Middle America's Worldview

Talk about a double standard. Check out this article on Stop the ACLU that I get to read on my arrival home.


At least here was some good news for those believing in traditional marriage.....
A Surprising Win This week (now last week), the Massachusetts Supreme Court declined to allow out-of-state homosexual couples to get "married" in Massachusetts. The decision avoids the spectacle of lawsuits all over the nation challenging the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, which gave states the right to refuse to recognize same-sex "marriages" performed in other states. This is a surprising
victory in one state court for which we are thankful, but we must continue
our efforts to protect normal marriage everywhere!

Gee, I see San Francisco liberal mania continues.....San Francisco Tolerance?
San Francisco has portrayed itself as a city built first and foremost on "tolerance." This is the place whose mayor "married" same-sex couples in
defiance of state law and whose most high profile community event is the
annual "gay pride march" where public nudity is common. But,lately, the
"city on the bay" has made it clear that its tolerance has limits.

Last year, the city council voted 8-to-3 to reject the mooring of the
historic battleship, the USS Iowa, in San Francisco. Why? Because the
city council opposes the war in Iraq and doesn’t like the Pentagon policy
that prohibits open homosexuality in the military. Even liberal Senator
Dianne Feinstein was shocked and called the council’s action "a very petty
decision."

But the supervisors were just getting warmed up. They unanimously passed a
resolution last week attacking the Catholic Church because of its opposition to homosexual adoption. The board called the Church's teaching that children should be placed with mothers and fathers,"hateful and discriminatory" and said the teaching "shows…insensitivity and ignorance."

This weekend it was evangelicals' turn to get pummeled by San Francisco's Government. More that 25,000 evangelical youth held a two-day rally sponsored by a wonderful group called Teen Mania, run by Ron Luce. The purpose of the rally was to inspire Christian teens to resist the "siren song" of our popular culture with its constant emphasis on sex,drugs, etc.
Sounds like the sort of thing most cities would welcome, but not the radicals who control San Francisco. Once again the supervisors passed a resolution condemning the rally as "an act of provocation."
Protestors called the event a "fascist mega-pep rally," and a state assemblyman said
the Christian kids were "loud, they’re obnoxious, they're disgusting and they should get out of San Francisco."

So, San Francisco has found the limits of its tolerance. Same-sex "marriage," homosexual adoption, abortion-on-demand, and public celebration of decadence are okay, but the U.S. military, Catholics and evangelicals are beyond the pale. You will recall that the leader of the House Democrats is Rep. Nancy Pelosi who is from San Francisco. She hasn’t said much about the "thought police" who run the city. Perhaps the House leadership ought to offer a few resolutions of its own
condemning the San Francisco supervisors and see how she votes!
