Romney Stands Strong on Gay Issue

Romney decries California following Mass. on gay marriage

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Former Massachusetts Gov.

Mitt Romney said today he’s disappointed California’s Supreme Court has followed his home state’s highest court in legalizing gay marriage.

Addressing thousands at an annual convention of the National Rifle Association, the former Republican presidential contender said he was unhappy “to see one more time a one-vote majority of a state Supreme Court overturn the will of its people. That is simply wrong.”

He also declared that cultural values were under attack, at one point describing his philosophical opponents as “looney liberals.” As he spoke, he sported a flag pin on his suit lapel, a display of patriotism he did not follow during his campaign.

“Liberals try to substitute their values for the rights that are enumerated in the Constitution,” Romney said. “They try and put abortion rights and gay rights into the Constitution while at the same time taking out religious liberty and the Second Amendment. And it’s time for us to try to stop trying to substitute counterfeit values for the values that were written into the Constitution by the Founding Fathers.”

John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting, as well as former UN ambassador John Bolton and White House political adviser Karl Rove, also addressed the crowd.

Romney, however, offered special perspective on gay marriage because of his home state’s experience with the issue.

In November 2003, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court — by a 4-3 vote, approved same-sex marriages. They began the following May. Romney supported an amendment to the state constitution to ban gay marriage, but the Legislature thwarted that effort.

Now, by an identical 4-3 vote, California’s high court has struck down laws barring gay marriages. Weddings could begin next month. Opponents say they will now seek a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.

Romney described Americans as “family oriented” and said the majority of them oppose gay marriage.

Critical thinking: Evaluating the Mainstream Media

Posted by Joy Bischoff under: Constitution in Peril.

Guest Blog by Sharon Anderson

Americans are being snookered and most of us don’t even know it. To see how this is happening and how we can be better informed, let’s look at something called the Transatlantic Policy Network.

A recent headline of the Deseret News read:

Bennett touts trans-Atlantic trade plan

The article began, WASHINGTON — Sen. Bob Bennett has presented the European Commission with a plan to help the United States and the European Union break down regulations that make it harder for either side to trade products with the other.

Bennett, a Utah Republican, is chairman of the Transatlantic Policy Network, an organization dedicated to strengthening the relationship between the United States and Europe. Members of the network came up with the plan and will bring it back to their respective home governments for consideration.

“The focus is not on tariff barriers, which you normally think of when you talk about free trade. The focus is on regulatory problems,” Bennett said. “We are talking about ways in which you can get coherence in regulatory regimes on both sides of the Atlantic.”

http://www.deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,660199900,00.html

The goal is to have a “Transatlantic Market” in place by 2015, and the article makes the Transatlantic Market sound reasonable and good.

BUT THERE IS SOMETHING SUSPICIOUS GOING ON HERE. It is simple to do an online search to get a different point of view.

In a World Net Daily article we learn that the Transatlantic Economic Council appears to be following a plan written by a world government advocate in 1939 and that the Transatlantic Economic Council is tasked with creating the Transatlantic Common Market regulatory infrastructure. The infrastructure would not require congressional approval, like a new free-trade agreement would.

Bennett confirmed that a proposed initiative would allow the Transatlantic Economic Council to integrate and harmonize administrative rules and regulations between the U.S. and the EU “in a very quiet way,” without introducing a new free trade agreement to Congress.
The article also states, ” Writing in the Fall 2007 issue of the Streit Council journal “Freedom and Union,” World Bank economist Domenec Ruiz Devesa openly acknowledged that “transatlantic economic integration, though important in itself, is not the end.”

“As understood by Jean Monnet,” he continued, “economic integration must and will lead to political integration, since an integrated market requires common institutions producing common rules to govern it.”

It all sounds like a move toward a one world government, doesn’t it? Hang on to your freedoms and our sovereignty, America. Someone it trying to rob you blind.

Note: Bennett rarely reveals his true colors as he helps implement the Globalist agenda. He is very good at deceiving his Utah constituents.

California Supreme Court overturns gay marriage ban

Posted by Terrie Soberg under: Judaeo-Christian Values Under Attack; What's News; World Affairs.

I just found this on the Breitbart website:

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The California Supreme Court has overturned a ban on gay marriage, paving the way for California to become the second state where gay and lesbian residents can marry. The case involved a series of lawsuits seeking to overturn a voter- approved law that defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

With the ruling, California could become the second state after Massachusetts where gay and lesbian residents can marry.

