Loss of critical thinking skills has wrecked the country.
Even with Keyes, which is surprising. In the article, he actually tries to equate gay "rights" with allowing murder. What rot.
The limitations on religion come from the definition of religion. Under the 1st Amendment, the definition of religion does not include allowing the killing of non-believers, or the enslaving of women or non-believers.
"Gay rights" are unconsitutional in that they are special rights designed solely to benefit people depending on who they like to f**k. Needless to say, there isn't a whole lot of historical legal support for such an argument, except against gays. However consider the pissy solution gays have come up with - they were harmed by laws illegalizing them, so they are trying to hurt their own society by illegalizing it in favor of them. It never occurs to these morons that imbalance is imbalance - or that they are trying to destroy a country that did acknowledge their sexual freedoms (despite the loathing of many of its people for them), rather than just destroying them like everywhere else.
Fact is, most, if not all, of the "modern" legal issues came about by the misuse or selective enforcement of laws that were already on the books. But instead of dealing with that issue of corruption, it was spun into getting ignorant people to believe that we needed a whole new set of laws for each issue.
Accepting that concept is where we went off the cliff.
I read as an apology for the founding principles reflected in our Declaration of Independence— and likewise a reflection of
Locke who along with Montesquieu and Blackstone were among the most cited European writers —the “Sacred Writings”The
Christian Bible remains the most cited authority of the Founding era. But Locke ,Blackstone, Jefferson, and James Wilson all seemed on the same page that human laws are invalid if they contradict the laws dictated by God ,Himself. I believe Alan Keyes did not intend to suggest the Islamic system could compare to Christianity. But cited such examples- along with reference to the blasphemy of Gay Rights—as example of human laws that are violation of the rule of law as understood int he founding era.
