Savage: Homosexual activists like Marxists
Mirror communist founder's aim to 'destroy' cultural cornerstone
From his perch at the current ground zero in the battle over traditional marriage, San Francisco-based syndicated talk-show star Michael Savage warns one of America's "last institutions" is under attack from radical homosexuals with an agenda that mirror's revolutionary communists.
"Gay marriage is an oxymoron," Savage said in comments e-mailed to WND. "It is a mockery of marriage by radical homosexuals who wish to destroy one of the last cornerstones of our culture. Those who have studied the communist agenda understand very well that Karl Marx himself derided marriage and family."
He quoted from Marx's Communist Manifesto, which said, "The bourgeois claptrap about the family and education, about the hallowed co-relation of parent and child, becomes all the more disgusting … ."
San Francisco took the unprecedented step nearly two weeks ago of issuing marriage licenses to homosexual couples, and since then more than 3,000 civil ceremonies have been performed. President Bush has been criticized for not taking a strong stand, but yesterday he announced his support for a constitutional amendment barring same-sex marriage in the United States.
Efforts in Congress to pass an amendment have intensified in the wake of the Massachusetts Supreme Court decision that only full and equal marriage rights for homosexual couples will pass constitutional muster in the state. Under the decision – and barring a state constitutional amendment – same-sex weddings will begin in Massachusetts in May.
Savage said as part of their class warfare, the communists sought to abolish property in general and they considered family to be property.
"In order to abolish the state they had to first abolish the culture; step by step, institution by institution, tradition by tradition, which is why marriage between man and a woman is such an important battle," he said.
Savage addresses the "radical leftists" campaign to "redefine the legal status of marriage" in his New York Times bestseller "The Enemy Within," published by WND Books.
He notes that nearly 40 states have passed a Defense of Marriage Act, and in Nebraska an overwhelming 70 percent of the adult population favored the state constitutional amendment.
Nevertheless, he points out, "the ink was barely dry" when the ACLU rushed to file a lawsuit challenging the decision.
He likens the U.S. Supreme Court decision to strike down Texas' sodomy law to a "loaded gun pointed at the heart of traditional marriage."
"I feel as if we're living in the last days of the ancient Roman Empire, which, as historian Edward Gibbon noted, fell when this kind of degenerate behavior was allowed to take over the public and then the military," he writes in "The Enemy Within."
"Contrary to how they are acting, these nine justices are not our high priests," Savage says. "And nothing poses a greater threat to our liberty and freedom than having a black-robed minority running roughshod over the Constitution."
Savage says the "insane drive" towards homosexual marriage is not the ultimate aim.
"It's about expanding marriage to include polygamy, polyamory, transsexual marriages and open marriage," he says.
"This will be the mother mega-cultural battle of our time," Savage asserts. "Why? If you change the meaning of marriage, you make marriage meaningless."
