NOM Supports the Duggars

I found the following blog post over at the National Organization for Marriage

Dear Marriage Supporter,

As you may have already heard, the Duggar family — stars of the hit TV Show 19 Kids and Counting — have come under attack from bullying activists and radicals simply because of the Duggars' strong pro-family witness both on and off their show. I ask you to take a moment today to join me in showing your support for the Duggars.

We need to send a message to let them know that we, the advocates of traditional marriage and family, appreciate their strong moral voice in the public square. They are an example of how strong marriages and families lie at the foundation of a healthy society. We need more celebrities like them, not fewer!

Click here to sign our petition to TLC urging them not to give in to the pressure of the radical homosexual agenda, but to stand by the Duggars and their right to express their values and beliefs without facing harassment.

Our country needs a healthier public square where people are heard respectfully, and not merely shouted down by those who disagree. This moment that the Duggars are facing is a test case for what kind of society we want: one where the values of tolerance and respect are truly practiced, or one where only those on the politically-correct side of the conversation get to be heard.

Please sign our letter of support today and stand with the Duggars!

Faithfully,

Brian S. Brown President National Organization for Marriage

No, it's not from last week or two weeks ago but a year ago.  Strangely, NOM has been silent during the revelation that Josh Duggar, who worked for the Family Research Council, molested his younger sisters and a family friend.  Unbelievable. 

"Family Values" Senator Outed for Using Prostitution Ring

One of the biggest news today is that Louisiana Senator David Vitter, the man who co-authored the Federal Marriage Amendment got caught:

Louisiana Sen. David Vitter, whose telephone number was disclosed by the so-called ''D.C. Madam'' accused of running a prostitution ring, says he is sorry for a ''serious sin'' and that he has already made peace with his wife.

Here's what he had to say just last year about the marriage amendment before he was outed as a john for prostitute ring:

"I don't believe there's any issue that's more important than this one," said Sen. David Vitter, a Louisiana Republican. "I think this debate is very healthy, and it's winning a lot of hearts and minds. I think we're going to show real progress."

And here's what he had to say about Massachusetts:

“This is a real outrage. The Hollywood left is redefining the most basic institution in human history, and our two U.S. Senators won’t do anything about it.

We need a U.S. Senator who will stand up for Louisiana values, not Massachusetts’s values. I am the only Senate Candidate to coauthor the Federal Marriage Amendment; the only one fighting for its passage. I am the only candidate proposing changes to the senate rules to stop liberal obstructionists from preventing an up or down vote on issues like this, judges, energy, and on and on.” stated David Vitter.

And as Below Boston noted from the Boston Globe:

[Massachusetts has] High education rates, low teenage birth rates, low divorce rates - real family values that we actually live and not just spout off about.

Lovely, just lovely.
