Democrats Are Trying To Censor The Truth
John Kerry's campaign is squealing like a stuck pig about Republican mailings in the swing states of Arkansas and West Virginia. Kerry must win one of those states to win in November.
These letters portray the liberals banning the Bible while allowing same-sex marriage. ''This will be Arkansas if you don't vote,'' some letters warn.
The mailings show a Bible labeled ''BANNED'' and explain that the liberal agenda includes removing ''under God'' from the Pledge of Allegiance. For contrast, the mailings show as ''ALLOWED'' a picture of a man, on his knees, putting a wedding ring on the hand of another man.
There is nothing far-fetched about these pictures. Already, the Supreme Court has banned Bible readings, the Ten Commandments and even voluntary prayer from public schools, our largest federal circuit has banned ''under God'' from the Pledge (a decision that the Supreme Court temporarily sidetracked on a technicality), the Massachusetts supreme court has ordered same-sex marriage licenses, and the gays are filing lawsuits to get activist judges in other states to force them recognize the Massachusetts outrage.
The liberal media are yelping about these mailings because the Kerry Democrats' game plan is to conceal from the voters the fact that they do support these goals. By keeping mum on the subject, and refusing to do anything to stop these travesties, Kerry and his running mate are counting on Democratic-appointed activist judges to render these unpopular decisions so the Democratic politicians won't have to take the heat for it.
When the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) passed Congress in 1996 and was signed by President Clinton, Kerry was one of only eight current Senators who voted against traditional marriage. The vote in the Senate this summer on the marriage amendment gave Kerry a chance to clean up this embarrassment, but he declined to do so.
Kerry's own state of Massachusetts, the source of the country's most direct attack on traditional marriage, is now issuing same-sex marriage licenses. Not only has Kerry done nothing to stop this travesty, the usually loquacious candidate doesn't even criticize it
