Like mile markers in time, certain calendar dates stand in memory as not only historic, but momentous. Dates like Dec. 7, 1941, and Sept. 11, 2001, represent far more than mere days on a calendar. Now, May 17, 2004, must be added to that list.

Why? Because today -- by the unilateral decision of activist judges -- the state of Massachusetts will legalize same-sex “marriages.” This is a day that will live in moral infamy. Civilization itself has been attacked by forces that would redefine marriage, normalize homosexuality and transform our understanding of family, gender, parenthood and human relationships.

According to press reports, homosexual couples began lining up outside government offices as early as Saturday night. Just as the clock struck 12:01 a.m. in Cambridge, city officials began issuing same-sex “marriage” licenses. Though Massachusetts has a three-day waiting period, judges were expected to issue waivers to allow homosexual couples to marry on Monday.

Cambridge -- a notoriously liberal community that is home to Harvard University -- was the only Massachusetts city to open its offices Sunday night in order to issue licenses to same-sex couples. First in line were Susan Shepherd and Marcia Hams, a lesbian couple who have lived together for 27 years. 'It's a little overwhelming to be the poster child for gay marriage,' Shepherd said. In Boston, the first same-sex licenses were reserved for three of the plaintiff couples in the case that eventually led to today's cultural watershed.

Day Of Infamy Crash

All this takes place after the Massachusetts General Assembly had passed a proposed constitutional amendment prohibiting same-sex “marriages.” When the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts handed down its infamous Goodridge decision last November mandating same-sex “marriages,” public outcry forced the legislature to act. Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney also opposes same-sex “marriage,” and he sought an emergency stay from the Supreme Judicial Court in order to allow the people of Massachusetts to make their will known, rather than base such a momentous act on seven judges who voted 4-3 in their decision. Even if passed by vote of the people, a constitutional amendment cannot take effect until 2006.

Appeals to federal courts were unsuccessful, as the U.S. Supreme Court refused to intervene on Friday. Another federal appeals court is scheduled to rule on the issue in early June but few expect that court to stop the marriage licenses from being issued.

As expected, the religious enablers of the homosexual movement were celebrating this 'victory' and getting themselves ready for a week of busy wedding schedules. In Cambridge, a multi-faith service called 'Blessings on the Eve of History' was held at the historic Christ Church on Sunday night. According to The Washington Post, the service featured ministers and rabbis fanning out in the congregation to bless homosexual couples. In the sermon, Rev. Steven Charleston acknowledged that opponents of same-sex “marriage” believe such unions will end civilization. 'Perhaps they are right,' he said. The Post reported that the congregation greeted that line with 'wild applause.'

The Unitarian Universalist Association -- the far-left religious body headquartered in Boston -- announced its intention to make history by “marrying” large numbers of same-sex couples as quickly as possible. Today, the group's president, Rev. William G. Sinkford, is scheduled to officiate at the union of Hillary and Julie Goodridge, the lead couple in the court decision that now bears their name. The Unitarian Universalist congregation in Littleton held a special 'Freedom to Marry Sunday' on May 16, opening the service with trumpet fanfares and testimonies from homosexual couples.

The state's Episcopalians, on the other hand, should not be performing same-sex ceremonies, at least if they obey their three bishops. All three are supporters of homosexual “marriage,” but they have forbidden their priests to marry such couples out of concern for the larger church. In response, Rev. Carter Heyward, a professor at the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, announced plans to defy the bishops and perform same-sex “marriages.” She was one of 11 women who were irregularly ordained in 1974, when the Episcopal Church did not ordain women. She told The Boston Globe that her rebellion against the bishops was a form of 'constructive disobedience.'

What will all this mean for Massachusetts, for the nation and for marriage? The media will show the nation a mass of smiling couples today -- basking in their newly declared 'right' to marry. Commentators will describe this historic day as a monument on the road to the full liberation of homosexuals, the complete normalization of homosexuality and the total flexibility of marriage. “Where is the harm?” they will ask.

The harm is first to the institution of marriage itself. Today, the state of Massachusetts joins the Netherlands, Belgium and three provinces of Canada as the only major jurisdictions where homosexual couples can “marry.” If this decision stands, marriage will never be the same again. Humanity's most venerable and cherished institution has been redefined by a few in the secular elite in the name of liberation -- and it will inevitably be destroyed in the process.

The Massachusetts court ruled that marriage should be seen as a basically secular institution and thus is open to secular reinterpretation and redefinition. But this logic ignores the fact that church and state have shared a common understanding of marriage at the basic level -- that it is the union of a man and a woman. That stands no more. From this point onward, the believing church must know that its definition of marriage is not shared by the state. This will lead to truly tragic levels of confusion -- and perhaps even to coercion.

