I’m not religious and I really don’t care what other people do as long as it doesn’t interfere with my own pursuit of happiness in my life.
That said, I think this country is going off the deep end, trying to accommodate the demands of every tiny interest group that whines loudly enough.
The banksters have been giving most Americans a daily economic ass-pounding for years. The economic situation just gets worse and worse for the overwhelming majority of the population, and will get considerably worse after TPP and TTIP are imposed on the country. Yet we are treated to a series of nonstop distractions like the Confederate Flag, Caitlyn Jenner, gay marriage, Kim Kardashian, etc. etc. etc.
If you think it’s bad after 6-1/2 years of Obama, just wait until the sheeple install Hitlery Clinton in the White House next year.

The gay happy media and the indoctrinated sheeple are–no have ruined this country. I really had no problem with gays as long as they were quiet, but this in your face all the time crap has really turned me against them and the country. Just wait till they start suing the churches for not performing gay weddings, and when they start coming after regular folks who do not agree with their agenda.

How the Supreme Court is appointed and by who—
“It’s right for all,” Obama said from the White House. ‘The Affordable Care Act is here to stay’.”
“He was joined by Justice Anthony Kennedy — who is often the Court’s swing vote — and the four liberal justices.”
This ruling would not have been possible had it not been for two “Conservative” Justices, John Roberts and Anthony Kennedy. One of the most enduring misunderstandings in the minds of Christian voters is that there really is a difference between Republican and Democrat leaders. Unfortunately, Fundamental Christians strongly support the Republican while Mainstream Christians overwhelmingly support Democrat leaders. The truth is exactly what Alabama Governor George Wallace exclaimed in 1968:
“There ain’t a dime’s worth of difference between Republican and Democrat parties”!
The bottom-line truth is that leaders of Republican and Democrat parties are equally committed to the coming New World Order.
Let us now examine the political party of the President who nominated each of these Justices currently on the Court,
” John Roberts Chief Justice Appointed by Republican George Bush
” Antonin Scalia appointed by Republican Ronald Reagan
” Anthony Kennedy appointed by Republican Ronald Reagan
” Clarence Thomas appointed by Republican Ronald Reagan
” Ruth Bader Ginsburg appointed by Democrat Bill Clinton
” Stephen Breyer appointed by Democrat Bill Clinton
” Samuel Alito appointed by Republican George Bush
” Sonia Sotomayor appointed by Democrat Barack Obama
” Elena Kagan appointed by Democrat Barack Obama
Justices appointed by Conservative Presidents outnumber “Liberal” Justices 5 to 4.
I well remember the Presidential campaign of 2004. Republicans were screaming loudly that voters needed to re-elect President Bush because we needed to ensure that the majority of the Supreme Court remained in Conservative Republican hands. That idea was a joke then and a really bad joke today. Since World War II, Republican Supreme Courts have handed the Elite some of the greatest and most important victories which were needed to radically transform America.
What are some of these Supreme Court decisions that fundamentally changed America on the road to the anti-Christian New World Order?
* Legalizing Sodomy and the Gay Lifestyle– On 6/26/2003, the Supreme Court legalized homosexual acts in Texas — and by the nature of their high national office — and throughout the rest of the nation as well. The Supreme Court ruled in such a way that, not only did they legalize sodomy, but they further enhanced abortion rights! Justice Scalia warned that this law also legalized other sins, such as Adult Euthanasia, Bestiality, Incest, and Bigamy.
Now, let us examine the six Justices who voted for this historic decision. Guess what, the majority of them were appointed by Republican Presidents!
The Justices appointed by Republican Presidents to the U.S. Supreme Court at this time were:
Rehnquist (Reagan)
Stevens (Ford) – Voted to legalize Sodomy
O’Connor (Reagan) — Voted to legalize Sodomy
Scalia (Reagan)
Kennedy (Reagan) — Voted to legalize Sodomy
Souter (Bush, Sr.) — Voted to legalize Sodomy
Thomas ( Bush, Sr.)
(Source: Supreme Court, Government Site)
* Roe vs Wade Decision that Legalized Abortion!
No single decision has more devastated America than Roe vs Wade. Almost 50 million babies have been murdered in the womb since that horrific decision. Many people have held up this decision as the ultimate in “Judicial Activism”. Yet, guess what? Most of the judges voting for Roe vs Wade were appointed by Republican presidents!
Here is the list of the Justices who voted to pass Roe vs Wade.
Republican-appointed Justices
(1) Chief Justice Warren Burger- Nixon-1969
(2) William Brennan- Dwight Eisenhower-1956
(3) Potter Stewart- Eisenhower-1958
(4) Harry Blackmun- Nixon-1970
(5) Lewis Powell- Nixon-1972
Democrat-appointed Justices
(6) William Douglas- FDR-1939
(7) Thurgood Marshall- Lyndon Johnson-1967
The only Judges who dissented were William Rehnquist appointed by Reagan, and Byron White appointed by John F. Kennedy. The decision was a 7-2 majority in favor of it. The irony of it was the court HAD a majority of Republican appointed judges. Five Republican justices joined two Democrat Justices to legalize Abortion on Demand!

