Eat, Pray, Love . . . But Especially Pray This Bill Doesn’t Pass
Elizabeth Gilbert, author of the best-selling book Eat, Pray, Love, now a major motion picture starring Julia Roberts, is doing a lot more than eating, praying and loving these days. She’s lobbying on Capitol Hill . . . for something called the Uniting American Families Act (read the bill).
Sounds All-American, right? But as one should expect from a bill sponsored by an ultra-liberal such as U.S. Representative Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), it has nothing to do with American families. Typical Orwellian speak from the Far Left. This bill would allow homosexual Americans to sponsor their alien ”permanent partners” into the U.S. as legal immigrants under the principle of “family unification” (see AOL News). Never mind that U.S. policy does not recognize domestic homosexual partners as families, but now the Far Left not only wants to redefine marriage in America, they want to redefine it internationally as well as redefine long-held and recognized principles of immigration law.
Of course, Ms. Gilbert will draw cameras and probably get booked on every msnbc and CNN show, as well as the brain food known as the “morning shows,” perhaps even NPR. She’ll add to her celebrity, sell more books and movie tickets, and the Far Left will have a new insta-expert (who knows nothing about the topic) to fawn over. Kind of like when Ted Danson testified before a Congressional committee in the 1990s that the oceans would disappear in 10 years — and was taken seriously — or when Jessica Lange testified about agriculture issues because of the expertise she gained from . . . her role in a film.
Meanwhile, the rest of us need to take the second word in Ms. Gilbert’s title to heart to ensure this bill dies the legislative death it deserves. While it may show how far debased our culture has become that a bill like this could even be introduced (especially in this political atmosphere), much less be taken seriously, we still have prayer — and it typically trumps Congressional swoons over celebrity “testimony.”
i heard and saw so many documantries about her yes she had her troubles like most of us but i truley admire her beside her amazing beauty she was very smart i wonder why some people called her a dumb alot of her frinds and coleages said she was very smart and talented also she was very strong woman it is to shame that she died tragically so young she was also a very kind woman.

I intended to draft you one very small note just to give many thanks the moment again for your personal unique strategies you’ve provided at this time. It’s really strangely generous of you to supply easily what exactly a few people could possibly have advertised as an e book to help with making some dough for their own end, principally seeing that you could possibly have done it if you wanted. These principles in addition served as the good way to recognize that other people have a similar passion similar to my very own to understand more and more on the subject of this problem. I’m certain there are many more pleasant occasions up front for individuals that go through your blog post.
The reason that this bill gives homosexuals the right to form a bi-national partnership is that without the partnership, the immigrant partner has no protection from deportation if, say, they get laid off and their work visa runs out.
It’s adorable how you have 11 comments telling you how great you are, but this article is totally biased and doesn’t reflect the truth: like any straight couple, gay people want the right to stay together. The federal government has created DoMA and many similar laws to expressly invalidate gay marriage.
As you put it “Never mind that U.S. policy does not recognize domestic homosexual partners as families, but now the Far Left not only wants to redefine marriage in America, they want to redefine it internationally”. The Far Left cannot legalize gay marriage through Congress, but I’m glad that you’re upset about that like I am. Instead what they are doing is using the term “permanent partners” which does accurately describe many gay couples who have been denied the right to marry and the over 1000 benefits that marriage grants them, including immigration rights. So the Far Left is saying, “hey, Ignorant Right, can gay people have 1 of the over 1000 rights you guys take for granted?”
Thankfully for you, this bill has died in congressional committees 11 times since 2000, so you can probably disregard the prayer thing and just get on with your life. Or, pray that you can become more accepting of people different than yourself, which if you ask me is a very Christian value. Considering that Jesus said nothing against homosexuals (whereas if you talk to a modern day Christian for more than five minutes, you’re likely to hear some sort of gay slur), it probably wasn’t that big of a deal to him. That’s revolutionary to you, I know.
Good luck with everything.
