*This video was created in 2010. There's been some flip-flopping on the issue of homosexual marriage since then.
ON THE SMUG SIDE OF HISTORY
A country that stakes its future on lies will not have one. The fashionable lie of the moment is "gay marriage." The push to deprive children of mothers and fathers for the sake of "genderless" marriage has never been stronger. The media propaganda about its "inevitability" is unremitting. One would think, judging by all the triumphant rhetoric heard this week, that over 30 states had approved it. In fact, over 30 states have banned it.
According to the Washington Post, which just a few weeks ago was categorizing Christians as racists, the issue is all settled and done. Like a paid-off ref who calls a game in the second quarter for the trailing team, the Post declares that no "matter how the high court rules later this year on California’s Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act, one thing is already clear: The political debate over gay marriage is over."
Beltway pundits, whose powers of clairvoyance didn't even extend to the Romney race, are supplying reporters with the sort of quotes they want to hear about how the "tide" is irreversible. "Quite literally, the opposition to gay marriage is dying off," pronounces columnist George Will, whose last great prediction was that Romney would win in a 321-217 landslide.
It is curious that bow-tied classicists are now taking their moral cues from college students. What repositories of wisdom youth have suddenly become. Here is one recent headline, which captures our teen-besotted moment perfectly, "Portman's Gay Son: Dad’s a Good Man and I'm Proud of Him."
One would think George Will, given all his throat-clearing about the preservation of Western civilization, might feel some embarrassment at seconding this pathetic culture in which college students provide moral tutorials to their mothers and fathers on how tots don't need mothers and fathers.
