Political theater: NJ legislature approves gay "marriage", awaits Christie's veto

The Democrats' political farce is almost over. On Monday our state Senate voted to approve gay "marriage" in New Jersey. Today the Assembly sashayed their way into insignificance.

Neither chamber has the votes to override Governor Chris Christie's promised veto.

"If they pass it on Thursday and send it to my desk, believe me, I will take swift action on the bill and we can move on to the things that the people of New Jersey say are most important to them, which is creating jobs, lowering taxes and continuing the New Jersey come-back," Christie said.

At least on Broadway the plot turns aren't always evident until the 3rd act. This theatrical number's denouemont was painfully obvious from square one.

New Jersey will not redefine marriage.

Not today. And not tomorrow.

Proponents of this folly cast it as a civil rights issue. They have the temerity to usurp the term "marriage equality."

Listen up, we already have "marriage equality."

Every man has the right to marry a woman.

And every woman has the right to marry a man.

That's equality.

What the homosexual radicals want is a redefinition of marriage; one that imputes their notion of fairness onto state sanctioning of any relationship which satiates unbridled carnal desires.

For if two men can "marry," what is to stop every New Zealander from demanding equal rights for his favorite sheep? Or the Al-Harem mosque from auctioning off 9 year olds? In a few years Mormon polygamists could be bringing Big Love into our living rooms, and "kissing cousins" won't have to hide out in West Virginia anymore.

As slippery slopes go, this one is greased lightning.

There are plenty of Real Problems facing New Jersey and our nation. Until they're all solved, let's not get sidetracked. Besides, it's almost Tony Award season, and you know what that means — the drama queens need to go shopping for shoes.

Not even unnatural "marriage" can interfere with that.
