It's strange to me that instead of focusing on things like unemployment, the economy, and countless other things, Rick Santorum wants Speaker of the House John Boehner to focus on defending DOMA. Not only defend DOMA, it seems, but use taxpayer money to do it! I'm glad Santorum has his priorities in order. I mean, who in their right mind would rather try to boost the economy and provide affordable health care to Americans when something as important as the definition of marriage is at stake?
Santorum tweeted his opinion for the world to see earlier this morning. Though he isn't the only one opposed to Obama's sudden decision to drop DOMA and its defense, Santorum is certainly the loudest. The potential presidential candidate's call-to-arms is mirrored by hate groups. These groups include the Family Research Council, the National Organization for Marriage, the American Family Association, and many more. Their arguments are funny, but I think my favorite one is NOM's argument. Not only is it full of grammatical errors and invented words, the syntax of it is strange and confusing, which takes away from the argument being presented.
In fact, NOM's been catching some tough breaks lately. States are passing laws to allow civil unions among gay couples. Their signature issue is being glossed over or not discussed at all. And, worst of all, they can't find a candidate for the 2012 presidency. NOM is now facing the possibility that they won't have a nut-bag candidate to "run the country" the way they see fit. None of the Republicans they are considering seem to be crazy enough. Oh no! That coupled with the fact that Boehner has declared that there are more important things to discuss besides DOMA, NOM's future looks grim.
