Oped: Jack
It appears as if Mitt Romney talks out of both sides of his mouth...as suspected he continues his support of the RINO agenda...my concern for the GOP nominating Mitt Romney is becoming confirmed to say the least...which side is Mitt really on the conservative(Fiscal) or progressive(Liberal)? You be the Judge!

While presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney emphatically declared that
he
wasn’t going to make the issue of homosexual “marriage” a part of his
campaign and didn’t participate in the support for Chick-Fil-A, he apparently has no problem coming out in favor of homosexuals working with our young boys in the Boy Scouts of America.
Christian News
reports,
A spokesperson for Republican presidential candidate Mitt
Romney has advised that the former Massachusetts governor disagrees
with the Boy Scout’s current policy prohibiting open homosexuals from
serving as members and leaders.
According to The Associated Press, Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul
told the news outlet in an email that Romney still stands by his beliefs
that homosexual men should be able to serve in the organization. She
specifically noted that Romney had outlined his views in 1994 during a
political debate, and that his stance has not changed.
“I support the right of the Boy Scouts of America to decide what it
wants to do on that issue,” Romney stated during the debate. “I feel that all people should be able to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation.”
The Boy Scouts of America issued a statement that reaffirmed its policy that prohibits open homosexuals from joining:
“The committee’s work and conclusion is that this policy reflects the
beliefs and perspectives of the BSA’s members, thereby allowing Scouting
to remain focused on its mission and the work it is doing to serve more
youth. The review included forthright and candid conversation and
extensive research and evaluations — both from within Scouting and from
outside of the organization.”
I agree that the Boy Scouts of America should be able to decide this
issue, but then to come along and say that homosexuals should be able to
lead these young boys is just irresponsible. It’s as irresponsible as
saying that it’s perfectly OK as a
homosexual couple being able to adopt children.
In an interview with Neil Cavuto back in May, Romney said,
“[I]f two people of the same gender want to live together, want to have a
loving relationship, or even to adopt a child, in my state, individuals
of the same sex were able to adopt children. In my view, that’s
something that people have a right to do,” Romney outlined. “But, to
call that ‘marriage’ is something that in my view is a departure from
the real meaning of that word.”
Now ladies and gentleman that is just ridiculous. By
signing the law making homosexual “marriage” legal in the state of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney was declaring that it was in fact marriage. Furthermore, he
forced the clerks issue marriage certificates to homosexual couples.
Now seriously, are we going to believe his words now, or are we going
to believe what he actually did that re-defined marriage in
Massachusetts. I know which one I’m believing.
Mitt Romney’s
record has been painfully clear on the issue of homosexuality.
Amazingly though, Republicans are either falling for the rhetoric of
the definition of marriage that Romney espouses, while he signed into
law homosexual “marriage” in Massachusetts, or they just don’t think
it’s an issue. Well it is an issue. Not only is there an issue of
God’s judgment, but there is a very real issue in the breakdown of the
society.
The irony in all of this is that while Barack Obama endorses
homosexual “marriage”, he has not made it law and yet Mitt Romney who
claims that he believes marriage is one women and one man
has implemented it as law.
May God continue to give perseverance and courage to the Boy Scouts of
America to stick by their principles to mentor young men in this society
apart from sexual deviancy, even when those who run for the highest
office in the land won’t
UPDATE: Here’s Romney from 1994:
UPDATE 2: Many of you have expressed you didn’t know this about Romney. I’ve
compiled a page of video to allow Romney to speak for himself
on a number of issues from abortion to homosexuality to health care to
gun control. It’s important that conservatives are aware of the
presumptive nominees record and views.
