I've said this many times before but the bottom line of the Religious Freedom defeat in Arizona is that its yet another example of how the Left uses incrementalism in order to achieve their ultimate goal. This being using the same-sex marriage laws to eventually have a confrontation with the Church (read, Roman Catholic) over performing SSM's. The Left would love nothing better than to rock the foundations of religion (read, Christian) in America. Their allies in this quest are, of course, the mainstream media and most of the Democrat Party.
ReplyDeleteFrom Rod Dreher in The American Conservative (http://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/the-collapse-of-the-anti-ssm-side/comment-page-4/) "Well, yeah. The US media has been flooding the zone with coverage — and heavily positive coverage — of homosexuality and gay marriage for a decade. This is a data point that, to my mind, helps falsify the narrative that the pro-SSM arguments have won. This was not a matter of dispassionate analysis, except perhaps among a small minority. This was about emotions, and always was going to be about emotions. The pro-SSM side won the propaganda battle. There’s not much point in conservatives complaining about it now. But it is important to understand how this happened. We all know, or should know, where this is going as a legal matter, and soon. We also know, or should know, where this is going as a cultural matter."
