Family Research Council Rant -- again, no research findings, just political rantings |
Kerry & Edwards: A Solidly Pro-Abortion Team
Sen. John Kerry has selected a vice presidential running mate whose Senate
record mirrors his own. Both John Kerry and John Edwards have a zero percent
rating from FRC, and a 100 percent rating from NARAL Pro-Choice America, and
both men have a history of opposing judicial nominees simply because of
their deeply held religious beliefs. As recently as this weekend, Sen. Kerry
stated that his personal belief that life begins at conception should not
keep him from serving as President because it does not influence his public
policy record. However, both he and Sen. Edwards have repeatedly refused to
extend that same courtesy - the presumption that one's religious beliefs
shouldn't disqualify him from public service - to countless judicial
nominees who happen to be pro-life. Today the U.S. Senate will hold a vote
on judicial nominee Leon Holmes. Mr. Holmes has been attacked by Kerry and
Edwards' Democratic colleagues not because of a spotty judicial record, but
rather simply because he holds private, Christian beliefs. If Sen. Kerry is
such a defender of the ability to harbor private beliefs without allowing
them to impact public decisions, he should call off his colleagues who are
bashing Mr. Holmes as if he is unable to do the same. If Catholic beliefs do
not disqualify John Kerry from being a U.S. President, those same beliefs
shouldn't disqualify Mr. Holmes from becoming a federal judge.

Hundreds Gather at Texas Capitol on the 4th
Hundreds of Christians in Texas marked the 4th of July with a gathering on
the steps of the state capitol in support of marriage, even as temperatures
reached near 100 degrees. At the request of organizers, I traveled to Austin
over the weekend with my family to speak at a local church prior to speaking
at the rally. In an attempt to disrupt the rally, a small group of
homosexual activists hurled insults and chanted worn out slogans. It is
amazing how those that trumpet tolerance are the ones who want to trample on
the rights of those who disagree with them. I've done a lot of different
things on the 4th of July, but none was more fitting than what those
congregated on the steps of the Texas Capitol did on Sunday. I spoke about
the black robed tyranny that has taken from our children the right to pray
in the very schools we are forced to fund. It has also removed the Ten
Commandments from public places and has said our Pledge cannot contain the
words "One Nation Under God." And now those same unelected judges are in
league with radical homosexual activists attempting to redefine the most
fundamental institution in our society - marriage. Fortunately the crafters
of our Constitution put in place a method by which judicial tyrants could be
constrained: amending the Constitution. Citizens of the Lone Star state see
the need to amend the U.S. Constitution to protect the institution of
marriage in their state. If your Senators have yet to pledge support for the
marriage protection amendment, contact them again this week and ask them to
restrain these unelected judges and protect the vital institution of
marriage.

I don't see how going on a demagogical tirade against straw men in favor of
establishing theocracy in the US is particularly approriate to Independence
Day, especially when you want to put in place the first amendment to the
Constitution which would restrict the freedom of citizens rather than
restricting the power of government.
