Rob Portman: Plastic Elastic Ethics

Suddenly something which is wrong becomes right if you think it might make your kid happy.

homepage

Rob Portman has reversed himself on the issue of gay marriage because his son has come out as gay.  This had been in the background as a possible reason that Mitt Romney did not choose Portman as vice presidential candidate.

More likely, Romney felt that he had no prayer unless he threw a bone to the Tea Partiers by choosing a more conservative person to run with him.

Rob Portman’s reversal has more to do with the politician’s instinct to appease, compromise and get along.   Certainly it will not do his son any good.    Kids don’t really need their parents to shift and change with whatever new lifestyle the kids choose to take on.  The kids would benefit more from knowing that parents have firm and strong moral beliefs that don’t change with the latest behavioral eruption, and that the love from their parents is constant, despite the disagreements.    Love and agreement are not the same thing.

Portman reveals himself to be just another person who doesn’t know that marriage is a social structure for the purpose of protecting  children.  We could perhaps help him by reminding him of how babies are made, in case he forgot.  Or we could  point him to Homovox,  or to David Mainwaring so that he could understand governmental manipulation, and social problems that accompany the push for gay marriage.

Some Prominent Republicans are Outing Themselves on Gay Marriage

Obama’s death panel has relegated the Republican party to palliative care, and here’s one more reason why we should not attempt to intervene in the decision.

Eighty, so-called prominent republicans have signed an opinion that there is a constitutional right to gay marriage.  They have OUTED their complete ignorance of the Constitution.  Going over the names, few should be seen as a surprise.  If you care to check the list, click HERE. 

People need to get over the idea that any marriage at all is a constitutional right.  The U.S. constitution is silent on the issue of marriage and leaves it up to the people to decide how it is to be recognized socially.

Human rights are possessed by an individual, and they end where another begins.  All marriages are done with permission, coming from each partner.

There is also no human right to sex, for the same reason, as it impinges upon another person, and therefore requires permission.

Marriage ought to be handled by the religious organizations.  It originated with these groups as protection for the rearing of progeny.  The social recognition of marriage has served the purpose of stabilizing the environment for children to reach adulthood safely.

So many people have lost sight of the original reasons for local government impingement upon marriage, and are now using it as the vehicle for granting government mandated benefits.   Initially this applied to couples with children, but it has vastly expanded with the bloating of government.     In the military it has recently been decreed that unmarried  same sex partners of military personnel are eligible for certain benefits, but opposite sex partners are not, (even though the military chaplains may officiate same sex marriages).

Pharmer proposes that the government remove itself from the marriage business entirely.  Its various and self contradictory interventions have left a complete mess, which has nothing to do with the protection of children, or with committed relationships between people.

Let the churches handle marriage for those who respect it as a sacrament before God, and a commitment between each other, and to protect  resultant children.     Let the rest of the people who want to play house, draw up their own legal contracts and sign them with their lawyers present.

Obama Dumps Gay Marraige Again

Obama announced on MTV that he won’t be pushing gay marrage in his second term. He milked that for as much money as he possibly can, and doesn’t need the issue anymore. Apparently the Defense of Marriage Act is going to stay on the books.
Here’s the REAL truth. Even though Obama has Personal affinity for gay issues, he also has future ambitions after the presidency. He’s too young and egotistical to fade into the sunset like a good ex-president. The Islamic nations are not going to want him as head of the U.N. or in any other major position of global leadership if his sympathies and propensities remain a public matter.
Politics is a tightrope, you know.

Pharmer Thinks Obama is Out the Door- Black Community is Turning Away

American Blacks have been suffering most under the policies of Barack Hussein Obama. There’s no surprise to Pharmer that he’s losing their votes bigtime.
What’s the worst problem? They don’t like the increased unemployment, the attack on the family, and Barack’s gay marriage endorsement.
Rebel Pundit did some interviews in the Black communities of Chicago, and the results are worth a look.

Cops: LGBT Volunteer Shoots Family Research Council’s Security Guard

Cops: LGBT volunteer shoots conservative group's guard – CBS News.

Floyd Corkins II has been arrested for the shooting of a security guard in the lobby of the Family Research Council, a socially conservative group based in Washington DC.

Corkins has been a volunteer at the LGBT Community Center in Washington DC for about a half year. Apparently the FRC’s stance on gay marriage, and in support of Chick-fil-A had served as an irritant to the shooter, although his motive is officially said to be unknown.

The security guard, who has been called a hero by the D.C. police chief, has been hospitalized, in stable condition. He had been shot in the arm when he stopped the gunman in the lobby. He then wrestled the suspect to the ground. The FBI is said to be investigating the incident.

Rep. Alcee Hastings Says Allen West Sent Chick-fil-A Chicken and Biscuits to Black Caucus Meeting | Video | TheBlaze.com

Rep. Alcee Hastings Says Allen West Sent Chick-fil-A Chicken and Biscuits to Black Caucus Meeting | Video | TheBlaze.com.