Abolition of the family! … The bourgeois family will disappear, in the course [of history] as its supplement [private property] disappears, and both will vanish with the destruction of capital.

Changing marriage beyond recognition has long been a stated goal of the organization Beyond Marriage, which is a collection of several hundred gay-rights lawyers, law professors, and activists. They argue that same-sex marriage is merely the first step on the path to redefining the family itself. Ultimately, they want legal protection for a host of other relationships, including, as they delicately put it, “Queer couples who decide to jointly create and raise a child with another queer person or couple, in two households” and “committed, loving households in which there is more than one conjugal partner.” This group is not a collection of cranks: It includes professors from Georgetown, Harvard, Emory, Columbia, and Yale. The Beyond Marriage project has at least as much elite support today as the entire same-sex marriage movement had in 1990.

Bambam – you do not understand libertarian philosophy.
Just like you have a right to want a dick in your mouth, I have the right to not celebrate it of think it is good.
In fact, if I have a business, and I want to not serve men with dicks in their mouth, I have that right. I do accept the consequences of lost revenue, and would not force others to subsidize my lost revenue.
As a smart businessman, I would swallow my principles and treat you with respect and provide a quality service because I want your money.
But, that does not change the fact that you cannot force me to approve of the dick in your mouth. Get it?

On a different note that I thought about upon hearing of the ruling:
Social Security will collapse much sooner now since there is a whole new set of beneficiaries.
Of course this is another instance of government meddling that results in consequences that will create more problems “requiring” more government meddling, ad infinitum.
I have not read this from any of the myriad sites I frequent, and I am wondering what the great minds at TBP think?

