McCain's Man in Ohio

From Right Wing Watch.

Here's McCain's man in Ohio, and his "spiritual guide," as he called him in Cincinnati last week, Rod Parsley.

Wow. I wonder what HE's got going on on the side, that would make him THAT
deeply concerned about the personal behaviors of others.

Did you read about Obama in Wyoming? Yippee!!!

He was harder to watch than to listen to--nice looking man--but his voice and style don't match his appearance. If I closed my eyes, I heard an old-style southern --maybe black --preacher --very fervent --emotionally stirred and stirring--but he doesn't look emotionally stirred himself. And so there is something incongruent and embarrassing about him as he is featured on a u-tube video in the style he uses.

But I agree with him. I know that is the difference between social conservative and social liberals and the liberals don't understand why this issue matters --"the personal behaviors of others" Roxie calls it.

It isn't their behaviors that are at issue. It's the re-defining of marriage as between any two people --regardless of sex. It's an absurdity we never thought possible when I was growing up.

the behaviors have always been with us --just like adultery, pedophilia, rape, the desire to transgender, transvestitism, prostitution, porn -- and most rare of all I hope, bestiality. But these others have not sponsored pride parades or asked for legal sanction through the institution called "marriage." Which institution is the one that brings children into the world with a father and mother who are married to each other, stay together to be the grandparents together, provide male and female role modeling for their sons and daughters, and a stable, emotional and economic support system to bear, raise, nurture, protect, supervise and educate the next generation. So that we will have a future --future military and workers to support the older generations --future married parents to bring on the future generations.

Homosexual relationships are comparatively the end of the road --they don't make children and just don't need the perks of the hetero married who volunteer to take on the burdens of bearing and rearing kids. If they have kids, they didn't make them as a gay couple. There is a father in those cases who needs to pay child support. When two men adopt a child, they both work and afford a nanny. And that mother figure changes through the years. The child has no mother.
