CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JUNE 19, 2009

            ANOTHER DAY BRINGS MORE UNDERMINING OF AMERICAN SPIRITUAL SOVERIGNTY. THIS TIME, PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS SIGNED A PRESIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM EXTENDING BENEFITS TO SAME-SEX PARTNERS OF FEDERAL WORKERS. AMONG OTHER THINGS, IT WILL ALLOW THEM TO BE INCLUDED IN THE LONG-TERM CARE INSURANCE PROGRAM. BUT IT STILL LEAVES THEM WITHOUT FEDERAL HEALTH AND RETIREMENT BENEFITS. THAT WILL REQUIRE THE PASSAGE OF LEGISLATION BY CONGRESS.

            AT THE SAME TIME, THE ADMINISTRATION SAYS IT IS CONSIDERING A HOMOSEXUAL FOR A TOP PENTAGON POST. ALL OF THIS IS TO ASSUAGE THE GAY LOBBY, WHICH HAS A LOT OF MONEY DEMOCRATS WANT TO MAINTAIN THEIR HOLD ON OFFICE. THE PRESIDENT ALSO HAS ANNOUNCED HIS INTENTION TO WORK TOWARD REPEAL OF THE DEFENSE OF MARRIAGE ACT, WHICH CONGRESS PASSED AND BILL CLINTON SIGNED AND ALLOWS STATES TO DECIDE WHO IS MARRIED AND WHO IS NOT.

            WE CAN EXPECT MORE OF THIS, BUT NOT FEWER ABORTIONS, AS THIS LEFTIST PRESIDENT AND LEFTIST DEMOCRAT CONGRESS MOVE QUICKLY TO UNDO WHAT REMAINS OF OUR MORAL AND CULTURAL UNDERPINNINGS. IT IS MORE THAN A PITY. IT IS PITIFUL. I’M CAL THOMAS IN WASHINGTON.
