“Same-sex marriage should be protected,” writes Mr. Carl Smith, News Editor, in the Friday, July 1, 2011, edition of the Starkville Daily News.
Too bad that Mr. Smith doesn’t spend his time and ink in promoting the protection of the innocent unborn who are refused a voice and life by those who should be their protectors, their mothers and the states.
Or…perhaps his time and ink could be used more profitably in defending the rights of American citizens to be protected from potential terrorists and from other foreigners who enter our country illegally only to ‘rob’ those who arrive on this soil the right way…legally…with proper paperwork… ready to give back to this country that allowed them entrance by becoming and being loyal and productive American citizens!
Or…need I continue on? There are many more critical issues that need to be addressed by those whose livelihood is made possible by the expressing of their opinions through public media outlets.
It is apparent from his article that Mr. Smith himself is lacking in religious convictions though he sees himself as qualified to pass judgment on states that choose to believe that same-sex ‘marriage’ is not a legitimate ‘marriage’ – which it is not according to the Holy Bible or according to the convictions of our founding fathers and those who have come after them down through history.
Mr. Smith states that “when the state cannot guarantee equality, it is left up to the federal government to do so….” Again Mr. Smith sees himself as qualified to make such a statement that is not supported in the Constitution of the United States. Maybe he should have stated where in the Constitution the federal government is given authority to ‘make’ states defer to the federal government or to the opinions of the liberal/secular left who wish to subvert America’s Constitution!
Mr. Smith’s opinions represent his belief system, which I do not share and which, I might propose, are not shared by most people…especially Mississippians – Southerners – ‘Bible-believing’ Christians – Patriots!
Notwithstanding one’s religious, moral, and political convictions though, the recognizing and making legal the joint union of two of the same gender goes against simple logic as civilizations cannot be perpetuated except through the union of two of the opposite genders. Such has been the custom even in pagan societies since time began.
I am left to wonder about the political and moral attitude and stance of the Starkville Daily News and its owner and editors in allowing the publication of the article in question by one of its news editors, and I also wonder if Starkville Daily News will give an account to its subscribers!
(added post script: SDN did post its position on this one day prior to publishing this article; however, it came after this article had been submitted for publication.)
