Dubya’s at it again, and off the deep end: Bush Assures Evangelicals of His Commitment to Amendment on Marriage

COLORADO SPRINGS, March 11 � In a speech expressing his solidarity with the National Association of Evangelicals at its annual convention here, President Bush on Thursday forcefully restated his call for passage of a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage to enthusiastic rounds of applause. [...]

Mr. Bush said it was founded “with the highest of callings, to proclaim the word of God.” He added, “You are doing God’s work with conviction and kindness and on behalf of our country I thank you.” [...]

Interrupted by applause several times, he later said, “I will defend the sanctity of marriage against activist courts and local officials who want to redefine marriage. The union of a man and woman is the most enduring human institution, honored and encouraged in cultures and by every religious faith. Ages of experience have taught humanity that the commitment of a husband and wife to love and to serve one another promotes the welfare of children and the stability of society.”

Yep, theocracy in a nutshell, folks. Or, in this case, just a plain nutjob.