“What happens in California, either way, will have a huge impact around the nation. It will set the tone,” said Geoffrey Kors, executive director of the gay rights group Equality California.

California already offers same-sex couples who register as domestic partners the same legal rights and responsibilities as married spouses, including the right to divorce and to sue for child support. It’s therefore unclear what additional relief state lawmakers could offer short of marriage if the court renders the existing ban unconstitutional.

A coalition of religious and social conservative groups is attempting to put a measure on the November ballot that would enshrine California’s current laws banning gay marriage in the state constitution.

The Secretary of State is expected to rule by the end of June whether the sponsors gathered enough signature to qualify the marriage amendment, similar to ones enacted in 26 other states.

The cases before the California court were brought by the city of San Francisco, two dozen gay and lesbian couples, Equality California and another gay rights group in March 2004 after the court halted San Francisco’s monthlong same-sex wedding march that took place at Mayor Gavin Newsom’s direction.

A Challenge in November

Posted by Joy Bischoff under: Constitution in Peril; Presidential Election 2008.

Many Republican candidates may fear a loss in November and be tempted to move left in order to garner more votes. We would suggest that instead of compromising conservative values, that those candidates work to explain the principles of the Constitution and the long-term importance of adhering to those principles. Let all of us to encourage them to hold firmly to our legacy of freedom.

GOP Stunned By Loss in Mississippi

By Reid Wilson

In a major blow to national Republicans, a Mississippi congressional seat that once voted for President Bush by a twenty-five point margin elected a Democrat on Tuesday. Prentiss County Chancery Clerk Travis Childers beat out Republican candidate Greg Davis, the mayor of Southaven, by a 54%-46% margin, a spread that several Republican strategists on Capitol Hill characterized as a startling wake-up call for a party in dire straits…

The loss has already shaken establishment Republicans in Washington. After losing special elections in Illinois and Louisiana, the House GOP conference already expects a bad year for their party. But those two districts voted for President Bush by eleven and nineteen points, respectively, not by a whopping twenty five points. “People are going to want change,” said a top aide to a leading House Republican. “The excuses, that [Davis] didn’t have the resources or that he wasn’t from the right part of the district, that’s just not going to hold up.”

As Childers heads to Washington in the next several days to take the oath of office, Republicans now find themselves at a 37-seat disadvantage in Congress. And with a difficult election coming in November, one in which they will likely find themselves financially and politically outgunned, national Republicans are already making plans for the future. No one, though, is likely to try to force leadership changes before November. “I don’t imagine anyone running against Chairman Cole,” the adviser to the endangered Republican said. “Because Who would want this job?”

Suppression of the New Testament

Posted by Joy Bischoff under: Guest Blogger; Judaeo-Christian Values Under Attack.

This information does not mean we are in any way anti-Semite. I have always loved the Jewish people and believe they have a special role in future events. I am sure the average Jew would think this ridiculous.

Hate Crimes and the New Testament

Did you know that the US State Department has an office to monitor and combat Anti-Semitism and that Christians may be at risk for believing in the Bible because certain passages in the New Testament are considered Anti-Semitic. (See http://www.state.gov/g/drl/seas/.)

For example, if you agree that Jewish leaders incited a Jewish mob and persuaded Pilate to have Christ crucified, the government now considers you “anti-Semitic.” Reverend T. Pike reports that “you are part of a worldwide scourge the U.S., Canada, Australia, and 55 European nations are uniting to suppress. The State Department ‘Office of Global Anti-Semitism’ says the New Testament claim that the Jews had Christ crucified is “classical anti-Semitism’ —a historic form of hate. . . .”

In the many countries now ruled by hate laws, it is already a federal offense to repeat the claim of New Testament “hate literature” that the Jews had Christ crucified. The State Department’s equation of biblical Christianity with “hate” is an ominous indication. The Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith—architect of hate laws worldwide (and primary ideological and statistics-gathering force behind the Office of Global Anti-Semitism)—is moving rapidly to create bias against Christians as haters, particularly of Jews and homosexuals . . .

Bible believers aren’t the only ones at risk. The State Department report also says it is anti-Semitic to: Allege “intentionally or unintentionally” that the state of Israel persecutes Palestinians; criticize “intentionally or unintentionally” Zionism or Israel if such criticism leads to lowering of public opinion of Jews or the government, military, or people of Israel; . . .
