Kansas Republican State Senator Kay O'Connor is a classic example of the opposition to equal marriage rights for gays and lesbians. In a letter to a constituent regarding a proposed amendment to the Kansas state constitution, Sen. O'Connor adequately summed up what "compassionate conservatism" has come to mean to many Republicans.
"Unfair discrimination against people of color or people with disabilities, etc., is certainly to be rejected. However, a choice to give into ones lust and not practice self-control is not a disability, it is a life style choice.
"Historically, any state or nation that gives into the lusty perversions of the homosexual lifestyle, soon sees its own demise.
"Like it or not, we are a nation founded on Judeo-Christian beliefs and it (our constitution) has served us well for over two-hundred years. The judicial branch has been over-stepping its bounds the past few years and caused the need for this legal remedy."
Despite Sen. O'Connor's assertion our nation was "founded on Judeo-Christian beliefs," laws that protect lifestyle choices to worship other Gods continue to send far more Americans to Hell than those who choose to love one another. The protection of religious lifestyle choices have allowed false Gods to proliferate and find a home in a tolerant and increasingly Godless, secular society.
If Sen. O'Connor wants to make sure Heaven is stocked with morally pure Americans, her Republican colleagues had better get on the ball stripping away equal protections under the law for American citizens.
