Chilling Prospect

The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was wildly popular with Americans everywhere, red state and blue state, when it was passed in 1996. It was created in response to a spate of homosexual activist attempts to disassemble the institution of marriage. Now we have a major party candidate promising to repeal the law and to fight to legitimize any number of counterfeit "marriage" arrangements.

CNSNews.com reports "The 'pride' section of the Obama campaign Web site reads: 'Obama also believes we need to fully repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and enact legislation that would ensure that the 1,100+ federal legal rights and benefits currently provided on the basis of marital status are extended to same-sex couples in civil unions and other legally-recognized unions."

The candidate of change indeed.
