SCHIEFFER: “..Both of you are opposed to gay marriage. But to understand how you have come to that conclusion, I want to ask you a more basic question. Do you believe homosexuality is a choice?”

BUSH: You know, Bob, I don’t know. I just don’t know. I do know that we have a choice to make in America and that is to treat people with tolerance and respect and dignity. It’s important that we do that. And I also know in a free society people, consenting adults, can live the way they want to live.”

Across America this week the spin-doctors are spinning. The damage control experts are looking for some creative tactic to get Christians to stop thinking about the fact that their born-again Christian president told fifty million Americans, including untold millions of young people, that sodomy should be tolerated, that it is worthy of moral respect, and that homosexuals have every right to practice their perversion.

Yes, President George Bush endorsed and blessed the idea that “consenting adults [sodomites] can live the way they want to live.” Though he professes to be a Bible believing Christian, the president told the American people that “I don’t know. I just don’t know” whether or not homosexuality is a choice.

Now it is not my purpose in this blog to tell you how to vote or to recommend a candidate. Not at issue is whether the president is a nice guy——he is a very pleasant and likeable man. Nor does it matter one lick just how liberal you believe John Kerry to be. The issue today is not John Kerry or even the presidential election. Such issues can be debated on another occasion.

My case is simple: First, on a defining question of this generation (the legalization and cultural acceptance of homosexuality) through his public statements, funding allocations, policy position on civil unions, executive appointments and much more, President George Bush arguably has the worst track record of any president in American history. For an interesting discussion on this point see both , http://daveblackonline.com/bush2.htm and http://www.daveblackonline.com/georgebushon_sodomy.htm
Second, the biblical pattern is this: God destroys nations, not because they fail to define marriage, but because the civil magistrate tolerates and condones perversion, or refuses to enforce God’s law (which has been and remains our constitutional, common law tradition—-notwithstanding the usurpatious and unconstitutional ruling in Lawrence v. Texas), thus allowing homosexuality to spread unchecked throughout the land. Sodom and Gomorah were not destroyed because they legalized gay marriage. They were destroyed because sodomy pervaded the land and was not punished. The magistrate did not enforce God’s law.

Third, of infinite more significance to the welfare of this nation than who is elected to President, or what amendments to the Constitution are ratified, is the question of the whether or not the elect of God will maintain a pure conscience before the Lord by honestly evaluating the behavior of professing Christian magistrates and holding them accountable to His objective standard. Because I believe that judgment begins in the House of God, it is my conviction that Christian magistrates and spin doctors who compromise on the fundamentals of God’s Word are more dangerous than pagans magistrates and spin doctors who compromise on the fundamentals of God’s Word.

Is the Lesbianism of the Vice President’s Daughter an Issue?
Yes, for the following reasons. First, Vice President Cheney’s daughter is not merely a practitioner of lesbianism, but a radical lesbian activist well-known throughout the country as a promoter of the worst form of anti-family politics. Second, the Vice president’s lesbian political activist daughter is a key player in the Cheney re-election team, following the Vice President everywhere he goes, and serving as an official representative of the re-election campaign staff.

Third, from a personal perspective the Vice President does not view his daughter as renegade, or in sin. He fully supports her perversion. This is not the case of a disappointed father grieving over rebellion with a child. In fact, Mr. Cheney has explicitly borrowed from his own experiences as the supportive father of a lesbian activist to communicate his public policy perspective.

Both in the 2000 Campaign and as recently as late August, Mr. Cheney made his daughters lesbianism an issue in the campaign. Marc Kaufman and Mike Allen of the Washington Post, reported on August 25, 2004:

“Vice President Dick Cheney spelled out Tuesday his differences with President Bush on the volatile issue of gay marriage, while for the first time discussing the sexual orientation of his gay daughter in a public setting. Asked his position on the subject at a town hall meeting in Davenport, Iowa, Cheney replied:

“Lynne and I have a gay daughter, so it’s an issue that our family is very familiar with. ... With respect to the question of relationships, my general view is that freedom means freedom for everyone. People ought to be able to free — ought to be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want to.”

During the vice presidential debates, a grateful and nearly teary-eyed Cheney thanked Senator Edwards for his kind words of understanding about the Vice President’s unqualified support for his daughter and her lesbian lifestyle. It was surely an all-time low in the history of American vice presidential debates. The comment came after a long dialogue in which Mr. Cheney was challenged for his formal use (during the 2000 campaign) of his own family experiences with a lesbian daughter to justify his liberal political perspective on homosexuality:

IFILL: The next question goes to you, Mr. Vice President. I want to read something you said four years ago at this very setting: “Freedom means freedom for everybody.” You said it again recently when you were asked about legalizing same-sex unions. And you used your family’s experience as a context for your remarks. Can you describe then your administration’s support for a constitutional ban on same-sex unions?

CHENEY: Gwen, you’re right, four years ago in this debate, the subject came up. And I said then and I believe today that freedom does mean freedom for everybody. People ought to be free to choose any arrangement they want. It’s really no one else’s business.

After telling the school children of America that sodomites should be free to do whatever they want, both the Vice President and Senator Edwards next offered the most remarkable political tap dance to prove that they support everything and nothing at the same time.

If the worse thing from this unhealthy arrangement (i.e. the Vice President of the United States with a lesbian political activist daughter) was that the White House had lost its credibility to speak out against perversion, we could sympathize with the challenges of a leader with a renegade child. That is certainly not the case here. No, the Vice President has used his relationship with his lesbian activist daughter as a pretext for advocating homosexual rights. (P.S. Will America now await the first lesbian wedding service of a Vice President’s daughter attended and blessed by our born-again Christian executive branch?)

In their report “Mary Cheney Joins Homosexual Activist Group Organization Wants to Make Homosexuality ‘Non-Issue’ in the GOP,” Concerned Women for America explains that:

Mary Cheney, the lesbian daughter of Vice President Dick Cheney, has joined the board of a homosexual activist Republican group that seeks to make homosexuality a “non-issue” in the GOP and compares opposition to homosexuality to racism. Homosexual author and activist Andrew Sullivan reported April 23 that the Republican Unity Coalition (RUC) founder Charles Francis said Mary Cheney’s “main focus will be to help the RUC reach out to gay and lesbian voters, as well as build bridges to all within the Republican Party. This summer, she will work with us to build the RUC membership network across the country. Mary’s experience, both in her past work at Coors and with the Bush/Cheney campaign, provides the RUC with a whole new level of judgment and political savvy. We are so proud to have Mary Cheney stand with the RUC.”

Conclusion

Mr. Cheney and his daughter together are using the executive branch to advance the cause of lesbian politics. But worse than their public advocacy of an immoral culture and legal system, is their role played by the President and Vice President as national leaders in the desensitization of the conscience of the American people to the sin and crime of homosexuality.

This problem is only compounded by the fact that this pro-homosexual rhetoric is advanced (in the name of Jesus) by our Christian executive team, and is left unquestioned and unchallenged by many of the same Christian who would be screaming bloody murder if these stunts were pulled by Democrats.

Simply put: The Bush/Cheney position is immoral. It is damaging families and children across America. The President’s position on the highly questionable FMA does not even begin to make-up for his wrongful behavior using the executive office to advance homosexual rights. Finally, for Christians to turn a blind eye to such behavior, to pretend that it does not matter, or worse, in the name of partisan loyalty to cover such behavior, is inconsistent with the prophetic and biblical voice to which God has called us.