SCOTUS Steps In It, Part 2 (Gay Marriage)
By Karl Denninger
None of you who have turned your avatar “rainbow” on Facebook appear to have actually read the Supreme Court opinion.
Why are you celebrating without understanding what you are celebrating? Are you a thinking individual or are you a member of a mob? If the latter, get the hell away from me; you’re dangerous, to be blunt, and I want you nowhere near my person or property. To the extent I can do so I will distance myself from your person and behavior as both are destructive to both self and others.
Incidentally, if it matters, I don’t care who you sleep with. Not only do I have many associates and people I like a great deal who are gay, I also have several friends who are polyamorous.
But let’s look at first the holding, and then the argument the court accepted in issuing it:
Held: The Fourteenth Amendment requires a State to license a marriage between two people of the same sex and to recognize a marriage between two people of the same sex when their marriage was lawfully licensed and performed out-of-State. Pp. 3–28.
Now from the opinion itself:
A third basis for protecting the right to marry is that it safeguards children and families and thus draws meaning from related rights of childrearing, procreation, and education.
…
(3) The right of same-sex couples to marry is also derived from the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection. The Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause are connected in a profound way.
…
The new and widespread discussion of the subject led other States to a different conclusion. In 2003, the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts held the State’s Constitution guaranteed same-sex couples the right to marry. See Goodridge v. Department of Public Health, 440 Mass. 309, 798 N. E. 2d 941 (2003). After that ruling, some additional States granted marriage rights to samesex couples, either through judicial or legislative processes.
…
Under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, no State shall “deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” The fundamental liberties protected by this Clause include most of the rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights. See Duncan v. Louisiana, 391 U. S. 145, 147–149 (1968). In addition these liberties extend to certain personal choices central to individual dignity and autonomy, including intimate choices that define personal identity and beliefs.
…
Applying these established tenets, the Court has long held the right to marry is protected by the Constitution.
…
In Loving v. Virginia, 388 U. S. 1, 12 (1967), which invalidated bans on interracial unions, a unanimous Court held marriage is “one of the vital personal rights essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men.”
I could easily write the longest Ticker of my career as a writer simply by quoting these passages. If you wish to go and look you will find 86 cited examples of the word “rights” in the opinion (and dissents.)
I need not do so; these are illustrative of the fact that the Opinion itself, and thus the court itself, lied, and you’re lapping it up.
A right is a thing that you inherently possess as a consequence of being human. You have the right to free speech. You have the right to freedom of religion. You have the right to keep personal effects, such as papers and property, free from unreasonable search and seizure. You have the right to personal property which may not be taken from you by the government without compensation at its fair market value.
At the moment any entity requires you to obtain a license you no longer have a right — you have a privilege.
The States assert that you may exercise the privilege of operating a vehicle upon the roads if you obtain a driver license. The States assert that you may exercise the privilege of operating a business if you obtain a business license. You may exercise the privilege of carrying a firearm in some states if you obtain a concealed carry permit (a blatantly unconstitutional requirement as the right to keep and bear arms is delineated in the Second Amendment.) I may exercise the privilege of using many of the range lands around Eglin Air Force Base for recreational purposes if I first obtain a permit from Jackson Guard. There are literally thousands of privileges that are all predicated on obtaining a license or permit and none of them are in fact rights, as a right requires no permission from anyone to exercise.
Note carefully that list of cites above. You need no license to engage in sexual activity (such would be deemed outrageous on its face); that is one of your rights. You also need no license to produce a child (unless you live in China, which recognizes no right to procreation!)
The Supreme Court had two options that would have actually addressed the complaints before it without doing what it did. It could have responded to the second part of its holding only, specifically:
to recognize a marriage between two people of the same sex when their marriage was lawfully licensed and performed out-of-State.
That is Federalism. It is also well within the Supreme Court’s remit and would address the issue in full as put before the court. If you desired to get married as a gay person then you could travel to a state that allows same (much as many people do when they elope to Vegas) and the state you reside in, no matter which one it was, would have to recognize the lawfulness of your act. This, incidentally, is why if you commit a crime in one state and go somewhere else that the act you undertook isn’t illegal the first state can demand (and will win) your extradition to stand trial; this is what Article IV Section 1 of the Constitution explicitly provides:
Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state. And the Congress may by general laws prescribe the manner in which such acts, records, and proceedings shall be proved, and the effect thereof.
Respect for the laws of one State, however, does not compel the other State to pass the same laws. This is why income and sales tax rates (and items to be taxed) vary, it is why speed limits vary among states, it is why building codes vary, it is why zoning varies, and it is why business license requirements vary. So long as they do not implicate rights the States are free to form their own legislation, but they must respect enforcement of laws in other States where the conduct in question takes place within that other State, despite someone attempting to evade enforcement by fleeing the jurisdiction.
The other legitimate (and indeed logical) option before the Court was to find that since marriage is a conflation of and implicates a whole list of other rights that the entire process of “licensing” is facially invalid, striking “marriage laws” across the entire country.
Instead what the Supreme Court has legislated is the complete destruction of the entire list of alleged rights they have cited in their opinion! They have reduced your right to cohabitate with, sleep with, procreate with and be intimate with to a privilege, and then have mandated that the States issue licenses to you in order to practice this privilege — but only to the extent that this privilege is extended to everyone else!
For this — the destruction by judicial fiat of fundamental human rights that have resided in each human being for thousands of years, reducing them to mere privilege which now can be revoked or limited, provided that everyone has to live under the same revocation, a huge part of this country cheers?
Government never arrogates to itself power it does not intend to use. If you want examples of what turning marriage into a privilege, along with all the other “rights” attached that the USSC cited will turn into, look toward China where you need a license (permission) to have a child and will be denied permission for a second one, with varying sanctions applied if you do it anyway. Interference of this sort in marriage and everything associated with it, so long as it is equally applied to everyone, was just made legal by this Supreme Court decision since we now have acceded to fundamental human rights being turned into privileges with their associated license.
If you are one of the people cheering this crap here is my response to you and your blatant and outrageous stupidity — indeed, your acceptance of and cheering for the largest single destruction of civil rights ever undertaken in the history of this nation:
Get off my lawn.

