Sarah Palin confirmed recently that she is against
gay marriage, and wants to give the federal
government the power to force you to agree.
John McCain’s consistently inconsistent running mate has actually made good on a statement she alluded to in her debate a few weeks ago with Vice Presidential hopeful Joe Biden - she’s confirmed that she is in favor of a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage once and for all. If ever passed, this amendment would officially define marriage in the US, from a federal standpoint, as a sacred union between one man, and one woman, and nothing else.
Immediately after the Vice Presidential debate on October 2, much of the media was reporting that Biden and Palin agreed on same-sex unions. Palin’s confirmation of her views confirm the media was mistaken (a case I made, along with many other concerned citizens, shortly after the news hit the airwaves).
I thought one of the cornerstones of Republican policy was to reign in government, not give it more control over our lives. An amendment on this issue would give the federal government a level of authority that it has never had, and should never have - a decidedly non-Republican notion. And, interestingly (though not surprising), Palin’s confirmation is a split with her running mate, John McCain. McCain, while supporting proposed legislation in his home state of Arizona that would ban gay marriage, has consistently come out against any federal legislation on the matter, claiming that the decision should be left to individual state government.
This type of federal intrusion into the personal and spiritual lives of US citizens - of any humans - is simply unacceptable. No government can be allowed to attempt to take control over what each of us, as individuals, need to complete our journey of self-actualization. And this confirmation adds yet another level of proof that all of us need to be very careful when placing our ballots this year. While McCain may be headed in the right direction, his beliefs would still allow individual states too much power over our personal lives, and Palin has proven her ideas are just plain dangerous.
