Text of radio ad in support of Florida's Marriage Protection Amendment 2:
Hi, I'm Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. A "yes" vote on 2 does only one thing: it defines marriage as a union of one man and one woman. No one loses benefits. Everyone's civil rights are safe. Don't be mislead by dishonest ads about benefits. Protecting marriage between one man and one woman simply protects our children and grandchildren. Please, vote "yes" on 2.

Earlier this month, Portugal re-affirmed that marriage was the union of one man and one woman. Not like Connecticut, which has followed Massachusetts and California, despite already having a civil partnerships law.
I am tempted to ask, with the lead coming from there rather than from a growing number of the United States, where are "Christian America" and "secular Europe" now?
But instead, consider that the present Portuguese Republic is the product of a Maoist (yes, Maoist) insurrection, a figure from which went on to become a rabidly "free"-marketeering and pro-Bush Prime Minister before being wafted into the Presidency of the European Commission.
Yet now this.
Clearly, there lives and moves yet the spirit, both of the successfully anti-Fascist and anti-Marxist 'Estado Novo' (so like economically populist moral and social conservatism, though in more immediate danger), and of successfully anti-Fascist and anti-Marxist Lusotopicalism (so like the racially inclusive patriotism made possible by and around economically populist moral and social conservatism).
As the grassroots fightback takes first shape and then flight, this is clearly a great transatlantic alliance just waiting to happen.
Here in the country that has Portugal as her oldest ally and America among her closest, we couldn't be happier for both of you.
