Glorifying Gay Marriage instead of Desperate Housewives

Yesterday I was forced to make do with final winners of the Academy Awards, since it replaced ABC’s Desperate Housewives, CBS’s The Unit was a rerun, and NASCAR Racing replaced FOX’s American Dad. Usually I don’t watch the Oscars because I think it’s rigged. I mean dose a piece of white-trash like rap artist Eminem really deserve such a high honor for the trash he calls music??? My opinion for the Oscars were once again confirmed with the Oscar for Best Actor going to Mr. Sean Penn for his role of glorifying gay marriage as a homosexual. Excuse me while I take a moment to vomit … anyway in his acceptance speech he glorified gay marriage and made it a point to say shame on people like me who are against a "civil right" as he put it. Well Mr. Penn, allow me to show you where you are wrong. A civil right is basically what you will find in the first 10 Amendments, that’s why it called the Bill of Rights, and although there have been some additions made with the changing times you will not find “marriage” or the union of a couple mentioned once in any amendment of the Constitution. So where is gay marriage or the actual ceremony of marriage a civil right??? The Liberals would have you believe that it is protected by the 14th Amendment and that the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) violates that, so let’s look at that.

The 14th Amendment:
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or the property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. ”

By this, a gay person can be gay, alive, and own property. Being married is not listed there. The DOMA of 1996 is a federal law that defines marriage as traditional and goes to allow states to deny another state’s homosexual marriage. Sounds like a violation of the 14th Amendment and the 10th Amendment too. However Article 4 of the Constitution gives the States the “Credit” of “public … Records” such as records of marriage and by that same article allows Congress to “prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records, and Proceedings shall be proved and the Effect thereof.” So in closing, although Marriage itself is not protected by the Constitution by name, the DOMA is Constitutional, as is states passing laws and amending their state constitutions to ban this disgusting, un-American, and unholy union because people don‘t want it. Hence California passing a law against it and voting in favor of a state constitutional ban.

Who is Eric Holder???

The National Rifle Association wants you to believe that with the Democrat’s hold in Congress stronger than it was 2 years ago and with the most liberal Senator now President our right to bear Arms is in the most danger it has ever been in. Taxes on gun purchases to drive the prices too high up, repealing of federal laws that protect gun makers from frivolous lawsuits, another ban on specific firearms, and that’s just to name a few. We should all be afraid of this and not just for the next 2 or 4 or God forbid 8 years, but always. It is a constitutional right to own a weapon of our choosing to ensure our own safety as the last line of defense. It should not matter how long the barrel is, how many rounds of ammunition the magazine holds, or how many rounds it can fire per trigger pull. It should not even matter if it is a firearm, a knife, a baton or nightstick, et cetera. So with this liberal sided government, one must wonder about what is going to happen. I consider the right to bare Arms more important than any, and I mean any, other right. That is why I felt so srongly on the issue to address my concerns about President Obama’s nomination of Mr. Eric Holder, an anti-gun federal attorney from the Clinton Administration, as Attorney General to my representaion in the Senate. Last week I recived the following e-mail form my favorit Texas Senator,
John Cornyn.
 
Dear Mr. Austerman:

Thank you for contacting me regarding the confirmation of Eric Holder as Attorney General of the United States. I appreciate having the benefit of your comments on this issue.

After carefully studying Mr. Holder’s record as Deputy Attorney General, I remain doubtful regarding his judgment and ability to operate independent from political influence. Additionally, I have concerns that Mr. Holder’s record demonstrated a failure to understand the profound threat posed by radical Islamic terrorism. And I remain troubled by his apparent hostility to the constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

During Senate Confirmation, Mr. Holder’s answers to the questions posed by the Senate Judiciary Committee failed to alleviate my concerns. During his testimony, Mr. Holder avoided giving a full and candid account of his actions regarding former-President Clinton’s pardon of Marc Rich, the clemency offered to 16 terrorists, and other matters that gave rise to my concerns about his judgment and independence.

My utmost concern, however, is that Mr. Holder fails to fully understand the unique challenges and threats posed to our country by radical Islamic terrorism. I fear that Mr. Holder is not prepared to lead the Justice Department at a moment when this nation is waging an asymmetric war whose battlefield extends across the globe and onto U.S. soil. While I was pleased that Mr. Holder testified that protecting America from attack would be his most important job as Attorney General, his public statements regarding the War on Terror often betray a willingness to advance ideological rhetoric without fully appreciating the sensitivity and complexity of a particular issue.
For these reasons I opposed the confirmation of Eric Holder as Attorney General by the Senate Judiciary Committee. Although I am disappointed that on February 2, 2009, Eric Holder was confirmed by the full Senate to be Attorney General of the United States, I hope that he will study the important issues facing his Department carefully and independently, and will use power responsibly—and not simply cater to the extreme voices on the left.

I appreciate the opportunity to represent Texans in the United States Senate. Thank you for taking the time to contact me.

Sincerely,

JOHN CORNYN
United States Senator
 
So I not the only one who questions our new President and his cabinet choices and neither should you.

The Bush-Cheney Legacy

As the country rings in our new president we say goodbye to the Bush-Cheney Administration, if that’s what you call booing the outgoing President of the United States while he’s wishing fair well and good luck to the crowd on Inauguration Day. The lack of respect the American people have for a man who has done more good than harm is completely unpatriotic and at times criminal. The people have accused Mr. Bush of criminal wrongdoing. They have even gone to say he is a constitutional violating racist and murder. However that is not true, the real problem is the Left-wing Liberals who have spent the last 2 years twisting every word, every problem, every issue, until it fits their way and the American people bought it on Election Day. Has George Bush violated the Constitution??? The answer is yes. Like every president in the past several years, he along with Congress has violated the 10th Amendment with so many acts of legislation that takes the power away from the states. Take this stupid TV transfer to digital act that is about to take place later this month. Where in the Constitution dose it say anything about public broadcasting rights??? Why should the federal government be allowed to force all public (not government provided) TV stations across the country to change how they produce their signal??? Dose it in any way make our country safer??? Dose it affect how our government operates??? No, that is why it’s a matter for the state governments which are better able to tailor their TV stations for their unique region and populace. Just like the No Child Left Behind Act. Congress and the White House again violated the 10th Amendment by setting federal government standards for state government school. So that’s it. That is the big constitutional violation you will find in the history of the Bush Administration. The War on Terror is an actual war, as declared by Congress, and has been carried out as required by sections 1 and 2 of the Constitution. How we treated terrorist we caught in the last 8 years dose not violate the constitution because they are enemy combatants in an actual war, not the common felon as outlined in the 5th Amendment. The Supreme Court would have you believe otherwise but one thing they forget is this is WAR. So let’s be honest, President Bush and Dick Cheney have kept our country safer, they went after a foreign threat to America that had the time to move their arsenal of Weapons of Mass Destruction before we invaded, and just like war, troops died. That is what you people are really upset about, you think Bush lied to us about the weapons, but we know that at one point in time those weapons did exist in Iraq so obviously they were relocated before we could get them, and in the course a lot of troops died. But no troop in Iraq has died in vain, we have brought democracy to Iraq and we are catching al-Qaeda terrorist there which makes it part of the War on Terror. This has not been a pointless war and for those who say differently you dishonor the memory of those who have died in service. George Bush has been a good president, not the greatest, but better then his predecessor and better than his father, but the Left-wing Liberals have twisted every word, every issue, and every choice he has made to blind you from the good he has done. We were lucky to have him and Dick Cheney. They left behind a legacy that we should dare not judge until the real liars and the real racist are gone.
