in his state of the union, george w bush said:
Because marriage is a sacred institution and the foundation of society, it should not be re-defined by activist judges. For the good of families, children, and society, I support a constitutional amendment to protect the institution of marriage.-- is he outlawing divorce...?
a few minutes later he said:
Because one of the deepest values of our country is compassion, we must never turn away from any citizen who feels isolated from the opportunities of America.-- which completely contradicts the earlier statement (see above)...
and near the end he said:
We are all part of a great venture: To extend the promise of freedom in our country, to renew the values that sustain our liberty, and to spread the peace that freedom brings.
somehow...it just don't add up.
i'm curious how those three things can be in the same speech. different writers maybe?
i guess someone forgot to proof-read.
but what i'd really like to know is dubyuck's definition of the words "freedom" and "liberty". or at least his reasoning that reserves those terms solely for heterosexuals.
you can read the whole thing at c-span.