Alcee Hastings was offended when Allen West had Chick-fil-A catered at a Congressional Black Caucus meeting about six months ago.

Everyone was deeply offended says Hastings, though Angela Melvin, a spokesperson for West reports that not a plate of Chick-fil-A food was left after that meeting.

The Huff-Po reports on this event in the light of the latest free speech controversy involving the restaurant chain, though Allen West employed their services a half year earlier.

Pharmer calls a WAAAAAAMBULANCE for Alcee Hastings, and posts a more useful message from Allen West.

Dems Dump Their Senate Primary Winner in Tennessee

Mark Clayton, who won the Democrat primary to run against Republican Senator Bob Corker, has been dumped by his party for being too conservative.
Clayton is vice president of a group called Public Advocate of the United States. Below are ideas which this group upholds, (quoted from their own website) which are ANATHEMA to the Democrat party,

A federal traditional marriage (man-woman) amendment to the Constitution to defend tradional marriage from assaults from those who claim to promote “same sex marriage”;

School prayer and the freedom of religious expression in public places;

Faith-based and community initiatives;

Pro-life legislation;

The promotion and protection of the Boy Scouts, organized sports and other activities that reinforce morality, accountability and leadership in our youth;

Tax cuts and the exposure of wasteful “pork barrel” spending for the benefit of liberal special interests;

Equality under the law, regardless of one’s sexual orientation.

The Tennessee Dems so strongly oppose these values that they threw out the winner of their primary, and have essentially conceded the Senate race to the Republicans.

Gay Employees at Chick-fil-A Caught in the Middle.

Gay Chick-Fil-A Employees Reveal What It Has Been Like To Work There Lately – Business Insider.

We have some indication that Chick-Fil-A hasn’t been worrying about their employee’s private sex lives in the above article. But worklife is different now. Gays working for the company have been caught in the middle of the leftie war against their company, which was touched off by CEO Dan Cathy’s personal belief about gay marriage.

Apparently the homosexual employees are either getting blamed for hating gays, because of the gay marriage issue, or being thanked for opposition to it.

Some of what they hear is off point and crazy: “I hope you choke on your chicken” and either support or opposition because “your company hates gays”.

The situation of homosexual employees at Chick-fil-A brings home the point that everyone’s lives would be easier, including the those of gays, if the lefties would quit their war on freedom of religion. We notice that the lefties prefer to attack Christians, for opposing gay marriage, while at the same time supporting the sects of Muslims who chop the heads off of homosexuals.

Another case in point: In the U.S. HIV remains largely an affliction of men who have sex with men. Leftie heroes,Obama and Kathleen Sebelius, are working to close down the Catholic Health Care Institutions in the U.S. by insisting that they participate in birth control, sterilizations and abortion. By this means they will be shutting off a large proportion of care for patients with HIV. It’s estimated that world wide, 25% of health programs for HIV patients are provided by the Catholic Church. which has been at the forefront of that mission from the beginning.

Chick-Fil-A Lines on Appreciation Day

You can click on the photo gallery below to see a collection of crowded Chick-Fil-A restaurants on Aug 1. Americans are responding to a statement that Chick-Fil-A does not represent Chicago values, and efforts to prevent restaurants from being opened there and in Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and San Francisco.
All over the U.S. the 1600 Chick-Fil-A restaurants have been enjoying booming business, and even some referrals from competing fast food places, on this  Appreciation Day.

Click here for some Commentary at Hillbuzz concerning the Tamminator’s pilgrimage to Chick-Fil-A at the University of Minnesota. The place was packed despite school being in summer session, and massive construction occurring outside. The Tamminator, who believes in the First Amendment, sez: “Freedom is delicious!”

Jim Henson Co. & Muppets Sever Ties With Chick-fil-A Over Gay Marriage

Jim Henson Company Severs Ties With Chick-Fil-A Over Gay Marriage | Muppets | TheBlaze.com.

The children’s entertainment company which brings you the Muppets is ending its partnership with Chick-fil-A  due to the  latter company’s  CEO supporting  Traditional Marriage.

Henson’s company has been a supporter of Gay Marriage, and the money which it has obtained through partnership to Chick-fil-A will be donated to the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation- GLAAD.

Eat more Chicken!

With such a strong stance against Traditional Marriage, perhaps the Jim Henson Company is not a suitable purveyor of entertainment to very young children.

African-American Christian Coalition Can’t Get Meeting With Obama

African-American Christian Coalition Can’t Get Meeting With Obama.

The fallout among Black Christians who oppose Obama’s stance on gay marriage is beginning to get serious.

