Retired naval officer calls for gay marriage in GOP platform

A retired Navy captain is asking Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell to support adding marriage equality to the GOP platform. McDonnell chairs the committee that will propose a platform at the national convention in Tampa later this month.

Retired Navy Capt. Joan Darrah, in a letter to McDonnell, said the freedom to marry is in keeping with the party’s ideology.

“If given the opportunity, we will testify in support of the inclusion in the Republican platform of both the repeal of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), and the right of same-gender couples to marry and for those marriages to be recognized by our federal government,” Darrah wrote.

“Quite simply, these objectives correspond with the ideals of the Republican Party – opposition to government intrusion in people’s lives and a modern military that supports all service members and their families.”

Well they’ve already nominated a candidate who did more for gay marriage as governor than Obama did as president.

Romney supported the proposed Constitutional Amendment in Massachusetts defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. This is an easily verifiable fact.

The Massachusetts Supreme Court's specious "interpretation" of the state constitution is the reason "gay marriage" is the status quo at this time. (Goodridge vs. Dept. of Public Health) The 80% Rat legislature obstructed the Constitutional Amendment vote in order to allow the supreme court's "gay marriage" interpretation to stand in MA.

The effect of the MA Supreme Court's ridiculous interpretation of the state constitution regarding "gay marriage" is an exact parallel to the current legal situation in regard to Obamacare. We need the Congress to overthrow Obamacare or we are stuck with John Robert's court's bizarre ruling, and in MA, action by the legislature was necessary to prevent the supreme court's ruling from remaining the final word on the subject. Unfortunately, the Rat legislature, with their obstructionist tactics, chose to trample the citizens' right to vote.

It's within the realm of possibility that the state constitution could be amended in future under a less corrupt legislature.

Just curious, but is the Navy ahead of the other branches of Service in terms of advocating open homosexuality in uniform? It was Admiral Mullen who also pushed the queer banner in everyone’s faces.

Go for it. In fact the GOP should just merge with the Democrats. There’s not enough difference to justify the existence of two parties.

I favor immediate firing of any person in the Republican Party who ever uses the words inclusion or diversity favorably in the current political context. Maybe if they’re talking about food, and that’s about it.

Well, yes it is about the destruction of language and meaning in Western Civ—so words like”marriage” will be destroyed and meaningless, so the Marxists can control the thoughts of all children (Create their proper Worldview). Textbooks (like in CA marriage licenses will no longer be allow words like wife or husband or mother or father to be used for textbooks. Nor “partner” because actually marriage will be between Party A and Party B and eventually C,D, E, F etc-—either males, females, or both. It won’t mean anything. And children will be able to be like objects, used in negotiations, and given out like birth control pills—or the State will raise them. Biology is meaningless.

Marx hated God (religion) and the natural family. The family unit is essential for emotional health of children so they become independent and emotionally secure—but those type of people are to be eliminated because they are dangerous to the Power that be.

Read 1984 and The Brave New World. That is their vision—where the word mother is a filthy word and makes people vomit. It is conditioning so all biological connections are destroyed (Laws of Nature obsolete) so that an artificial world-—dictated by the elites—who want the “all type of sex anytime” paradigm—like was rampant in Ancient cultures and eliminated only in places where Judeo-Christian Ethics were adopted.

To make Sodomy a “Right”, eliminates Judeo-Christian Ethics and destroys the Rights of our Constitution. Only Rights from God are recognized, but they want God “dead”—as Nietzsche so well stated in the 1800’.

To establish Sodomy (a Vice) as a Right-—we also eliminate Reason from the Law. Right Reason according to Just Law is the understood rationality that was essential for ALL LAW in the US. Reason does not exist with Sodomy which is not only unnatural—it is an impossible concept—two men can never be one flesh—and ALL American legal dictionaries defined marriage as one woman and one man.

How can a group of people with such a warped, evil way to see human beings—get to decide a “NEW” Ethical system based on Vice is Good??????
Bizarre and Irrational.

Pederasty was the norm-—The Satanists want God killed, so they can go after the boys. The founder of the Homosexual movement, Harry Hays, liked boys—after all he was sodomized by a sailor at 11 and loved it and wants all boys to have such “Freedom” and “Love”.

Chambers stated the culture war in 52 in his book, “Witness”. it is God vs. Man. Been going on since Adam but really got warped and sick with Marx after centuries of Christianity in the West.

These sick warped bastards think their Rights come from Satan.

In this country-—we give our oath to God—and our NATURAL RIGHTS come from God-—not some warped mind, like Barney Frank and Sandusky.

Trying to force laws which promote Vice is EVIL and Unjust Law. There is no more rationality to marrying the same sex than marrying a dog.

Law has to contain Reason and be in line with Natural Moral Law-—not the irrationality of Marx.

The GOP has set up a website asking people for suggestions for the party platform. I’ve noticed the neo-dems, otherwise known as Mitt’s minions, have already infested the site asking for the pro-life plank to be dropped and gay marriage to be allowed. If any conservative here wants to contribute and let the GOP know how they feel (and tell Mitt’s socialist supporters to take a hike), here is the website:

It’s not a man; it’s just another homosexual woman pushing her disease on the rest of us.
