| Election 2022 Wisconsin Gubernatorial Election Tony Evers v. Tim Michels |
The Wisconsin Governor's race is a prime opportunity for Republicans to take back a key state trifecta, ensure strong election integrity reforms, and restore a state back to the GOP column.
The governor's race seemed like a basic fight between the GOP establishment and the MAGA set.
But there was so much more to this fight than conservatives may realize.
The two man competitors for the GOP nomination were previous Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch and business owner Tim Michels.
One key issue that separated the two candidates? The issue on false marriage.
Rebecca Kleefisch, who was endorsed by former Governor Scott Walker, Mike Pence, and Ted Cruz, announced that she had caved on the issue of family and natural marriage.
Consider this report:
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Republican candidate for governor Rebecca Kleefisch will uphold freedoms to access birth control and same-sex marriage if elected as some fear those rights could be at risk if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.
"Freedom" to birth-control is not freedom, but rather license. The same for false marriage, incorrectly termed "same-sex marriage."
In an interview with CBS 58, Kleefisch said she would not seek to prohibit access to birth control, IUDs and emergency contraception such as Plan B.
"No, birth control will not be illegal when I'm governor of the state of Wisconsin," Kleefisch said.
There is no state law which forbids the use of those items, anyway. Such questions are just ridiculous.
Views on Gay Marriage
Kleefisch, the
former lt. governor, said she supports gay marriage and added her views have
changed over the years on the issue. In 2010, Kleefisch said gay marriage could
lead to people marrying dogs or inanimate objects, remarks she later apologized
for.
Her views have "changed." Really? No, her cowardly push for political expediency pressed her to give up on this singular cultural issue.
"This is in the past and I think it needs to be left there," she said. "I am in the same place that I would say as a vast majority of Wisconsinites and Americans are. My opinion has changed…gay marriage will be legal when I am governor of Wisconsin."
No, the vast majority of Americans do not share her view on false marriage. And even if they did, the truth does not change and we need leaders at the state and federal level with the courage of their convictions to fight for faith and family, not just freedom.
Kleefisch's position is in contrast to her GOP primary opponent, Tim Michels, who believes marriage should be between a man and woman.
Yes!
Wisconsin's
2006 ban on same-sex marriage would go back into effect if the Supreme Court
were to reverse its ruling that legalized gay marriage in the U.S.
That's an outcome which many pro-family forces should be striving for!
So, what about Mr. Michels, specially? How did the media attempt to spin and shame his noble stance on natural marriage and the family?
Tim Michels Opposes Marriage Equality
Republican nominee for Governor Tim Michels is standing by his 2004 opposition to same sex marriage in his bid to lead the state in 2022.
That's the kind of leadership conservatives want to see, and what voters need to see across the country.
At the time of his failed 2004 run for the United States Senate, Michels supported a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman, which would have prevented marriage equality from becoming law in 2015.
"Marriage equality" is another misleading statement. Marriage is about submission and honor, not a chronic demand for fifty-fifty equity. Imagine what a terrible relationship that would be if a man and woman insisted on balancing out how much they gave and took from each other!
To be fair, Michels was not alone in his opposition to marriage equality in 2004. But public opinion about, and support for, marriage equality has blossomed in the last 18 years as millions of Americans changed their mind.
"Blossomed"? More like "mushroomed" or "metastasized."
Not Michels. In an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Michels responded to a question about whether or not he would seek to ban same-sex marriage by stating that he believed marriage belongs to opposite sex couples.
Good.
That extreme belief puts Michels at odds with the overwhelming majority of Wisconsinites, more than 70% of whom support marriage equality.
No, this is not extreme. I sincerely doubt the current statistics, and much of the confusion amounts to the fact that the pro-family movement has not done an effective job (so far) of showing the short-term and long-term consequences to homosexual conduct, false marriage, and fake adoptions on individuals, families, and society as a whole.
It also sets up a clear divide on a fundamental civil rights
question of our time. Democratic Governor Tony Evers was the first Wisconsin
governor to raise the pride flag over the State Capitol during Pride Month and
supports marriage equality.
That clear divide made things all too clear for GOP primary voters, and they lined up behind Michels. Good for them
Final Reflection
The fight to restore natural marriage is not over. The corrupt corporate media wants to give off this false impression that the whole country has moved on and all of us just need to roll over and accept that "marriage equality" is the law of land.
First of all, it's never been the law of the land, but rather a legal fiction because of judicial overreach. Thirty-five states (including California), still maintain statutes or constitutional amendments which recognize marriage as an institution between one man and one woman. When Obergefell gets struck down, then the several states which have rightly defined natural marriage will be able to restore that definition and enforcement within their jurisdiction.
We need more gubernatorial candidates like Tim Michels, and voters should expect our leaders to stand up for what is right, change polls, and shape the culture back to the right and righteous norms that Make America Great.
