On One Happy Catholic Note Election Wise

From the Corner

Marriage Victory Thoughts [Maggie Gallagher]
California is huge, of course. It proves that when it comes to marriage, there are no blue states/red states. Americans believe unions of husband and wife really are unique and deserve a unique status in our culture and law.

Florida is huge because we had to get to 60 percent — and we surpassed that with 62 percent of the vote.

Arizona is huge because Arizona was the only state ever to reject a marriage amendment in 2006. This year, Arizonans decided to correct that anomaly, bringing to 30 the number of states that protect marriage in their state constitutions.

And also: giving marriage a perfect 30 out of 30 record of victory at the ballot box.

All victories are temporary in a fallen world. But this one is sweet.

One of the many Catholic Non Negotiables Obama supported was his view on gay marrage. He is on record of wanting to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act. I pray this gives him some cause not to go down that path

Too bad most Americans think unborn babies are expendable because they are either unwanted, unplanned, or inconvenient. California, Colorado, Michigan and South Dakota will lead the rest of the U.S. to abandoning unborn babies. President Obama will be listening to the people of the nation when he signs FOCA into law. May God have mercy on us all.
