I originally posted this blog on my MySpace page on 8-8-07. With the recent controversy of the California courts overturning the Gay Marriage ban, I felt this blog, with my revisions, needed to be dusted off. I hope you will enjoy...and think...
In our country today, love and marriage have little to no meaning or respect. Constantly people are getting married in a hurry, divorced in a hurry, and the word love is thrown around like a tennis ball to a dog.
Take my ex-wife, please...no, really. How much can marriage mean in our country if a woman can meet the love of her life two years in a row, and get married in late August two years in a row?
Marriage means so much that the judge who finalized the divorce was jovial and joking and trying to be buddy-buddy with us. I mean, this was the end of what was supposed to be a life-long bond. Yet, it was ended as if it was no more important than two people deciding on the last donut.
Look at how many people get married because it's owed to someone, or because its the right thing to do, or whatever. Or, once they are married, find that it takes hard work and real dedication, so they instead decide its to take the easy way and quit and file for divorce. Its so hard to find people today who really take love and marriage seriously.
The reason I am writing this blog is not the fact that the phony and her puppet are getting hitched 51 weeks after I was hitched to her. Instead, I recently went to the theaters and saw "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry," and it got me thinking.
What in the heck are we trying to save by fighting gay marriage? If we, as a society, do not take care of the bonds of marriage and the meaning of love, why the hell do we deny people who have a different opinion and way of life the same opportunity?
What is the difference in gay marriage and straight marriage? The difference is that the gays might actually take marriage seriously.
So, that being said, let me add this. I am Christian. I do not believe that homosexuality is a proper choice in life. I do not agree with the lifestyle, but I have nothing against the people who participate. SO, please don't think of this blog as a pro-gay marriage statement.
More so, this is an indictment of our society, the people in it, and the hypocracy of so many people. The question I am raising is simple:
If marriage is such a sacred institution, when are we going to start acting like it?

About Me...And This Blog Site...
My name is David A. Ebert, the oldest of two siblings produced by my parents, Leah and David G. Ebert. We are all Republicans, but I take it a toke or two...well, closer to 10 tokes...further than my parents,
I am very much a Right Wing Conservative. I am a Reagan Conservative. I believe Americans, in general, are smarter than elected officials in Washington, DC. We should be more in charge than the Government.
We, as individuals and families, should have more responsibility over our own, hard-earned money and not send more and more and more taxes to the out-of-touch politicians. I believe the government is there to serve us, and not us to serve them.
I believe in America's greatness and that, overall, we are the most generous, forgiving, intelligent, and genuinely decent country in the world. I also believe that we are the most powerful nation in the history of the world, but do not use that power to hold over the collective heads of other nations.
I believe that low taxes, intelligent spending of those tax revenues, strong initiatives on defense and education, and small government influence on the day-to-day lives of Americans are some of the most important ideals related to how the US should be operated.I believe in the freedoms granted by the US Constitution. I believe that judges should uphold and interpret the laws as written in the US Constitution, and not refer to any foreign legislation to make their historic decisions.
I believe the First Amendment, as well as the entire Bill of Rights, are the most important laws this world has ever seen.
I believe abortion is WRONG. I believe that homosexuality is WRONG. I believe that allowing anyone to publicly debate the possibility of lowering the age of consent, especially for young boys to consent to older men, is a tragedy of morality. I believe that organizations like NAMBLA should be publicly shunned and not given a platform to spew their harmful and dangerous rhetoric.
I believe there is a sad lacking in the ability of our nation to appreciate and accept self responsibility. We, as a nation, blame daddy, racism, sexism, classism, mommy, the mean teacher, the mean little league coach, the loud mouthed uncle, the financial status of the neighborhood in which we grew up in, and a million and one other reasons why we do not succeed. How often do we, as a nation, take the blame for our own mistakes? How often do you hear someone accept responsibility for their own mistakes? How often?
I am conservative. I am worried about the future of the country and the planet, especially if O-BOMB-A or Billary Clinton make it to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. I will start posting my fears, my hopes, my ideas as they all relate to news and politics. I hope to open some eyes and change some opinions with my writings. Most of all, I hope you will read my words and be inspired to find the truth...and not rely on Chris Matthews or Keith Olberman or Katie Couric or Matt Lauer for your opinions. I hope you will break the mold and do something unreal...unexpected...do something that O-BOMB-A and Billary are afraid of you doing...
THINK FOR YOURSELF.

I agree whole heartedly with your last question!!
I am a liberal lesbian. I disagree with the majority of your statements and appreciate the passion you express in your beliefs through your blogs. I am pro-choice, dedicated my life to fighting every “ism” you could list and have been an active democrat my whole life. We could not be on further ends of the political spectrum, yet, I would sit down and have coffee with you any day of the week. I agree with your overall message in this post and pray that one day our children will have the answer to your last question. I am a Christian and believe in God and his love of all people. I try to live life without hurting anyone and helping those around me who ask for it. I love my partner with all of my heart and we have been happy and helping others in the community for many, many years. Thank you for encouraging personal thought and debate. I genuinely respect your beliefs and hope you will always express them.
