If the battle to protect marriage takes even five more years, liberal judges and activists will have destroyed this 5,000-year-old institution, which was designed by the Creator, Himself. Even now, they are close to achieving that coveted objective.
To get some other perspectives on the power of our judges check out Andrew Sullivan's blog and this other obscure blog Andrew links to.
For the record (and for those who may read this and not be familiar with my views), although I think that civil gay marriage should be allowed, I do not think any religious institution should be forced to recognize the validity of that marriage. After all, couples are married every day at court houses all across the nation and never seek spiritual recognition or blessing. That being said, our government has an obligation to extend to all of its citizens the same rights and priviledges. To do otherwise is government sanctioned discrimination. To allow civil gay marriage is the right thing to do. Any argument against such marriage with its foundation in religious belief should be ignored, because we are discussing "civil" marriage. If a church wishes to recognize these marriages, that would be gravy for the couple. But if not, it would be no different from the current stance of the Catholic Church, which doesn't recognize a marriage unless it has been blessed by a priest. Nuff Said!
