“I pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide, but to unify,” Joe Biden said in his “unifying” inaugural address. He even pointed to Scripture in a nod to his supposed Catholic faith: “The Bible tells us that to everything there is a season — a time to build, a time to reap, a time to sow, and a time to heal. This is the time to heal in America.” Well, on Tuesday, he trashed both the Bible and unity by signing the (Dis)Respect for Marriage Act and then lighting up the White House in rainbow colors. The God Biden claims to believe in established marriage when He created Adam and Eve. (He also created the rainbow for an entirely different purpose, but that’s another story.) Yet just like Biden disregards the sanctity of life, he couldn’t care less about the Creator’s definition of marriage, or about the religious liberty of those who object to being forced to affirm its redefinition. Some Catholic. Politically, Biden has done nothing but violate his pledge to unify Americans. In fa

Jesuit university blog cheers gay “marriage,” offers tax advice

SANTA CLARA, CA , December 7, 2012, ( Cardinal Newman Society )—The University of Santa Clara , a Jesuit University, hosts a blog called “Same Sex Tax Law ” that not only offers analysis of the tax ramifications of the changing institution of marriage for the gay, lesbian, and transgendered but it’s written by a law professor who publicly roots for same-sex “marriage” right on the university’s website. Professor Patricia Cain, whose areas of expertise include federal taxation, feminist legal theory , and gay and lesbian issues, recently thanked Minnesota voters on the Jesuit university’s website for their vote against upholding traditional marriage and called repealing the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) ”a step in the right direction.” Immediately following the election, Cain wrote a  blog post  which included a word of thanks to Minnesota voters: It would be sweet justice of a sort if Minnesota were now to reject the constitutional denial of marriage equality. And they

Obama endorses bill to recognize gay ‘marriage’ on federal level

Image via Wikipedia President Obama has warmly endorsed new legislation to establish national recognition of homosexual “marriage,” which lawmakers considered in a Senate committee hearing yesterday. The “ Respect for Marriage Act ” would both eliminate the Defense of Marriage Act and establish federal spousal benefits for homosexual partners with state-issued marriage certificates. BY calling it "respect" they avoid the title of immoral, against naturne, against evolution, against biology, and against God.  “President Obama is proud to support the Respect for Marriage Act, which has been introduced by Senator Dianne Feinstein and Congressman Jerrold Nadler ,” read a White House statement Tuesday. “This legislation would uphold the principle that the federal government should not deny gay and lesbian couples the same rights and legal protections as straight couples. “The President has long called for a legislative repeal of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)

Death Threats for not supporting Gay Marriage

Image via Wikipedia With Senate hearings on the repeal of DOMA yesterday, President Obama and the hard-left core of the Democratic Party in Washington declared war on marriage, on federalism, on democracy and on religious liberty. As Maggie said in  National Review  yesterday , the chilling of our First Amendment rights has commenced, in the name of a faux equality: The First Amendment is more than a legal guarantee. It is a key American value—which holds that in a free society, decent, law-abiding citizens should not be afraid to speak up with civility for the moral good as they see it. Sen. Chuck Grassley 's remarkable opening statement in Wednesday's Senate DOMA hearing on a bill to repeal DOMA called attention to a very serious and growing intolerance directed at Americans who believe marriage is the union of husband and wife: "The minority very much hoped to call a witness today at this hearing to testify in support of DOMA. I am sure she would have
