Good arguments contra same-sex marriage
World Magazine has a
blog entry with some good arguments from the Family Research Council on same-sex marriage. And this
blog entry from Worldmagblog is so good I’ve got to copy it right here:
New York Times conservatives
The New York Times recently added a second purportedly conservative columnist to its op ed page. But David Brooks supports “gay marriage,” as does William Safire in his column this morning. Reminds me of what a veteran cavalryman, played by John Wayne, comments to a prissy colonel, played by Henry Fonda, who has just arrived at Fort Apache and seen several domesticated Indians sitting around. When Fonda says he has now seen Apaches and realized that they’re not so tough, Wayne responds along these lines: If you saw them, they weren’t Apaches.

In case the analogy between Apaches and New York Times conservatives is not clear to anyone, here is the way to understand it:
Fonda has seen some Apaches, so he thinks he knows something about what an Apache is like. But if he saw them (ie, if they weren’t skillfully concealing themselves from the white man), then they weren’t real Apaches.
Similarly, people hear about, and talk about, these “conservatives at the New York Times who support gay marriage.” But if they’re at the New York Times, and they support gay marriage, they’re not conservatives.
