Marriage Amendment Future

President Bush publicly did something today he should have five and a half years ago: Propose a Marriage Amendment that bans same-sex marriage or defines marriage as between a male and a female. The timing reeks of the odor of politics.

The timing might rally the Conservative troops one last time, however if or when failure occurs by a large margin it will be a huge emotional let down. That is why I understand why "Conservative Culture" says not to tie your emotions to the outcome of this cause.

It is not a good thing when a lame duck President with very low popularity poll ratings finally tosses a bone to the base that put him in Office. It would truly be a miracle from God to get a 2/3 approval rating from both Houses of Congress let alone one. The irony is I think this Amendment would easily pass State ratification; it is the Leftists in Congress that will prevent it to being presented to the American people to decide.

That is why the Leftist have been battling with Bush Appointees to the Judiciary for five and one half years: The Democratic Party agenda will be ratified in the Courts, not by the American people. For better of for worse, the Founding Fathers simply made it too difficult to override a Judicial System dominated by a political agenda.

I pray for the sake of America that "Conservative Culture" is wrong, if not America will slide into the annals of lost civilizations due to debasement of culture.
