The corporatist culture, to which the Supreme
Court belongs, wants the youth to think that
the litmus test for behavior is that it makes
them feel good.
Anybody who wants to sacrifice — for his spouse,
family, country, God — is an idiot. And anybody
who doesn’t use feelings for the standard of right
and wrong is “a hater.”
It’s deeply embedded in the culture now, and later
our kids’ kids will wonder why we didn’t want
to have as much fun as they are having...
shhh! ...except they will all be miserable!
I can not TELL you how much I appreciate your post. Well, I guess I can since I am. lol
That is why I cringe when I see Conservatives (not those playing Conservative) jump on the “privatize it” bandwagon. You know one of the biggest reasons this type of “marriage” is going to be recognized? There’s money in it. A LOT of money in it.
You know why the Tea party is being kicked to the curb? Because we disrupt Corporatist culture. Citizens United initiated the fire sale of America.
Embrace corporatism, privatization, etc. at your PERIL. That, even more than your local LibTard, will kill our Constitution faster than you could ever imagine.
Last week there was a post about a woman whose husband, after 10 years of marriage and two kids (LINK), decided to divorce her, got joint custody of the boys, and now has them living with his new "husband" and an ever-changing cast of friends-with-benefits.
Several fellow Freepers said he was perfectly within his rights, because as a gay it's OK for him to choose as he pleases to maximize his sexual gratification ("he has a right to be happy"), except --- except --- it's not OK to expect him to honor his own choice to marry his wife, the mother of his kids, his choice to undertake vows and natural obligations as a husband and father, because in that case his choice was regrettable, and it's all his wife's fault because she married him.
Go figure.
