARE NOT.

OBAMA'S PLEDGE TO DEFEND TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE WAS LIKE HIS MANY OTHER PLEDGES:

• TO TAKE PUBLIC FINANCING OF HIS 2008 CAMPAIGN.
• TO CLOSE GITMO.
• TO MOVE KSM'S TRIAL TO NYC.
• TO NEVER RAISE TAXES ON THE MIDDLE CLASS.
• TO MAKE SURE OBAMACARE LOWERED COSTS AND ALLOWED YOU TO KEEP YOUR PRESENT INSURANCE.

AND SO ON.

MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, POLITICIANS DO NOT KEEP THEIR PROMISES.

THAT'S A KEY REASON TO SUPPORT SMALL GOVERNMENT: THE SMALLER GOVERNMENT IS THE LESS UNPRINCIPLED POLITICIANS CAN STEAL OR STEER TO THEIR CRONIES.

POLITICIANS WHO DO KEEP THEIR PROMISES ARE PRINCIPLED - AND THEY ARE RARE.
