Happy birthday America! .. Marriage was made by God to serve His ends, ends which faith and reason can both look upon and say with confidence, "It is good."
233 years ago, a group of extraordinary men put America's founding creed into words. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."
I was thinking of the Declaration this morning--one could search the world over and never find a more succinct declaration of the importance of the union of faith with reason.
We are a nation founded in truth--moral truth--and sustained in that commitment by our faith that we have a Creator to whom we are responsible. Truth is bigger than any one of us. Truth is the foundation of justice itself.
WE CAN STILL DE-RAIL THIS TRAIN - Please help us stop this S909 the misnamed Hate Crimes bill - thank you!

JUDICIARY HEARING CONFIRMS "PUNISH PASTORS, PROTECT PEDOPHILES." WITNESSES BIASED: 4 FOR "HATE CRIMES," 2 CONSERVATIVES ALLOWED.
The Senate Judiciary Committee held hearings Thursday from 10 am on the "Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act," (which is better known to conservatives as the "Pedophile Protection Act,"), but
did not vote on S.909 as a stand-alone bill, and did not yet forward to the full Senate,
giving us a few more days to act. The bill broadly defines many "sexual orientations" requiring protection by the Feds, endangering free speech.
The
pro-homosexual, anti-faith bill, is sponsored by Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and 43 Democrats (and 2 Liberal Republicans from Maine), and is pushed hard by President Obama's Administration, but it faced such strong resistance by conservatives (including threat of filibuster or faith-protecting amendments by pro-faith Senator Jim DeMint, R-SC), so instead
Democrats had announced they would try to hide the bill as an amendment to another "must-move" bill, denying committee hearings, and completely side-stepping the Republicans right to debate and amend. But now thanks to your participation in fax campaigns like this one, our public pressure forced a minimal 2-hour public debate, which exposed more anti-Christian bias,
but Democrats so far have not permitted amendments.
... Please call the Senators at the end of this article - Please call now, today! Thank you!
URGENT ACTION NEEDED ON ‘JAIL-A-PASTOR/PROTECT-A-PEDOPHILE’ BILL
Your immediate help is needed!!! -- The Senate Judiciary Committee will be holding a hearing on the so-called hate crimes bill (S. 909), the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act, this coming Thursday at 10 a.m.
-
S. 909 is a “jail-a-pastor/protect-a-pedophile,” bill. It will add “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” as protected minority groups under federal law. Neither of these terms are defined in the bill.
-
S. 909, the so-called hate crimes bill will protect a multitude of bizarre sexual orientations – including pedophiles and sexual sadists – but will threaten pastors who may give a Biblical teaching on the gay agenda. It ensures that crimes against a transgender, drag queen, gay man or lesbian are treated more harshly than a sexual assault on a child. Under this measure, pedophiles are a protected class. As a result, if a parent assaults a pedophile for molesting a child, the parent can be convicted of a hate crime and receive an enhanced sentence.

Senate poised to vote at any time on "hate crimes" legislation
Senate poised to vote at any time on "hate crimes" legislation.
Punishing wrong beliefs about homosexuality is its sole purpose.
Dear Friend,
The Obama administration has signaled that it plans to secure passage of S.909, the "Hate Crimes" bill, this week. The House has already passed and the Senate is expected to vote this week on legislation that would create a new class of crimes based on the victim's "actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity." Even more troubling is that S.909 could create special protections for pedophiles. Democrats voted down an amendment to the bill that would have excluded pedophilia and other "sexual orientations" from the definition of "sexual orientation."
"If a mother hears that their child has been raped, and she slaps the assailant with her purse, she is now gone after as a hate criminal because this is a protected class," said Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas.

1. “We’re equal under the law, so we’re getting married.”
It is true that everyone is equal under the law. This equality, however, is juridical, not biological. It does not and cannot eliminate the anatomical, physiological and psychological differences between the sexes, which create the conditions for marriage and constitute its natural foundation.
