FYI - The Liberal Desire to Destroy Marriage

I really need to pay better attention. Because I do things like write blogs, I get myself added to news and information lists with the expectation that some of the more common issue goups will send me something interesting. Well, the Family Resource Council never fails to dissappoint.

Did you know all liberals are "out to destroy marriage?" Gee, I didn't. But according to the FRC, they are. How do they know? Because "pundits" say so. Which "pundits?" They don't say. They also want "to destroy every other traditional moral value you and I hold dear." According to the FRC, "If marriage is redefined to include same-sex couple, every one of America's founding freedoms--especially religious freedom--will be sacrificed on the altars of "tolerance" and "political correctness." By passing hate crime legislation that specifies crimes against gays, liberals purportedly will "criminalize the expression of biblical values on sexual morality." And the same people who claim there is a "war on Christmas" are the same people who claim that arguing for "equal rights" for gays and lesbians is nothing more than a war on familes and marriage itself.

Wow, this must be serious stuff! So where are these pundits who say liberals are out to destroy marriage and all of America's founding freedoms? I've been looking around and the only ones I can find are conservatives. Names like:

Rush Limbaugh
Sean Hannity
Neal Bortz
Laura Ingram
John Gibson

and the other usual suspects. Now, looking for any liberal groups that have "destroying marriage" in their message, I find no liberal group making that claim.

Not the ACLU
Not the Democratic Party
Not the Human Rights Campaign
Not the United Nations
Not the National Organization for Women

So where does the FRC get this idea that "all liberals" want to "destroy marriage?" From themselves. From their supporters. From the like-minded.

Democrats need to address this stuff head-on and make sure that community churches know Democrats are not out to "destroy marriage" or any "founding American freedom." Sometimes equal rights as stated in the Constition really does mean equal rights.