Frictional collection for mac download. C.S. Lewis rightly described the Christian understanding of marriage as 'based on Christ's words that a man and his wife are to be regarded as a single organism.' As he continued, 'The male and the female were to be combined together in pairs, not simply on the sexual level, but totally combined.'

Marriage was given to humanity at creation, when God instituted marriage as the most basic unit of human civilization -- the most fundamental building block of society. Marriage regulates sexuality, provides the man and woman with protection and partnership, and creates context for procreation and the successful raising of children. Marriage creates the household and establishes the family unit. Without marriage, social and sexual anarchy are set loose, and human suffering will inevitably follow.

None of this will be obvious in the media coverage today. Instead, reporters and analysts will tell the nation that happy couples were joined in homosexual “marriages” -- and that marriage still stands. It will, of course -- at least for a time. But, like a crack that begins in the corner of a window and then slowly spreads across the pane, marriage will suffer the slow death of a thousand insults. Once marriage no longer means the union of a man and a woman, it can and will mean anything. Once it means anything, it means nothing. Only those who define marriage by a transcendent standard will retain the cherished memory of what marriage once was -- and among biblical Christians, what marriage must always be.

A conservative, said Russell Kirk, 'is a person who sees human society as an immortal contract between God and man, and between the generations that are dead, and the generation that is living now, and the generations which are yet to be born.' We now witness the breaking of this immortal contract. The state of Massachusetts -- ruled by a tiny elite of activist judges and encouraged by a brigade of renegade religious leaders -- will now break the contract that would receive marriage from our ancestors and pass it on intact to our children and to our children's children.

This is a day that will live in moral infamy. The attacks on Pearl Harbor, New York and Washington awakened the nation to peril and called citizens to action. That must happen once again, as millions of Americans must now awaken to the fact that an out-of-control judiciary and an army of social engineers are forcing their will upon us. If the Massachusetts decision is allowed to stand, this nation faces nothing less than moral disaster. America is now a nation at war with itself, and with marriage.

Day Of Infamy Hack

Today (on the day of it’s announcement!) I’m taking a first look at New World Interactive’s “Day of Infamy”.

The Steam Description of this particular title reads “Experience intense close-quarters WWII infantry combat, from the entrenched shores to the battered streets in Day of Infamy. What started out as an Insurgency mod has transformed into a full-fledged standalone game built with Source Engine” Shortly after it’s reveal at the PC Gaming E3 Conference I was soon invited to the Closed Alpha of the game.

I’m a veteran of NWI’s first title Insurgency and enjoy playing the game with my friends in the gaming community, it’s an intense game that can be unforgiving, and I expect no less from Day of Infamy.

Loading the Game up from Steam I’m greeted with a simple title screen that grants me access to the usual Source-engine driven menus, Jumping into a server browser I find a few servers with some players on them, jumping into one puts me in Sicily on the side of the British.

I’m met with a multi-point domination map with wave combat that is classic Insurgency. I selected the sniper role and dropped into game with the default loadout. What immediately struck me was just how quiet the match was. Granted, I wasn’t in a full server but we had 4-5 players to both sides and what would normally be a fusillade of bullets was instead suspenseful quiet, occasionally broken by the crack of a rifle or the muted explosion of a grenade.

Have a look at some screenshots below:

The standard Squad Selection and Kit Selection screens I’ve grown used to are there, and the weapons stay mostly true to the period. (The German sniper can affix a scope to the Gewehr 43 that has a Picatinny rail on it, which I’m fairly certain didn’t exist in that era, New World.) I personally found the wide variety of bolt-action rifles led to a much slower and more methodical combat. Machine gunners and SMG wielders would occasionally disrupt things but battles were mostly won or lost in 2 to 3 shots as players took their time to make the shot count.

I don’t know how long that will last as the game continues into release, but for the closed testing crowd, it was an interesting FPS experience.

I ran into a few glitches and errors, all to be expected at this stage of the game, but so far with where we’re at, the game looks great and plays well. The different classes each feel as if they bring something to the battle and you distinctly feel at a disadvantage if one team has a compliment of machine gunners against an opposing team with just riflemen or support soldiers with SMGs, for example.

It encourages balanced gameplay and with it’s cut-down UI, just as we had in the stock Insurgency experience, it remains the gritty first-person shooter Michael Tsarouhas described to me during our discussions about it.

Day Of Infamy Cracked

If you like Insurgency, you’ll like Day of Infamy all the same, it’s a different flavor of the same shooter with a few tweaks that change up how combat is approached in all new locales.

All in all. I like it! Make sure you pick it up when it goes live in July!
