....”No man is sooooo hard up as to marry either of them. What do they see in each other? A last resort!”....

I think the gal in front is likely the dominate one. The dikes usually are and seek out easily led woman.

When I was a kid there was a family in town who had three daughters...two which were gay. I went to school with them and let me tell you I was afraid of them...both were tough talking and rough characters...mostly we avoided them.

....” It's almost as if a satanic mastermind orchestrated our descent into madness. It's almost as if this mastermind gained control of every powerful influence in America. (Entertainment, education, government, the courts.) Almost.”....

This is because the Liberal/ Progressives are VERY organized when it comes to spreading their agenda....for they do move as a ‘group”....so it does not take many to change the trajectory...especially since our educational system has pretty much indoctrinated the masses at this time. It's notable that those who “follow” and assist the liberal agenda are young.

Bravo, Justice Scalia.

What can be done? I’m in, if it’s a matter of making calls, writing, etc.

How to regroup...

I’m typing in gross generalizations, not that it matters. As far as the “country” is concerned, we’re witnessing spectacular events. The liberals call it “progress.” We see it as the end of a experiment that lasted for a little over 200 years. Now that the liberals see that conservatives have no viable voice, our decline will likely be exponential.

What does one expect, when even the ‘Righty’ on the court refuses to acknowledge our Constitutional...wait for it...REPUBLIC.

I’m thinking Scalia/Cruz, 2016...

Then JimRob will have to get ahead of the curve and buy some soon to be beachfront property called Nevada.

Where’s the evidence that if we (once again) push them into office they will represent us?

I think they’ll turn on us again and give us a bunch of Roberts and Kennedy’s.

Levin has it right. The problem is that everyone at the federal level is in cahoots to increase their own power and reduce our own.

Our changes will have to come from the grassroots, local, and state level up, without asking their permission, without crossing our fingers and hope they don’t betray us again.

We have a convention of the states.

We vote for the amendments.

We cram them down their throats.

We are a communist nation. All that’s missing (as far as we know) are the Gulags and work camps. But they will come, comrade.

Yes - exponential is a good way to describe it. There are no rules and little to no opposition so the next few years should be interesting.

No we are not communist yet. Far from it. But that is next. I see little opposition if they were to move quickly to implement communism. Supreme Court? Probably no help there. Congress? There would probably be arguments over the most efficient way to implement it.

On the plus side, this opens up our options to own nuclear weapons, etc. Just because the Founding Fathers didn’t specifically mention them (just as they didn’t mention homosexuality), that doesn’t mean that it isn’t a “natural extension” of the right to bear arms.

The reason to do it is because it ought to be done. There is no reason not to do it.

I would rather tell my children and grandchildren I tried and failed rather than telling them I didn’t try at all.

The feds don’t want you owning your 22 rimfire lever action Winchester. You think they’d let you own a nuke?

Of course they won’t let me. But I think it is my Constitutional right. (No, NSA, I’m not building a nuke in my basement, nor do I have any desire to do so.)

I’m sure there are plenty of people that get in trouble for illegal firearms. Does NY still have the law against magazines with more than 7 or 9 rounds? I’d like to see them start chipping away at our restricted right to bear arms. The whole point of the 2A is not hunting. It is the ability to protect oneself from harm and that includes protecting oneself from a government that has become oppressive and totalitarian.
