Chuck Asay sifts the events of the day through his biblical worldview and tries to persuade readers to see things his way...that rights are given by a higher authority than the governments of men, that mankind is not the ultimate arbiter of truth and that our Constitutional Republic is worth protecting. Chuck believes ideas, not politicians rule the world. He tries to protect ideas which he thinks are good and attacks ideas he thinks bring harm.

OK! I’ll start. There are no tight ends on the gay team but they have plenty of wide receivers, and the quarterback can’t line up behind center without a delay of game penalty after twenty minutes. On the other hand, the Traditional Family Values team will be cited for unnecessary roughness on every play.

Traditional family values? Like what? Telling your spouse you want a divorce when she gets sick from cancer, hiking the Appalachian Trail, having a wide stance, coming on to congressional interns, polluting the environment to make money, giving more tax breaks to the really rich, cutting services to the poor and needy, etc. etc. etc.. The hypocrisy of the TFV folks has become the biggest joke in the country. I am surprised they even use that term anymore. It is a sure bet they are out to take you for your money or your vote when ever they open their pie holes.

Do statistics still show that 50% of “traditional” marriages end with divorce?

Traditional “family values” like well, Rush, Newt, Reagan? “Hollywood” and “media” have long influenced folks. The motion picture industry was most heavily, and for some time, even today, influenced by folks coming from Europe between the world wars, and basically running the industry.
Talented men who changed their names, like “Wilder”, domineering ones who took over studios. There were strict rules imposed by a guy named Hayes, that made movies “safe for kids and morality”, and led to patriotic pap and myth from “heros” like Marion Morrison, who never served, and made guns and glory the “family values”, for generations of draft dodgers.
Even those who only saw war on the silver screen, and tried to convince the voting public they too served, from Alabama, or Texas, could use that great media myth machine to their advantage.
Yes, “family values”.

I love the ways conservatives coin their stances with super positive terms… “Pro-Life”… “Traditional family Values”… “Iraqi Liberation” The better the name the more heinous the intent.

No, the statistics are closer to 35% of marriages ending in divorce now.
On the other hand, when a couple lives together for 10 years before getting married, they’re less likely to GET a divorce.

no dude, like Mr. & Mrs. Sanchez or Old man Morris and his kids ( wife died last year) and million of other folks in this country and the rest of the world that are sick and tired of being called names because we just don’t get why you are so up set that sodomy and lesbianism are not conducive to producing families or providing a stable home environment.
Go ahead and do what you want but don’t claim that the lifestyle is the same and that other folks are bad because we don’t want to participate in it or approve of it.