The Coalition of African American Pastors have demanded a meeting with Obama, so far to no avail. Reverend Bill Owens asks why Obama is refusing to meet with men of faith, of his own race. Coalition leaders are ready to ask members of their congregations to refrain from voting for Obama if he continues in his refusal to meet with them.

Teen’s Video Banned on Youtube

Sixteen-year-old Madeleine McAulay, of North Carolina produced a video of her opinion on the definition of marriage. She thinks it should remain between one man and one women. Youtube found this video to be not in keeping with their policies. Breitbart.com is promulgating the video in order to counteract the censorship.

McAulay has a Bible based view, which will not please the anti-religion crowd.

Most are confused about the reasons for a social (governmental) recognition of marriage. It is not for the couple getting married. It is an institution to protect the process of producing and bringing up children. They do better in homes which have a father and a mother, and so this situation has been endorsed by society for many thousands of years. Gay unions do not result in the production of children. That kind of social, governmental protection is therefore not necessary.

Chrissie Mathews’ Gaffe Beats Biden’s

Matthews tells Bishop Harry Jackson “I hope you evolve……. I’m just teasing”

Obama has been getting some blow back from the Black Evangelical Churches due to his endorsement of gay marriage. Of Americans, more Blacks than Whites consider this newly announced political position to be a problem.

Homosexuality on UMC’s docket (OneNewsNow.com)

Homosexuality on UMC's docket (OneNewsNow.com).

2012 might be the last possible year for the liberal faction of the United Methodist Church to obtain official approval for practicing gay clergy and for same sex marriages. This topic tops the list of items for discussion at the United Methodist General Conference in Tampa, Fl.
The opportunity for leftists to hold sway on these issues is closing as that Church is shrinking in America and growing in Africa, where the members are much more conservative. Almost 40 percent of the delegates at the conference are coming from Africa and other countries, and these people will likely be the ones to save their church from its leftist Americans.

The United Methodist Church in America has more significant problem which should be recognized. It is a signatory to the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice. Perhaps the African delegates can fix this problem too.

PayPal Investigates Traditional Family Groups Following Request from All Out

PayPal launches investigation of pro-family groups following homosexual complaints | LifeSiteNews.com.

The leftie censors are at it again…. wanting PayPal to stop doing business with several groups who oppose promotion of the gay lifestyle and gay marriage.

PayPal is now looking into those groups.   All of these net businesses and forums  are pressured to eliminate “hate speech”, which for lefties connotes  any and all forms of opposition to their ideology.

Click for  a petition to request that Pay Pal not cooperate with the censorship effort. 

There’s an internet rule:  ‘Censor not, lest ye be censored’.

What results for PayPal  is a strict business decision. Which group is bigger?  The censoring group, “All Out”, or those of us who value internet freedom in general?

Watch Lifesite News or this blog to see if these Traditional Family  (anti-gay marriage) groups get kicked from PayPal.

** Note 9/15 article from Citizen link. The above article is from 9/16. The situation is not yet settled.

Brooklyn Catholic school rejects donation from politician who voted for gay ‘marriage’ | LifeSiteNews.com

Brooklyn Catholic school rejects donation from politician who voted for gay ‘marriage’ | LifeSiteNews.com.

New York Democrat assemblyman Joe Lentol normally gives a small donation to a Catholic school around graduation time.   This year, Queen of Rosary Catholic Academy returned his donation.

This is in compliance with a request from Bishop Nicholas Dimarzio for the Catholic institutions to refuse any ‘honors, donations or distinctions bestowed’ on them by the politicians who passed New York’s gay marriage law.

Pharmer wishes that more of the U.S. Catholic  bishops had felt so strongly about the abortion, embryonic stem cell, and physician assisted suicide issues.

Gay marriage fails to get on California ballot | Reuters

Gay marriage fails to get on California ballot | Reuters.

There wasn’t enough energy in California to even put the issue of gay marriage  on the ballot in 2010.   So activists are left only with the hope that courts will overturn the ban, and, as with other leftist ideas,  ram it  down the throats of a public which opposes it.

D.C. Archdiocese Forced to Drop Coverage for Spouses over Same-Sex “Marriage”

D.C. Archdiocese Forced to Drop Coverage for Spouses over Same-Sex “Marriage”.

Already the Washington DC Archdiocese was forced to close its foster care program due to the new laws affecting gay marriage.

Now it has cut off health care benefits to all spouses of all new employees, in order to avoid being forced to recognize gay marriage.

Remember……… Obamacare with its abortion and death panels could similarly  close all of the Catholic health care.   This could  instantly cause 16 percent of the health care in the U.S. to disappear.   More could be gone if other religiously run institutions follow suit.

Since Muslims also do not like abortion, it is unlikely that they could fill this void, even if they had command of the other resources.  One severe limitation is the high degree to which anticoagulation treatment protocols used in the hospitals are LEANING ON PORK. Yes it’s true,  heparin and the variety of low molecular weight analogs are PORK products.
