U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi received the 2019 Profile in Courage award at John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston on Sunday, May 19. She was praised "for putting the national interest above her party's interest." Whatever she did or did not do in her party's interest, the California Democrat certainly has never wavered in pursuing her own interest.
Since first winning a special election to Congress in 1987, Pelosi has routinely racked up more than three-quarters of the votes cast in her reelection bids. Most recently, she tallied more than 86 percent of the vote in her successful 2018 campaign.
In the final two readings of a recent Saturday's Torah portion (Acharei Mos (after the death)), G-d told the Hebrews that incest, bestiality, and homosexuality were prohibited sexual activities and that the Canaanite nations defiled themselves by engaging in these forbidden and abominable practices. Refraining from engaging in these practices is the subject of at least 25 of the 613 Mitzvot (commandments) that Jews are required to adhere to in their daily lives.
Jewish and Christian moral-values conservatives should read this Torah portion because it reinforces why we find homosexual marriage to be abominable. We should never surrender our brains to homosexual marriage regardless of whether judicial oligarchs impose it or whether a political action committee executes a multimillion-dollar advertising campaign to manipulate a majority of voters into approving it at the ballot box.