Yours isn’t a different note, it is the whole point. Young folks don’t bother to get married before getting freaky and homosexual couples have not been kept apart by a marriage denial. They just want the right to inherit and the social security entitlement.
Bam Bam, did you see up there where I said, I’m over it? Just as there are minor differences we might call distinctions in the doctrines of Christian churches, there are certain rules Admin plays by that may not be kosher with libertarians such as yourself.
He advocates personal responsibility along with his willingness to live and let live. You may have thought libertarian-ism is simply a willingness to put up with libertines.
A lot of folks also misunderstand Christians and think they advocate a live and let live, judge not lest ye be judged, turn the other cheek kind of meek but that is a false impression of reality.

Many people have held up this decision as the ultimate in “Judicial Activism”. Yet, guess what? Most of the judges voting for Roe vs Wade were appointed by Republican presidents!
Here is the list of the Justices who voted to pass Roe vs Wade.
Republican-appointed Justices
(1) Chief Justice Warren Burger- Nixon-1969
(2) William Brennan- Dwight Eisenhower-1956
(3) Potter Stewart- Eisenhower-1958
(4) Harry Blackmun- Nixon-1970
(5) Lewis Powell- Nixon-1972
Democrat-appointed Justices
(6) William Douglas- FDR-1939
(7) Thurgood Marshall- Lyndon Johnson-1967
The only Judges who dissented were William Rehnquist appointed by Reagan, and Byron White appointed by John F. Kennedy. The decision was a 7-2 majority in favor of it. The irony of it was the court HAD a majority of Republican appointed judges. Five Republican justices joined two Democrat Justices to legalize Abortion on Demand!
Admin , yanks a post .It must have touched a raw nerve in the raw amygdala, in which case it did exactly what is was intended to do. It sure got Siddell’s ass all in a pucker.
Bambam @ 3:23 am wonders what all the fuss is about ……in due time, good sir , all will be revealed.
Abolition of the family! … The bourgeois family will disappear, in the course [of history] as its supplement [private property] disappears, and both will vanish with the destruction of capital.

Changing marriage beyond recognition has long been a stated goal of the organization Beyond Marriage, which is a collection of several hundred gay-rights lawyers, law professors, and activists. They argue that same-sex marriage is merely the first step on the path to redefining the family itself. Ultimately, they want legal protection for a host of other relationships, including, as they delicately put it, “Queer couples who decide to jointly create and raise a child with another queer person or couple, in two households” and “committed, loving households in which there is more than one conjugal partner.” This group is not a collection of cranks: It includes professors from Georgetown, Harvard, Emory, Columbia, and Yale. The Beyond Marriage project has at least as much elite support today as the entire same-sex marriage movement had in 1990.

I’d give the traditional TBP response to Obama – Blow Me. But, I think he’d like it.
So this will have to do.

