President Bush calls for leaving behind partisan rancor (good),
but then picks up the cultural
cudgel:
Yet many Americans, especially parents, still have deep concerns about the direction of our culture, and the health of our most basic institutions. They are concerned about unethical conduct by public officials, and discouraged by activist courts that try to redefine marriage.
But revealingly, no call for a federal Constitutional amendment.
Gay Patriot West
faults activists' double standards, as the Democrats choose
Virginia's Gov. Tim Kaine, fresh from signing and sending to voters
one of the most draconian anti-gay marriage state amendments, ever,
to deliver their response to the president:
[W]hile the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) faulted California's Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenengger in multiple press releases for his veto of a bill which would have recognized same-sex marriage in the Golden State, the only reference on HRC's web-site to Kaine's support of his state's amendment resolution was a Washington Post article on the Virginia referendum.
GPW also discovered that HRC's mission statement no
longer calls the group "bipartisan," as it once did. Score one for
truth in advertsing.
