I think there is a distinct possibility that these two disastrous rulings by the USSC may have finally woken up the sleeping Silent Majority.
The libs are dancing in the streets now but in Nov. 2016, they may be regret getting what they wished for.
The fact is that most blacks and Latinos are against gay marriage.
I think the Dems are in for a major defeat in 2016, on all fronts.
Maybe I'm being optimistic. But I don't think so.
In a way I’d prefer Sanders or Liz Warren cause then the sleazy corporate Chamber of Commerce types who support and fund RINOism would finally get their comeuppance.
A BBQ live thread....
I like it. No halaal meat allowed.
“voting for the GOPe isn’t going to change anything anyway”
I learned that one in 1994, when the GOPe took the illegal alien side in their war against Prop 187.
It was very instructive. GOPe stooges Jack Kemp and Bill Bennett flew out to condemn us as xenophobes, racists, all the usual smears perfected by the left. And they were joined in that by the then governor of Texas, GW Bush.
Sarah Palin may have her faults, but she was astute enough to figure out four years ago that the nomination process was rigged.
Bush 1 and 2, Dole, McCain and Romney were all chosen long before a single vote was cast in any primary and we will witness the same thing next year. WE can say all we want about the Democrats, but at least they let their nomination process play out and don't just nominate the person whose turn it is.
Yawn. That tired old GOPe moniker has run its course. The Uniparty got us where we are. The Obama, Boner, McConell, Reid cabal, with their alliance to big corporations got us here. People who keep voting for Republicans got us here.
Thatcher said that Socialism doesn’t work in the long term because it eventually runs out of other peoples money to spend.
Signs are pretty good that we are approaching that point. Trillion dollar deficits for several years, doubling of the national debt to more than GDP, monetization of the debt/quantitaive easing are all signs of a drowning welfare state desperately stuggling to keep it’s head above water.
The Gvt\Fed is out of tools at this point..One more bad downturn and the likely result is the whole house of cards collapsing.
The only thing that isn’t accounted for here, the true wildcard, is the number of firearms and ammo in private hands.
I was just about to post the EXACT same thing. The reason things seem to be spiraling out of control is found in Romans 1. God has given us up. Unless there is WHOLESALE repentance starting with the church, we are toast.
NO...NONE...ZILCH amount of voter outrage over two SCOTUS decisions will turn us around. THAT is putting your hopes in man. Only God can save us now.
Not only are we the Jews in 1933 Germany, we are the Jews in Israel in 750 BC.
The uniparty. Unbelievable. Beyond even my most pessimistic expectations.
Anyway, when things calm down a bit.....
If the Founders would have put their freedom up for a vote in the full British empire, they would have lost. They didn’t because inalienable rights are not subject to the will of the majority. The problem we face has nothing to do with the majority. It’s a question of whether we have the numbers to regain our freedom. Then we have to figure out how. We have to abandon tactics that keep failing.
Yeah, I know, be we can’t afford to stay home.
I see and hear it..even here.
“Neither House of Congress should take up any legislation to repair the fail points on this poorly written and ambiguous piece of garbage, unless it is to send up a proposal for repeal.”
But they will pass legislation that funds Obama’s executive fixes of the “law.” When they do, will all of us finally stop voting for Republicans?
First obamacare and now homosexual marriage.
The long term trend is not good. Millennials have grown up with the collectivist, truth is relative, nonsense from birth. They have never seen a rapidly expanding economy where opportunities abound. Instead they've grown up in an environment where the baseline in decision making and money management is the government.
People who believe Scripture is the inspired word of God are a minority and following this ruling it won't be long before the tax exempt status of churches that refuse to marry homosexuals will be denied. I'm sure that when the left finds that God fearing Christians still refuse to comply the trials for "hate crimes" and forced "re-education" will begin.
I know the fiscal conservatives could care less, but what they fail to see is the social issues have driven financial issues. When we started aborting babies our birth rates began to decline. As this happened a magnet for illegal foreign labor was created. Now we have 30 million illegals here who don't want to assimilate, but would rather have a socialist govt take from the productive and give to them.
Ya’ll up North can relax for a bit. They are starting with us Southerners. I wonder what color our stars will be? When they get the evil South subdued, they’ll come for you.
Yeah, after the last few weeks I could see any or all of those happening to one degree or another. About time for me to get churchified, too. Who would have thought that going to church might be considered a revolutionary act?
Man up, gun up.
That’s as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow. When things happen the same way every time, you start to realize there’s some reason for it. I don’t know why people still think the Republicans will do what they say instead of what Republicans always do.
But remember, this is the fault of all those people who stayed home.
I don't doubt this, but if it were 100% true guns would be confiscated.
Holding the House and Senate with less than "veto override" numbers and not holding the White House means we can't overrule the president. So we can't change Obamacare.
It is not realistic to be disappointed in the GOP for not doing what they have no power to do.
I would like to see a GOP president with a GOP congress.
That is my plan.
“gun up”
Already did it. :)
Make no mistake, this handbasket is excelerating at an increasing rate...
there will be “church targetings” within the month.
Homos will seek out the biblical/evangelical churches,
demand they admit them and perform “weddings”,
and use the State to shut them down.
And Bernie Sanders picks will be better? What we need is a radical departure from this process. Whether or not Team Red or Team Blue occupies the WH is not important. When Team Red wins, we actually take steps away from what needs to happen.
What is this radical departure? Let the left rule everything cause you're mad that the GOP hasn't done the impossible in removing Obamacare?