Bambam – you do not understand libertarian philosophy.
Just like you have a right to want a dick in your mouth, I have the right to not celebrate it of think it is good.
In fact, if I have a business, and I want to not serve men with dicks in their mouth, I have that right. I do accept the consequences of lost revenue, and would not force others to subsidize my lost revenue.
As a smart businessman, I would swallow my principles and treat you with respect and provide a quality service because I want your money.
But, that does not change the fact that you cannot force me to approve of the dick in your mouth. Get it?
Live and let live, including me.
On a different note that I thought about upon hearing of the ruling:
Social Security will collapse much sooner now since there is a whole new set of beneficiaries.
Of course this is another instance of government meddling that results in consequences that will create more problems “requiring” more government meddling, ad infinitum.
I have not read this from any of the myriad sites I frequent, and I am wondering what the great minds at TBP think?
SCOTUS Steps In It, Part 2 (Gay Marriage)
By Karl Denninger
None of you who have turned your avatar “rainbow” on Facebook appear to have actually read the Supreme Court opinion.
Why are you celebrating without understanding what you are celebrating? Are you a thinking individual or are you a member of a mob? If the latter, get the hell away from me; you’re dangerous, to be blunt, and I want you nowhere near my person or property. To the extent I can do so I will distance myself from your person and behavior as both are destructive to both self and others.
Incidentally, if it matters, I don’t care who you sleep with. Not only do I have many associates and people I like a great deal who are gay, I also have several friends who are polyamorous.
But let’s look at first the holding, and then the argument the court accepted in issuing it:
Held: The Fourteenth Amendment requires a State to license a marriage between two people of the same sex and to recognize a marriage between two people of the same sex when their marriage was lawfully licensed and performed out-of-State. Pp. 3–28.
Now from the opinion itself:
A third basis for protecting the right to marry is that it safeguards children and families and thus draws meaning from related rights of childrearing, procreation, and education.
…
(3) The right of same-sex couples to marry is also derived from the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection. The Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause are connected in a profound way.
…
The new and widespread discussion of the subject led other States to a different conclusion. In 2003, the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts held the State’s Constitution guaranteed same-sex couples the right to marry. See Goodridge v. Department of Public Health, 440 Mass. 309, 798 N. E. 2d 941 (2003). After that ruling, some additional States granted marriage rights to samesex couples, either through judicial or legislative processes.
…
Under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, no State shall “deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” The fundamental liberties protected by this Clause include most of the rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights. See Duncan v. Louisiana, 391 U. S. 145, 147–149 (1968). In addition these liberties extend to certain personal choices central to individual dignity and autonomy, including intimate choices that define personal identity and beliefs.
…
Applying these established tenets, the Court has long held the right to marry is protected by the Constitution.
…
In Loving v. Virginia, 388 U. S. 1, 12 (1967), which invalidated bans on interracial unions, a unanimous Court held marriage is “one of the vital personal rights essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men.”
I could easily write the longest Ticker of my career as a writer simply by quoting these passages. If you wish to go and look you will find 86 cited examples of the word “rights” in the opinion (and dissents.)
I need not do so; these are illustrative of the fact that the Opinion itself, and thus the court itself, lied, and you’re lapping it up.
A right is a thing that you inherently possess as a consequence of being human. You have the right to free speech. You have the right to freedom of religion. You have the right to keep personal effects, such as papers and property, free from unreasonable search and seizure. You have the right to personal property which may not be taken from you by the government without compensation at its fair market value.
At the moment any entity requires you to obtain a license you no longer have a right — you have a privilege.
The States assert that you may exercise the privilege of operating a vehicle upon the roads if you obtain a driver license. The States assert that you may exercise the privilege of operating a business if you obtain a business license. You may exercise the privilege of carrying a firearm in some states if you obtain a concealed carry permit (a blatantly unconstitutional requirement as the right to keep and bear arms is delineated in the Second Amendment.) I may exercise the privilege of using many of the range lands around Eglin Air Force Base for recreational purposes if I first obtain a permit from Jackson Guard. There are literally thousands of privileges that are all predicated on obtaining a license or permit and none of them are in fact rights, as a right requires no permission from anyone to exercise.
