Despite the current spotlight on fiscal issues in Washington (and virtually every state capital), the battle over cultural issues has by no means gone away.  In fact, even while our government continues to spend itself into bankruptcy, the culture war is still very much with us.

(Actually, it is never really considered a “war” in the media unless conservatives are fighting back, never just when liberals are tearing down traditional cultural norms).

The latest battle in the ongoing war just concluded in New York, where liberals continued their assault on traditional marriage by redefining it to include homosexuality.  Thanks to Republican turncoats, the marriage revisionists won by just four votes.

It is important to note that this war is being waged by a distinct minority against several thousand years of human history, and that their agenda has never carried the day when put before the public for a vote.  Quite the opposite, actually.  Voters in over thirty states have passed marriage amendments to their state constitutions defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman.  Any victories for gay marriage have always been by imposition of a legislature or, more often, via subversion of the political process by the judiciary.
