I couldn't help but notice that Republicans everywhere are screaming about a so-called:

"WAR" on Traditional Marriage.

Weren't these the SAME people just two weeks ago taking extreme offense to the use of the term "War" for the "War on Women", saying it was offensive to our troops, belittling their sacrifice???

Interesting to see Rush recycling a line that FOX backed away from after mere hours. I'll find the relevant posts and add them, but this attempt at starting a War On Marriage meme is pure comedy gold.

Oh, wait! I forgot that tweet from Boehlert a litle while ago. They already tried :lol:

Fox Nation: 'Obama Flip-Flops, Declares War On Marriage'
May 9, 2012 15:32:11
As is often the case, Fox News' eccentric aggregation cousin Fox Nation took a slightly different angle about President Obama's endorsement of gay marriage than many news outlets.

While others played the news straight (no pun intended) or celebratory, Fox Nation had a rather more apocalyptic take on the occasion:

UPDATE (4:36 p.m. EST): Fox Nation changed its leading headline.

They have their funny little #waronmarriage hashtag now, though. :lol: But instead of being able to use it with various examples of their percieved war they only have the one interview to whine about.


So now Rush is going to try and retread that tire which blew out so quickly yesterday :lol:

From the Twitter, here's a snapshot of the action on the #waronmarriage hashtag. Not cherrypicked, these are in the order I found them.

Rush Limbaugh says Obama has declared a #WarOnMarriage. Hopefully we can bomb it/kill its dictator then occupy it for about 9 years or so.

There is no (liberal) war on Christmas, no war on marriage, and the wars on drugs and terra (launched by conservatives) are requiring a rethink.

But their war on women is quite real. As is the war on social equality.

It is true the divorce rate in the U.S. is up, etc., but it's because of social and cultural changes ... nobody is "warring" on marriage, and certainly not gays and lesbians who want to get married.

Before you declare war on anything you should define your terms just for the sake of clarity. Here's resident expert on all things Christian Betty Bowers with a detailed explaination of what "Traditional Marriage" is.





Now you can decide whether or not to declare war on it. :twisted:

This is nothing more than ЯepubliKlan Speak. Equal treatment under the law in their language equals an attack on their "traditional values" which are based on a pick & choose ala cart from their current leadership, the rank and file do no independent thinking or research, nor do they want to.

yea and republicans know their policies economic, foriegn, domestic well all of them have not been to kind to marriages or families so they feel they have to hurry up blame others before people notice the wreckage all around them.
