Is Brownback Bringing Opus Dei Into The Senate? | Democrats.com

OK! That's it! The final g--damned straw!

Opus Dei?

Why don't we just elect Tom Cruise and be done with it?

Is Brownback Bringing Opus Dei Into The Senate? Democrats.com:

"The United States Senate is often called 'the greatest deliberative body in the world' which usually raises the bar on the tenor and intellectual content of speeches given on the floor and for the official record.

Not so for Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS) who took to the Senate floor last week to deliver a strident push for the bigoted Marriage Protection Amendment, with massive distortions of the issue and an argument that was based almost solely on the opinion of a little-known, conservative think tank affiliated with the Roman Catholic organization, Opus Dei .
'
The problem we have in front of us is the institution of marriage has been weakened, and the effort to redefine it on this vast social experiment that we have going on, redefining marriage differently than it has ever been defined before,' the Kansas Senator grimly intoned last week. 'This effort of this vast social experiment, the early data that we see from other places, harms the institution of the family, the raising of the next generation. And it is harmful to the future of the Republic.'

Brownback then went on to give figures for how various states have shown their hatred of gay people with their own prohibitions on same-sex marriage and used that as his rationale for a similar amendment to the U.S. Constitution."
