Codger on Politics

When the opinion that freedom is optional is unacceptable.

Core to the defense of the constitution is the accepting of freedoms acknowledged in the United States founding documents.  Recent removal of a Gay activist from the Romney campaign prompted the condemnation of removing a person for being Gay.
“Writes Grenell:
Over the last few weeks there has been a public debate about how Republicans react to the issue of gay marriage. Some extremists have given the media fodder by suggesting that support for gay marriage disqualifies one from being a GOP activist. Some have even said that gay Republicans shouldn’t be too visible or involved in party politics.
[...]
Thousands of Republicans privately voiced support for my appointment and were disappointed by the events that led to my resignation earlier this month. Some did so while admitting they disagreed with my support for gay marriage. But they too are passionate about a strong America, personal responsibility and independent religious institutions–issues that should be at the forefront of this year’s presidential election.
Like many voters, I rarely agree with a candidate’s every position. I can support Mr. Romney for president but not agree with all of his stated policies. I can be proud of President Obama’s personal support for gay marriage and still take exception to his dismal national-security and economic records.
Millions of American voters will also evaluate both candidates’ policies in total and come to the same conclusion: Mr. Obama doesn’t deserve to be re-elected and Mr. Romney does.”
The reason to oppose is not the support of Gay Marriage, but the forcing of the population to accept concepts clearly opposed by their religion.  Freedom of religion trumps the current political correctness.  Respect for the constitution clearly trumps this Presidents radical agenda.
