Thanks, Jim.
G-d bless you, Jim, and thank you for this site.
Jim, you will concur with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton who published this to the citizens of Texas regarding the Supreme Court ruling on same sex marriage (consider the rest in quotes):
AUSTIN, TX
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton issued the following statement Friday morning concerning the Supreme Court ruling that all 50 states must offer same sex marriage.
“Today’s ruling by five Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court marks a radical departure from countless generations of societal law and tradition. The impact of this opinion on our society and the familial fabric of our nation will be profound. Far from a victory for anyone, this is instead a dilution of marriage as a societal institution.
“What is most disturbing is the extent to which this opinion is yet another assault on the actual text of the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law itself. Just as Roe v. Wade ripped from the hands of the American people the issue of life and placed it in the judge-made ‘penumbras’ of the Constitution, so has this opinion made clear that our governing document – the protector of our liberties through representative government – can be molded to mean anything by unelected judges.
“But no court, no law, no rule, and no words will change the simple truth that marriage is the union of one man and one woman. Nothing will change the importance of a mother and a father to the raising of a child. And nothing will change our collective resolve that all Americans should be able to exercise their faith in their daily lives without infringement and harassment.
“We start by recognizing the primacy and importance of our first freedom – religious liberty. The truth is that the debate over the issue of marriage has increasingly devolved into personal and economic aggression against people of faith who have sought to live their lives consistent with their sincerely-held religious beliefs about marriage. In numerous incidents trumpeted and celebrated by a sympathetic media, progressives advocating the anti-traditional marriage agenda have used this issue to publicly mock, deride, and intimidate devout individuals for daring to believe differently than they do. This ruling will likely only embolden those who seek to punish people who take personal, moral stands based upon their conscience and the teachings of their religion.
“It is not acceptable that people of faith be exposed to such abuse. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects our religious liberty and shields people of faith from such persecution, but those aspects of its protections have been denigrated by radicals, echoed by the media and an increasingly-activist judiciary. Consistent with existing federal and state Religious Freedom Restoration Acts that should already protect religious liberty and prevent discrimination based on religion, we must work to ensure that the guarantees of the First Amendment, protecting freedom of religion, and its corollary freedom of conscience, are secure for all Americans.
“Our guiding principle should be to protect people who want to live, work and raise their families in accordance with their religious faith. We should ensure that people and businesses are not discriminated against by state and local governments based on a person’s religious beliefs, including discrimination against people of faith in the distribution of grants, licenses, certification or accreditation; we should prevent harassing lawsuits against people of faith, their businesses and religious organizations; we should protect non-profits and churches from state and local taxes if the federal government penalizes them by removing their 501(c)(3) status; and we should protect religious adoption and foster care organizations and the children and families they serve. Shortly, my office will be addressing questions about the religious liberties of clerks of court and justices of the peace.
“Displays of hate and intolerance against people of faith should be denounced by all people of good will and spark concern among anyone who believes in religious liberty and freedom for all.
“Despite this decision, I still have faith in America and the American people. We must be vigilant about our freedom and must use the democratic process to make sure America lives up to its promise as a land of freedom, religious tolerance and hope.”
Exactly. The 1st Amendment gives us this right loud and clear.
There is no "right to call butt humping marriage" anywhere in the Constitution.
It is almost getting to the point where death would be liberty.
The tyranny is upon us and will worsen but keep the Faith, love God and love your Enemies.....humility in our hearts, cleaning out the wreckage of our past must start if it hasn’t already and continue in our lives if it has started.
I look forward to staying with everyone here on FR as long as we can stay with each other.....
“Come and take it!”
As of yesterday, I have four new flags:
Confederate Flag
“COME AND TAKE IT” Flag
Don’t Tread on Me
Texas Flag
So the SCOTUS has decided to face GOD head on with this latest same-sex marriage decision. Those members of SCOTUS who profess to be Christians and voted in favor of this act of abomination, should resign immediately. There can be no doubt about where they stand and with whom they stand.
Gays and Lesbians will be dancing in the street tonight celebrating their latest victory over the Christians and their GOD. Just like the sodomites of Sodom & Gomorrah, they will be celebrating and calling “give us your men”. Next it will be give us your children or animals or plants or something else.
The perverted acts of these people are an abomination in the eyes of GOD, performing acts which seem unnatural to mankind, mocking GOD, his creation, his laws, and his eternal plan for us. They need to confess their sins, repent, and ask GOD to forgive them. But they will not, boasting instead there is no GOD except man. Fools!
For the love of GOD, why aren’t ALL Christians speaking out against this abomination. Have some been asleep, lukewarm, or just insensitive to the evil acts of these people. Now is the time for each one to decide whom they will serve. You can’t serve one AND the other. I stand with Joshua when he said: “But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD”.
I do not wish to threaten my brother concerning his sin, but in love he has been warned that I fear for him. GOD is sovereign GOD and will not be mocked. SCOTUS, are you listening? America are you listening? Is anybody out there listening?
Tonight, I would ask that you closet yourself, go before GOD, and pray for America. There is still hope when all seems lost if you trust in the Lord.
Bttt
Think they’re finally satisfied?

After an abysmally bad week this post inspired me to donate to FR for the first time in ... well, ever.
(yes, a moth flew out of my wallet)
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, JIM
yup
Looking through this thread, I have noticed that the liberal trolls who pollute your site have failed to show up and comment on your excellent statement. I currently hate the current Government of this country, but I will never give up fighting.
I’m in.
We need to run the defeatists out of here. And the Left wing moles.
Doomonyou just scored a job in Texas and am getting the hell out of CA!
Amen
