Justice Scalia was correct when he said that the Supreme Court has taken sides in the culture war. June 26, 2003, was the day that moral relativism invaded the family home with the full force of judicial law.

The Supreme Court eked out yet another Fourteenth Amendment privacy argument to legitimize the collapse of morality. Does the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protect a right to murder in private, to steal in private, or to break the speed limit when the State Highway Patrol isn’t looking? It is truly disgusting that the majority opinion applied sentimental words about our sacred Constitution to describe its decision: "persons in every generation can invoke its principles in their own search for greater freedom."

In this generation, the radical Left is about to put the shackles of moral slavery around both the Constitution and the American family.

I don’t mean to be unnecessarily pessimistic, though this is a departure from my usually bright optimism. I mean to say that time is running out to bring traditional family values back to Main Street, U.S.A.. In a time of sissified ultra-tolerance, Americans who care about our future must counterattack aggressively. We must agressively counterattack because the radical Left just cranked the homosexual agenda up to double speed through the intersection of truth and injustice, and the American family hasn’t even plugged in the stoplight yet.

Minutes after the Supreme Court decision was handed down, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) launched a new project called “Get Busy, Get Equal.” The new “Get Busy, Get Equal” web site is introduced with, “The Supreme Court just struck down Texas’ law against sexual intimacy between gay people. It’s a huge victory. By saying our relationships can’t be treated as criminal, the decision makes it far easier to get full equality. We can’t let this opportunity pass. Push now–for civil rights, recognition of same-sex couples, and safe schools.”

Next week, Lambda Legal Foundation will announce “aggressive plans for turning this landmark ruling into a reality in . . . peoples’ everyday lives.”

This is an opportunity that the radical Left will not let go of unless the mainstream family pries open the sticky fist of moral relativism. According to Lewis Whittington in the homosexual magazine The Advocate, “the culture war is not over.”

The homosexual movement claims they wanted to stop the invasion of their bed- rooms by waging this latest fight in the Supreme Court. Starting today, the radical Left is working overtime to invade our homes, our schools, our churches, our Boy Scout troops, our businesses, and our minds. We can’t let them.

We can’t let them because it is impossible for society to be sustainable while actively celebrating a behavior that was once punishable on the same level as rape and incest in this country. It is impossible for a culture to be edifying to young people and old people alike while inventing new rights out of crimes against nature and decency.

Sodomy is not a right. If rights come from God, sodomy is a heinous moral wrong.

How did we get to this point? Americans are a tolerant and accepting people. We like to mind our own business and let other people mind theirs. But this is not a time for tolerance and acceptance. Our enemy is more than a casual opponent in a recrea- tional athletic competition. This is a struggle between good and evil--a struggle in which evil is now spreading to the hearts, minds, and souls of young people in this generation.

It’s a shame that we’ve let the political and cultural Left take America this far. But now that we’re on the defensive, the least we can do is fight back.
