True North

What the left often accuses Christians of doing: New York's Governor Paterson has unilaterally ordered all state agencies to recognize gay marriages from California and Canada, even though there is a proscription against gay New Yorkers themselves from tying the knot.

As Gavin Newsom proclaimed, his "moral view" of gay marriage will be slammed-dunked down our throats, no matter what the majority of Americans think.

As New York's Catholic bishops finally (rightly) stated,

"just as the state cannot declare a man to be a 'mother' or a woman to be a 'father,' it can not declare a same-sex union to be a 'marriage."

Just as a pig cannot be labelled a horse. But as liberals are wont to do, they think they have free rein to re-define language as they see fit. By re-defining language, (as they are prone to do with the Constitution) they get to set the terms of the argument.

Sticks and stones may indeed break bones, but liberals have a way of wielding and twisting language that can in the end be every bit as formidable a weapon. Our charge as conservatives continues to be constantly on guard and counter their deceptive tactics with the most formidable weapon in the history of Man: The truth.
