How to Protecting Marriage

Yes, straight marriage in the United States is so sacred that you can measure its sanctity in piles of fresh, green cash for the creators of ‘marriage’ and ‘love’ reality TV shows. You can also measure the sanctity of marriage in how quickly people are willing to throw ‘true love’ to the wayside on public television in exchange for a briefcase full of money.

Who can really believe in the sanctity of marriage in this country anymore? Apparently our President does. After all, he is the political leader in the fight to keep gays and lesbians from obtaining equal marriage rights. As President Bush so succinctly states, “I believe marriage is between a man and a woman.” Oh yes, and he also says “we’ve got lawyers looking at the best way” to keep it that way.

Well, I say that if President George Bush believes so strongly that gay marriage would destroy “traditional marriage” – why isn’t he out there campaigning against other threats to the American Family? Why isn’t President George Bush out there hitting the bricks to introduce a constitutional amendment to keep perfect strangers from marrying (or not marrying) each other on television for large sums of cash? After all, aren’t these television ‘love’ reality shows kind of like public prostitution? Surely having millions of Americans watching people screw each other over for money in the name of marriage has far more damage potential for the American family than gay marriage. Or how about when public celebrities (and idols to millions of American youth) like Britney Spears can get married and divorced in the same day.
