“…I think that at the time the Constitution was written it was pretty clear that marriage is between a man and a woman…”-Mitt Romney, candidate for the office of President of the United States

Even if the personal opinions of the founders of the United States were against homosexual marriage, there is nothing in the Constitutional amendments that say anything about marriage!

This was intentional, after all our founders fought a war for Independence from the British Empire, which placed all kinds of qualifiers on citizenship (including belonging to the church of england).  The founders did not want any qualifiers on U.S. citizenship, other than being born here, or becoming ‘naturalized’.

The founders knew that many of the qualifiers of citizenship in the British Empire were based on the personal opinions of the holier than thou crowd.  The founders knew that, like ass holes, personal opinions should be left out of sight out of mind!

It is true that since marriage is not covered in the U.S. Constitution then it is within the States’ rights to create definitions of marriage.  But then you might have conflicts at tax time.

This brings us to the real reason why both sides are trying to push for a Constitutional amendment regarding marriage.  Both sides don’t like seeing some States for, while other States oppose.

If a anti-homosexual marriage law is passed at the Federal level then it will violate the basic reason for the creation of the United States: “We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Notice it does not say the United States was being created to promote one religion, or any religion, or for the sole purpose of 1% Elitists who want more more more money, or for control freaks and insecure paranoids!

But guess what, from my own personal experience, and witnessing others’ experiences, marriage actually conflicts with Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

But here’s why efforts by the religious front to create a anti-homosexual law at the Federal level will fail.  Amendment One: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

By creating a law that is obviously the result of religious beliefs, Congress will be in violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America!

Religion freaks can argue all they want. Religion, any religion, does not jive with the Constitution. That’s what was so revolutionary about our Constitution, it created the first secular (government not controlled by religion) country in modern history!

(The modern concept of separation of church and state can be traced back to Martin Luther’s doctrine of two kingdoms)
