Bush slams gay marriage at Evangelical convention.
Bush vows to protect traditional marriage from courts.
Listen to the NPR report. Note the Evangelicals gloating that Bush is picking up the torch that was dropped, leading a country founded on Christian principles.
Yes, well, this country is also founded on blood, on near-genocide. And on freedom of religion. Including freedom from religion. Oh god, am I furious.
Sigh. Every time I think there’s nothing Bush can do to make me hate him more, he has to go and outdo himself.
German TV put it this way yesterday:
“The courts have to decide what’s more important: the equality principle rooted in the American constitution, or the traditional definition of marriage”
And, put like that, I don’t think there can even be a discussion.
