On several occasions, Glenn Beck has made it clear that he does not share the Religious Right’s panicked belief that marriage equality will destroy the nation and even stated that the push for equality is winning “because the principle of it is is right.”
So it was a little odd that he handed over his television program last night to David Barton and Rabbi Daniel Lapin who spent the entire hour making the case that, in fact, marriage equality will destroy the nation and that government has no right to change God’s definition of marriage.
While Barton claimed that the Founding Fathers all agreed that the government had no power or right to change anything that God had established, Lapin declared that “it is marriage that makes government possible.”
“Singleness,” Lapin added, “in other words, an obliteration of marriage, tends to give us tyranny in a society and, what’s more, tyranny seems to stimulate a destruction and a pulverizing of marriage.”
