Returning once more to the subject of the 'marriage' of homosexuals.  If only to get the illiberal off to a good Easter!

Former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord George Carey (an Arsenal supporter by the way) has castigated (or attacked, depending upon your view) the Prime Minister, David Cameron.

Lord Carey is quoted, on the BBC as saying

"I like David Cameron and believe he is genuinely sincere in his desire to make Britain a generous nation where we care for one another and where people of faith may exercise their beliefs fully.
but it was a bit rich to hear that the prime minister has told religious leaders that they should 'stand up and oppose aggressive secularisation' when it seems that his government is aiding and abetting this aggression every step of the way.

At his pre-Easter Downing Street reception for faith leaders, he said that he supported Christians' right to practise their faith. Yet many Christians doubt his sincerity."
Lord Carey also that said a recent ComRes poll suggested "more than two-thirds of Christians feel that they are part of a 'persecuted minority'".
"Their fears may be exaggerated because few in the UK are actually persecuted, but the prime minister has done more than any other recent political leader to feed these anxieties."
He said that Mr Cameron "seems to have forgotten in spite of his oft-repeated support for the right of Christians to wear the cross, that lawyers acting for the coalition argued only months ago in the Strasbourg court that those sacked for wearing a cross against their employer's wishes should simply get another job".
'Profound contribution' And Lord Carey spoke of being "very suspicious" that behind plans for gay marriage "there lurks an aggressive secularist and relativist approach towards an institution that has glued society". The danger I believe that the government is courting with its approach both to marriage and religious freedom is the alienation of a large minority of people who, only a few years ago, would have been considered pillars of society."

Lord Carey neatly captures the lie that is at the very heart of the Coalition policy.  On the one hand the Conservatives push themselves forward as the party of the family and of protecting traditional values and all the while they promote policies that devalue the family and undermine the values that made Britain what it was and were once the founding principles of the Conservative party.

Instead, the Conservatives push minority policies which are for the purpose of trying to be hip and cool and maybe gather some 'floating voters' from the metropolitan elite and leave their traditional constituency wondering, if the Conservatives are not for us, who are they for and who then, is for us?

Christian?  Can you really say that the Conservatives are for you?
Married? How do you feel about this meaning nothing anymore?
Children? Make sure you aren't married or you will be economically disadvantaged.

Get the picture?

If you do, tell your MP, enough is enough.  Real action not rhetoric.
