I remember when Right Scoop was a halfway decent site. Of course, looking at the Alexa ratings, it appears to be going down.

Just too bad.

The elite are inciting the 99% to just outright rebel against them.

The LGBT crowd will not be satisfied until everyone is forced to publicly celebrate their perversions.

New York City stinks...literally. Donald Trump was a Democrat for so long that he doesn’t realize what American Values are.

The 1st Amendment guarantees the right to peacefully assemble. As such, it also guarantees to the right to NOT assemble. Since the purpose of business is one of the reasons for assembling together to transact commerce, the 1st amendment guarantees the right to both do business and to NOT to do business. Just as the freedom of religion guarantees the right of those who wish to practice a particular religion and it protects those that do not want to practice that particular religion.

Any law which forces a business to serve any customer and does not allow them to opt out of providing that service is de facto unconstitutional.

Could I hold a pig roast at a Muslim facility? I doubt it, because, well, that would be microaggression.

Ted Cruz said New York values are socially liberal and this latest action by the NY Supreme Court proves he is absolutely right. Not only are they socially liberal, but they violate the very essence of the First Amendment by punishing Christian farm owners who refused to host a gay wedding on their property:

I guess you could say the same thing about Oregon and New Mexico "values", as each of those states did the same, with a bakery and photographer.

Here are two letters I sent to about 40 papers and commentators. They have now becaome part of the group I send out around July 4.

Gay Marriage Ruling

Equal protection under the law now excludes tens of millions of Jewish, Christian and Muslim believers, who consider that classical scholarship finds homosexual relationships separate people from God. The Old Testament, holy to “People of the Book”, continually speaks of the character, identity, and purpose of God where He is identified as masculine and all humans as feminine in relation to Him. After creating all things, He created the single institution of heterosexual marriage to example the love relationship He desires with humanity. For these believers subsequent scriptural analysis must derive from that basic understanding.

The Fourteenth Amendment was never a primary concern. Without disturbing the essential spiritual quality of marriage, equal protection could have been maintained through the elegant expressions, and endless tomes legislators luxuriate in creating.

A popular civil trend now erases foundational Constitutional principles of religious freedom. These believers reside outside boundaries guaranteeing the exercise of their spiritual faith in business and personal lives..

Same sex unions becoming marriages tears the spinal cord from the desert religions, leaving a malleable fragment approved by the secular world. People will either accept this new normal or maintain a faith relationship despite repression through redefinition of the First Amendment.

The First Amendment and Gay Marriage

The 2015 gay marriage ruling completes a rewrite of our Constitution. The First Amendment says and used to mean, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press….” In contrast the ruling on gay marriage helps illustrates how far the country has departed from first principles.

We are familiar with the term “speech or expression’, which seems an innocuous expansion of the above amendment. However, “expression” enables a nearly unbounded multi-billion dollar pornography industry.

Justice Kennedy’s majority opinion stated, “The First Amendment ensures that religious organizations and persons are given proper protection as they seek to advocate and teach the principles that are so fulfilling and central to their lives and faith”. Such language severely restricts religious freedom by happening to exclude “free exercise thereof”. Therefore believers pursue a hazardous course to exercise religious beliefs in business and personal lives.

Now we have country in which a woman can express herself in the adult film industry, but cannot start a bakery and exercise her religious convictions by refusing to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple.

We’ve now got a state court decision to appeal to the Federal system on a denial of civil rights basis. This needs to be appealed all the way to the United States Supreme Court.

This is what is meant by New York values. And I bet we don’t hear word one from Mr. New York on this matter.

Cruz didn’t have time to mention this on the “New York values” point: too bad he didn’t.

You would think that they would open their own little places to host and perform these sham marriages. No.. can’t have that. Target Christians, sue them and make them suffer. That’s what marriage is all about, isn’t it?

It will be great to be able to read a post in FR again without all the garbage symbols in it.
