Our ruinous ways

I am against same-sex marriage.

It is appalling how so many Americans have been brainwashed by the leftist media to accept the idea of a man marrying a man or a woman marrying a woman.

The leftist media used the brainwashing techniques of desensitization, jamming and conversion. These techniques were cataloged by Robert Jay Lifton in his work, "Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism: A Study of Brainwashing in China."

God only knows how President Barack Obama really feels about same-sex marriage. His decision to support it was based on campaign donations and votes.

Same-sex marriage makes our enemies — the fundamentalist Islamists — more determined to destroy us.
