Obama says Supreme Court same-sex marriage ruling is justice 'with a thunderbolt'
Market Watch ^ | 06/26/15 | Market Watch Staff

President Barack Obama on Friday welcomed the Supreme Court decision to give same-sex couples the right to marry. In a speech in the Rose Garden, Obama called the ruling justice "with a thunderbolt." The president acknowledged that many Americans have religious objections to the high-court decision. "Today should also give us hope that the many issues we grapple, often painfully, real change is possible," he said. The president said the ruling was the result of small acts of courage by ordinary Americans that made the country realize that "love is love."

Some of the Psalms refer to fire from heaven in terms that suggest lightning.

Got to remember, Satan is a big copycat.

Given them a “word.”

It wasn’t the side privileges that was the motivator in this case. It was being able to masquerade at the highest levels.

The alphabet perverts are winning, the commies are winning, and the socialists are winning. Civilization was reset to the ancient land of sodom and Gomorrah. Judge Borke called it.

“Justice with a Thunderbolt” would involve an A-10 ‘commenting’ on the next Democrat National Convention.

On the evening of March 21, 1915, President Woodrow Wilson attended a special screening at the White House of THE BIRTH OF A NATION, a film directed by D.W. Griffith and based on THE CLANSMAN, a novel written by Wilson’s good friend Thomas Dixon. The film presented a distorted portrait of the South after the Civil War, glorifying the Ku Klux Klan and denigrating blacks. It falsified the period of Reconstruction by presenting blacks as dominating Southern whites (almost all of whom are noble in the film) and sexually forcing themselves upon white women. The Klan was portrayed as the South’s savior from this alleged tyranny. Not only was this portrayal untrue, it was the opposite of what actually happened. During Reconstruction, whites dominated blacks and assaulted black women. The Klan was primarily a white terrorist organization that carried out hundreds of murders. 

After seeing the film, an enthusiastic Wilson reportedly remarked: “It is like writing history with lightning, and my only regret is that it is all so terribly true.”

He really does have a GOD like image,
an ego as big as all outdoors, with
the brains of a snail.

Interesting that he would use the word, "thunderbolt".

The Semitic root B-R-Q has the meaning "to shine"; "lightning".[1]:p.122 The Hebrew name ברק Bārāq is biblical, given after Barak, a military commander in the Book of Judges.

My son told me he didn’t want to join the army because he didn’t want to die. I didn’t say anything, but I agree with him now.

The government of this country is NOT worth dying for.

There is also the plague of hail in Exodus 9. And of course the plagues that the Philistines received in 1 Samuel 7.

“Given them the word”

“It wasn’t the side privileges that was the motivator in this case. It was being able to masquerade at the highest levels.”

But merely giving gays the right to have the title “marriage” be bestowed on a pair of them isn’t the stuff laws are made for. There must be something more.

“‘With a thunderbolt’?? Obviously, not reasoned or well thought out. “

Like every single other aspect of his dismal Presidency. The guy’s an asshat.

He will get his own “thunderbolt” someday. What goes around, comes around.
