The Garden State Gays Are Coming!

Apparently forgetting that the Massachusetts court ruling allowing gay marriage was going to ruin marriage and our nation as we know it, social conservatives are now rallying around the recent New Jersey court ruling as their "wake up call".

The New Jersey court decision that gay couples are entitled to the same rights as heterosexual couples was bad news for social conservatives -- the bad news they were hoping for.

"Pro-traditional-marriage organizations ought to give a distinguished service award to the New Jersey Supreme Court," said the Rev. Richard Land, head of the public policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention.

From the reaction, I can only conclude that the leaders of social conservatives like Rev. Land are only interested in power, not in advancing their agenda. I know that when something happens that I don't like, like a war with no reason or a ruling from the court that said that I have no right to privacy, I get upset.

Not social conservatives. They see it as a way to rally their masses to go vote so they can continue to have access to power.

And that's all the social conservative movement is - a way for some old white men to have power over a bunch of people, using "fear itself" as a way to keep them in line.

This is the first time I've seen them so open about it, though. I wonder how long "the masses" will continue to listen to them.
