The NW Indiana Times published my column below on 3-15-15. It might help to explain why
there is a rush to approve same sex marriage. It is a cultural choice for most people and one
which can destroy a civilization.

AMERICA CAN EXPECT MORE TURMOIL (by Martin Henrichs -Watchdog for Accuracy in Media)

In 1857 the U. S. Supreme Court issued the Dred Scott Decision allowing slavery to expand into northern states. The decision, following decades of simmering conflict over the morality and legality of slavery, lit a fire that flamed into the Civil War.

When Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated in 1914, Sir Edward Grey said, “The lamps are going out all over Europe.” Soon WWI erupted, killing
millions.

On Monday, October 6, 2014, the U. S. Supreme Court allowed unelected Appeals Court judges to overturn the will of the voters in five states that banned same-sex marriage.

The twin lamps of democracy and morality are going out all over America. What now?

President George Washington said in his 1st inaugural address: “The propitious smile of heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which heaven itself hath ordained.”

Jesus said in Matthew 19:4-6, “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore, what God has joined together, let man not separate.”

And Jude verse 7 says, “In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.”

There are at least 7 Old Testament references to marriage and sexuality and 14 in
the New Testament. When people reject God’s law, which includes, “Thou shall not commit adultery.” they reject God, often resulting in their destruction.

Homosexuals, as individuals, deserve respect. Live and let live! But they are now infringing on an institution, which has nothing to do with them, and are undermining 4,000 years of moral law.

Christians, Jews and Muslims must ask, “How could this happen in America?” Why is
media coverage so pro-gay?

The answer was revealed when a Chicago television station reported that the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association was meeting in Chicago.

A check of their web site at www.nlgja.org revealed that it was “Founded by Roy Aarons in 1990, it has roughly 700 members in the United States and abroad.”

Commentators marvel at how fast gay marriage has gained favor in polls. Well, it’s easy to influence people if they hear only one side of the story. Objective journalism is rare! Advocacy journalism is the rule! Liberal elites control what is politically correct
