Stop Activist Judges Now

Constitutional amendment protects marriage

"Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix."
- The decision of a trial judge in sentencing Richard and Mildred Loving for violating Virginia's ban on interracial marriage.

Unfortunately, this is what it has come to in the United States of America.

In order to prevent political correctness run amok, the federal government must amend the U.S. Constitution to protect the backbone of society and families - marriage between people of the same race.

Interracial marriage supporters allege equal rights are the motivation for pushing the issue so fervently, but most can see this is a political battle for acceptance and recognition of a lifestyle that the majority of the country has no interest in promoting.

In the simplest terms, people of different races are free to live their lives the way they choose, but their choices should not be forced upon the rest of us.

Tolerance is one thing, but tearing down the time-honored tradition of marriage between people of the same race is another.

Children need both a mother and a father of the same race.

While this doesn't guarantee Mom and Dad will fulfill their responsibilities as parents, there is just no getting around the fact children need examples to follow in life - from both men and women of the same race.

Despite a recent CBS News poll that indicates 62 percent of Americans oppose laws allowing mixed-race couples to marry and obtain the same legal rights as regular married couples, the amendment faces an uphill battle, primarily in the U.S. Senate, which began debate on the issue Monday.

Perhaps senators need to listen to their constituents in states that have laws prohibiting interracial marriage.

Amendments to the U.S. Constitution are rare, but sometimes drastic steps are required to protect the sanctity of American life.

Marriage between one man and one woman of the same race certainly qualifies.