Note carefully that list of cites above. You need no license to engage in sexual activity (such would be deemed outrageous on its face); that is one of your rights. You also need no license to produce a child (unless you live in China, which recognizes no right to procreation!)
The Supreme Court had two options that would have actually addressed the complaints before it without doing what it did. It could have responded to the second part of its holding only, specifically:
to recognize a marriage between two people of the same sex when their marriage was lawfully licensed and performed out-of-State.
That is Federalism. It is also well within the Supreme Court’s remit and would address the issue in full as put before the court. If you desired to get married as a gay person then you could travel to a state that allows same (much as many people do when they elope to Vegas) and the state you reside in, no matter which one it was, would have to recognize the lawfulness of your act. This, incidentally, is why if you commit a crime in one state and go somewhere else that the act you undertook isn’t illegal the first state can demand (and will win) your extradition to stand trial; this is what Article IV Section 1 of the Constitution explicitly provides:
Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state. And the Congress may by general laws prescribe the manner in which such acts, records, and proceedings shall be proved, and the effect thereof.
Respect for the laws of one State, however, does not compel the other State to pass the same laws. This is why income and sales tax rates (and items to be taxed) vary, it is why speed limits vary among states, it is why building codes vary, it is why zoning varies, and it is why business license requirements vary. So long as they do not implicate rights the States are free to form their own legislation, but they must respect enforcement of laws in other States where the conduct in question takes place within that other State, despite someone attempting to evade enforcement by fleeing the jurisdiction.
The other legitimate (and indeed logical) option before the Court was to find that since marriage is a conflation of and implicates a whole list of other rights that the entire process of “licensing” is facially invalid, striking “marriage laws” across the entire country.
Instead what the Supreme Court has legislated is the complete destruction of the entire list of alleged rights they have cited in their opinion! They have reduced your right to cohabitate with, sleep with, procreate with and be intimate with to a privilege, and then have mandated that the States issue licenses to you in order to practice this privilege — but only to the extent that this privilege is extended to everyone else!
For this — the destruction by judicial fiat of fundamental human rights that have resided in each human being for thousands of years, reducing them to mere privilege which now can be revoked or limited, provided that everyone has to live under the same revocation, a huge part of this country cheers?
Government never arrogates to itself power it does not intend to use. If you want examples of what turning marriage into a privilege, along with all the other “rights” attached that the USSC cited will turn into, look toward China where you need a license (permission) to have a child and will be denied permission for a second one, with varying sanctions applied if you do it anyway. Interference of this sort in marriage and everything associated with it, so long as it is equally applied to everyone, was just made legal by this Supreme Court decision since we now have acceded to fundamental human rights being turned into privileges with their associated license.
If you are one of the people cheering this crap here is my response to you and your blatant and outrageous stupidity — indeed, your acceptance of and cheering for the largest single destruction of civil rights ever undertaken in the history of this nation:
Get off my lawn.
taxSlave says: On a different note that I thought about upon hearing of the ruling: Social Security will collapse much sooner now since there is a whole new set of beneficiaries.
Yours isn’t a different note, it is the whole point. Young folks don’t bother to get married before getting freaky and homosexual couples have not been kept apart by a marriage denial. They just want the right to inherit and the social security entitlement.
Bam Bam, did you see up there where I said, I’m over it? Just as there are minor differences we might call distinctions in the doctrines of Christian churches, there are certain rules Admin plays by that may not be kosher with libertarians such as yourself.
He advocates personal responsibility along with his willingness to live and let live. You may have thought libertarian-ism is simply a willingness to put up with libertines.
A lot of folks also misunderstand Christians and think they advocate a live and let live, judge not lest ye be judged, turn the other cheek kind of meek but that is a false impression of reality.
“90% of Americans aren’t queer …..”
—-robert h sidell jr
The correct figure is 98%, although the gay community pushes an inflated 5% figure of gays in the total U.S. population, meaning 95% aren’t gay. Either way, you missed it by 16-26 million people, Bob.
