Conservative Republicans Question What's Next After Gay Marriage Ruling

By Andy Sullivan

While some Republican presidential candidates urged action to counter the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling legalizing gay marriage, grassroots activists at a conservative conference this weekend said they preferred to focus on limiting the damage.

Several presidential hopefuls at the Western Conservative Summit in the swing state of Colorado called for constitutional amendments or civil disobedience to turn back the Court's landmark ruling on Friday.

But Christian conservatives who have been on the front lines of a battle to stop the advance of gay marriage indicated it was time to cut their losses. Rather, they would prefer to ensure that the ruling would not restrict their ability to practice their religion as they saw fit.

"Our first response is moving at a federal and state level to protect religious freedom," said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, a Christian conservative group. "You have to secure your base camp."

Turn back to the states and resist on an individual state level.

Does this mean that there really is no difference between a Democrat and an Republican?

We don't have to accept SCOTUS's LAWLESSNESS.
Ignore it, replace the REPROBATES on the Court, and OUTLAW IT through legislation !

The Devil never rests and liberals never will be satisfied, fulfilled in their quest to turn society into one, never ending orgy, Sewer Palace that violates every law of civility, indulgent in every sick, deviant desire, perversion, ever concocted. Like ISIS in their never ending pursuit in the inventing the worst, most heinous methodology of death, liberals have the same relentless desire to violate every taboo, natural laws of nature.

I read in a post earlier today that the direction, progression in which liberals are likely to pursue, has the lowering of the age of consent as one of their objectives to attain in the near future.

With respect to politics in general, probably amnesty for illegals - that stands most to benefit the Democrat party. With respect to, heaven help us, the “sexual revolution”, I’m guessing it’s a push to lower the age of consent to 12 or so. Ephebophilia is the next big thing - just a guess, but I’d bet it’s a good one.

I think the progressives are celebrating. Not gay marriage but they are celebrating their new ability to go after Christianity with the full force of the federal government.

Gramsci told gradualists and progressives that the largest obstacle to a communist takerover was the church. They will now use activist judges and hate crime law to do that.

I fear we will soon be seeing pastors from all over the country arrested for refusing to marry gay couples. The progressives will file hate crime charges. Churches will be closed, assets seized, and prison sentences will be handed out. They will start of with a few to make examples of them. The media will assist in this by painting these Christians as hate filled homophobic monsters.

They need a victim from their biggest obstacle. They now have a means of getting that victim and will use them.

Do they care about gay marriage? Probably not that much, they care about their revolution. They will use whoever they have too, to get it.

The ends justify the means...

Of course they will....Make Epstein and their Orgies with the kids “legal”. It has always been about the BOYS——always. Civilization collapses once males are fixated in Latency—love of Same-—and can not mature to the love of “the Other”. Sodom and Gomorrah-—or the Fall of Rome and the Ancient Greeks-—all about sex with the boys and little girls. (mostly boys in segregated cultures of completely homosexual like the Afghanis and the Samurai.

When boys are hyper sexualized (like our media and public schools do-—exactly as the Weimar Republic—the Limbic area of the brain (primitive) is enlarged and the intellectual part is submerged. The boys will be fixated in immaturity-—as with most trauma. Emotions will control everything-—it is moral relativism-—no wrong or right in sex. ALL is GOOD-—Godwin and Shelley and Byron (Freethinkers) even were involved in incest-—they HATED the institution of marriage as did de Sade..

Homosexuality is learned and habituated like with the Afghani harem boys.....it is the total emasculation of boys so they become bitches when they are adults. Brutal and puerile. (no morality). Without Virtue, culture collapses and ALL are slaves.

Vice makes Slaves-—as St. Augustine stated, you have as many masters as you have Vices.

Homosexual sex is about Lust and Domination-—nothing else——it is narcissism and dehumanizing at best. It is nihilism.

The best you can do if you have children is become like the Amish or go Galt.
.
Your children will be destroyed like the Hitler Youth (mostly homosexual because the homosexual movement was founded in Germany in the 1800s and they founded Boy Scout troops to have orgies in the woods with the boys. Homosexuality was the National Vice of Germany by the time of the Weimar Republic). The innocence of a child HAS to be protected in this toxic, irrational culture. Every decade since the 60s, it has been harder and harder-—they target your kids now in public schools for conditioning and programming emotions and correct “desires” and the Hollywood sodomites do it big time and are erasing Christian Ethics in your children if you allow them to watch the MSM junk.

By the Federal Government! Makes no difference about whether we actually accept them as married, that is what marriage actually means. In the end, the people decide.

Will this be the ultimate wake up for the "politics is dirty and therefore should be avoided" preachers out there? Or will it be the loss of the tax exemptions that do it?

I hope they have already woken up. If they haven’t already the future of this nation looks grim.

They are. I never allowed my five children in public schools, other than a parent-run (Charter school type) that I was volunteering in weekly and also driving on field trips. Ratio 1:5 and we were best friends with the teachers-—knew what ideas they were giving the children. Parents hired the teachers and we picked out the literature to read, etc-—and we had NO Bluest Eyes they teach in Middle School-—the one where the father rapes his daughter and gets her pregnant and it ends with her understanding that her father really loved her. Really sick, ugly ideas to put into a child’s mind-—BUT THAT ISN’T the WORST they do.

Homeschooling for grandkids. Save the Innocence of the children-—you will NEVER regret it. It is the only thing that is worth anything in Life—the souls/Minds of your children-—your family and friendships. Materialism is just really a waste of time. Books—Read-—I don’t even have TV/Cable-—and it is the best thing EVER!!!!! Now, when I visit with friends, TV seems so vulgar and so evil. I can’t even EVER understand how I could stand to watch it and the commercials——such a waste of time.

I do have a DVE player to watch great DVD’s on occasion—but rarely.
