How could you be considered married in one state and not the state next door? It's just not logical or workable. Just because voters approve something, doesn't make it right or good for a society. (Although I admit it's better than court-imposed baloney.). As Benjamin Franklin said, "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters."<br /><br />As a Catholic, I believe God will triumph, of course.

Today, it feels like I'm watching collapse all about me.<br /><br />I agree with @Stilton; I'm not a fan of courts unilaterally inventing rights. But it's been going on for quite some time.<br /><br />But if you want to tweak your Progressive friends this weekend, consider this: The Court used Section 1 of the Fourteen Amendment to justify its argument, which reads: <i>Amendment XIV Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law, which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.</i><br /><br />What the court has done is to expand the Due Process Clause to personal choices central to individual dignity and autonomy. So it's only logical that other constitutionally guaranteed rights, such as possessing a weapon should be universally respected as well. So a concealed carry permit should now apply everywhere as well. Just wait until the first test case for this hits the courts.<br /><br />What gets me is that Obama & Hillary, who mere months ago were against gay marriage now victoriously celebrate it, and will get a pass. Call it "Democratic Privilege". It's like the so-called "white privilege", except just real and more hypocritical.<br /><br />Speaking of "white privilege", I'm over it. Just when I thought it had run its course, the South Carolina shooting brought it back with a vengeance. How about a conversation on race instead of a lecture? Instead, let's talk about "black privilege". This is the notion that a black person should be able to walk down the middle of the street high on pot after robbing a store, and then assaulting a police officer with the expectation that absolutely nothing bad should happen as a consequence. Or how about the notion that a murderous riot-inducing openly irrepentant tax evader should regularly get treated to dinner at the White House. <br /><br />What's been amusing me lately are the memes the Progressives have been putting forth. They're criticizing the GOP for having too many choices. At least the Republicans will be getting a wide choice of candidates to represent them. As the party that seems destined to coronate the country's most transparently corrupt mega-millionaire, it seems they don't think much of "choice" outside of the sexual realm.<br /><br />I thought Ramadan was supposed to be peaceful. <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2015/06/23/obama-hosts-iftar-dinner-to-mark-ramadan-and-reach-out-to-muslims/" rel="nofollow">Or so Obama tells us</a>. I guess <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3141497/Ramadan-lots-surprises-chilling-threats-ISIS-social-media-accounts-Tunisia-attack.html" rel="nofollow">that's not the case</a>.<br /><br /><b>And finally, Greece</b>: The Greeks have become the perfect model of hopeless welfare state. Spoiled brats now in a rage because the Germans have grown tired of endlessly propping up their fundamentally bankrupt economy. <b>Even if the EU were to totally wipe out Greece's debt, Greece would still be fundamentally bankrupt.</b> The unfortunate reality is that people can't expect to enjoy a 1st-world standard of living when they can retire in their 50s after working 20-so hours a week for 30-some weeks a year while not paying enough taxes to fund 30-year vacation retirements.<br /><br />But don't get too smug. Greece's current debt-per-capita is around $40,000. Not pretty. But then again, the US debt-per-citizen under Obama is now pushing $60,000. At least they get to live on pretty islands.John the Econnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-386945126168681812015-07-01T09:34:09.425-05:002015-07-01T09:34:09.425-05:00I'm not even reptilian, (a lawyer), and unders...I'm not even reptilian, (a lawyer), and understand the wording that Thief Justice Roberto wrote had more to do with the self-esteem of those whose sexual affections revolve around anuses rather than the actual LAW!<br />Homosexuals will NEVER find happiness in sexual pursuits, so, to make laws based on their LUST will always require addendum.

(Paraphrased). Furthermore, Isiah 32:17-18 and 54:13-14 (KJV) contain <br />more promises to the righteous, as well as Leviticus 26:1-13, As for the wicked, who will <br />not abide His counsel, verses 16-39 lists their rewards, beginning with terror! Not good.<br /><br />So our task, should we choose it, is to be righteous enough to qualify for His promises <br />of deliverance. It's not without sacrifice, but it is so very worth it. <br />XS3mdrvrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-8178486420271454562015-07-01T09:27:46.374-05:002015-07-01T09:27:46.374-05:00The Feral Gov.,in all 3 branches, has assumed Tota...The Feral Gov.,in all 3 branches, has assumed Total Control over the States and We the Sheeple.
