President Obama's announcement that he now favors same-sex marriages is just another sign of the moral collapse of a once proud nation.

His position has "evolved"?

Perhaps a better explanation is that in an election year he has made a decision that flip-flopping on this monumental issue will help his re-election bid. Rhode Island's entire congressional delegation is now partner to this disordered, immoral attempt to redefine the sacred institution of marriage.

Men and women were created by God to complement one another, and to procreate. I have heard the argument time and time again that God does not hate, and of course that is true. We are all God's children, but homosexual activity is immoral and disordered, and cannot be accepted and celebrated. Of course, we can love people of our own sex, but to engage in sexual activity with a person of the same sex is wrong on so many levels.

Count me in on the side of those who say enough is enough. If we do not turn this immoral tide around, this nation will follow all of the other great civilizations of the past that collapsed, not through outside invasion, but from internal moral decay. It's happening right in front of our eyes, and it is up to us to stop it.

As the song goes, "God is watching us," and I can assure you he is not happy.
