In February of 2004, the venerable president released a "Remark About Constitutional Amendments on Marriage", in which he basically expressed his wishes to outlaw the said practice.
His eloquence and firm arguments shine through:
Quote:
The union of a man and women is the most enduring human institurion, honoring - honored and encouraged in all cultures and by every religious faith.
Umm...yeah. That's why ~50% of those enduring relationships end in divorce. [nods]
Quote:
Ages of experience have taught humanity that the commitment of a husband and wife to love and to serve one another promotes the welfare of children and the stability of society.
Hmm...America sure is known for its fidelity. And I mean, all children are born in wedlock as well! Well, at the very least ~50% of them...
Quote:
Marriage cannot be severed from its cultural, religious and natural roots without weakening the good influence of society.
Yes, yes indeed! That's why we have the many many legalities of getting a marriage licence and the like. Oh, and never mind that there are quite a few cultures (in America nonetheless!) where homosexual marriages are completely commonplace. By this I mean that they're accpeted...they don't really happen all that often though. And since when was the act of marriage genetic??
Quote:
Government, by recognizing protecting marriage, serves the interests of all.
Except those who're going to get linched for their practices. But they don't count, eh?
Quote:
America's a free society which limits the role of government in the lives of our citiziens.
...
[blank stare]. Come again? "limits"?
...
Yes...that's a perfectly true statement. At least it would be if it weren't for the fact that on a yearly basis institutionalized control structures in the US get more and more entrenched into the lives of its citizens.
