How did we arrive at a point, at which we are all compelled to worship at the altar of homosexual marriage????

The commie fags are feeling their oats. Religion is out, sexual deviancy is “wildly popular”. Freaks.

Yet another noisy homosexual in still another attack on the constitution and the First Amendment.

Remember waaaaaay back when all they wanted was ‘equal treatment’?

Gay Marriage isn’t going to harm any Christian.

All they want is to get married, that’s all.

Gay rights will never be used to attack Christians.

You can keep your doctor if you like them.

I’m from the govt and I’m here to help you.

[[An openly gay Missouri state representative told a Farm Bureau staff member that her support for a pro-marriage amendment to the state constitution could result in a loss of federal subsidies to her organization and to the state’s farmers.]]

Proper response- And you sir risk being kicked out of office onto the curb onto your gay rear end for being a dickhead and not representing the people that put you in office and for violating your oath-

This country has simply gone psychotic. Survival in its current form is highly doubtful.

Keep it up asshole. The next time I take the wife and kids to the movies and they need to use the Ladies Room, I'm going to be right there and if some creep with a five o'clock shadow follows them in I do believe I'll get in touch with my feminine side and go on in myself. About the time he takes unwanted note of one of yes, "MY" women, there will be "Trouble".

”… told a Farm Bureau staff member that her support for a pro-marriage amendment to the state constitution could result in a loss of federal subsidies [emphasis added] to her organization and to the state’s farmers."

I cannot believe the above excerpt from the first line.

Simply put, a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that Congress is prohibited from appropriating taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, INTRAstate agriculture not one of those express powers.

“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

In fact, state sovereignty-respecting justices had also later indicated that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for intrastate agricultural purposes.

”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited. None to regulate agricultural production is given, and therefore legislation by Congress for that purpose is forbidden [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

So the low-information state lawmaker unsurprisingly doesn’t understand that the federal funds that he is threatening to have withheld from the farmers are arguably based on state revenues that the corrupt feds stole from Missouri, and other states, by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.

Note that the 14th Amendment (14A) probably also comes into play with this issue. More specifically, Section 1 of 14A prohibits the states from official actions which abridge the constitutionally enumerated rights of citizens, 1st Amendment-protected freedoms of religious expression and speech in this example.

14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

But will gladly assist their own sexual deviants with OUR mis-appropriated tax dollars. Hypocrites.

Houston’s lesbian mayor tried to get the NFL to take away the Superbowl last year when her bathroom ordinance was voted don city wide by the voters.

An angry homofascist will lash out at the public interest when things don’t go their way.

Funny how the Libtards can find all kinds of perversion being allowed in the Constitution (abortion, gay rights, transgender rights) but they can’t see Freedom of Religion in the same document, even though it is in the first amendment.

They are always screaming, “All inclusive”. I don’t think they know what that means.
