U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard, R-Colo., the sponsor of the amendment then and now, said he's pleased the president has endorsed the MPA.
"I don't think this is a partisan issue," he said. "I don't think any party can be out-and-out against marriage, but there are a few activists who are pushing this issue — and primarily pushing it through the courts. And the only way to stop them is with a constitutional amendment, and that's why this vote is so very vital."

-So there’s not a democratic or republican movement "out-and-out against marriage?" Boy that’s a relief.
but there are a few activists who are pushing this issue
-Oh my, so there ARE “activists” “out-and-out against marriage?”
— and primarily pushing it through the courts.
-Why,
these “activists” must be in cahoots with the “activist judges” I so often hear of. I didn’t see the connection before, but thanks to your characterization of gay Americans seeking equality as being “activists,” I now do.
And the only way to stop them
-Yes, how do we “stop them” Americans who seek equality?
is with a constitutional amendment,
-Why, if we need a constitutional amendment, this must be the MOST pressing issue our country faces. Otherwise, why would we need to CHANGE THE VERY MEANING OF OUR COUNTRY?
and that's why this vote is so very vital."
-I have to admit, the above option seemed a bit extreme, but your clarification that it’s not just “vital,” but “very vital,” absolutely, completely, entirely, fully, and not unnecessarily redundantly, sets me straight.
Pro-family Americans aren't the only ones speaking out on the issue, however. Homosexual-activist groups have also targeted senators with ads and phone calls. One ad, sponsored by the Human Rights Campaign, goes so far as to say the amendment "would forever write discrimination into the United States Constitution."

-Good thing they’re Americans as opposed to those sexual activists who aren’t.
Homosexual-activist groups have also targeted senators with ads and phone calls.
-If it weren’t for that hyphen, I would have forgotten that
all homoSEXUALS are activists. But more ominously, groups?

-Gosh golly gee, why would they “go so far” as to say that?
Amanda Banks, federal-issues analyst for Focus on the Family Action, said the argument that marriage is somehow discriminatory reflects the confused logic of liberal activists.
-I had no idea that all 'homosexual activists' and therefore gay Americans, are
also liberals who support the terrorists who want to kill us all.
"The marriage amendment simply states that 'Marriage shall consist only of the union of one man and one woman,' " Banks said. "This would ensure that the definition of marriage remains the same as it has always been. So, it appears that HRC believes marriage has always been discriminatory, in every country of the world, for millennia. Clearly that is not the case."

-So these “confused” “liberal” “activists” want change? History would be rolling in its grave...

-Clearly the Human Rights Campaign has
no regard for the existence of the past.
