Whatever happened to the creed: "A government of laws, rather than of men?"
Didn't he invent... the three period pause???
First off, we keep hearing over and over again from leftists, that there is a wall of seperation between "church and state."
At the same time, this court states that there's a "right" for homosexuals to marry. This begs the question, where to rights come from?
I've never actually heard this addressed by any leftists, although I've heard some mumble something about how "government gives people rights." But if that's the case, then governments can take those rights away just as easily (which has been seen over and over again during just the last 100 years).
Worse, it is contrary to the two founding documents of the United States of America: The Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution.
From the Declaration of Independence: " We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
This states, in no uncertain terms, that rights come from G-d, NOT FROM GOVERNMENTS! These rights are unalienable, meaning that the government should NOT be able to take those rights away (although that never stopped any government that wanted to do so... After all, they tend to have the biggest and best guns).
" --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, "
This flatly states that governments are formed by men, and therefore, did not exist before their formation. Taking this a step further, if you believe that rights come from governments, you must then believe that without governments, we have no rights.
This ruling asserts that there's a "right" to homosexual mariage. But if that right comes from G-d, then G-d must be in favor of homosexual mariage. But the Bible doesn't support that at all. But then, according to these same people who support that "right," the Bible has no place in government.
So, they are specifically contradicting the intent of the Declaration of Independence.
Another important thing to think of is how the judicial branch is usurping the power of the legislative and executive branches of government, in a direct contradiction of both the Constitution (which lays out exactly what the governemt - and each branch - is allowed to do) and the Declaration of Independence: "--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, " This ruling specifically contradicts the consent of the governed!

That's three dot journalism boy...
I like yer tagline...how about Gumbermental Environmental Parisitic Progeny Even Trying To Ovulate? (Geppetto) The puppetmasters are breeding a new CONservancy paid for by the conned servants (taxpayerus americanus).
Yassireebob, it shore is!!! (and mine is three stinger yernalism)
An endangered species, if EVER there was one!!!
"Geppetto," not bad... not bad at all!!!
Not precisely, it's not a matter of "should." Government CANNOT take those rights because they are unalienable; i.e., cannot be separated from you. Government can only violate unalienable rights; they cannot take them.
Bump.
Once again someone's ordering room service and charging it to my room.
If I didn't have the best job in the world, I'd have left long ago.
That is determined by whether we can keep it, as Mr. Franklin expressed.
Eternal vigilance and all that.
I'm going from supporter, to activist on this one. So the fight is just starting.
I'm confident that we can do this once we open more people's eyes to the hollow LIEberal agenda and show people what happens when sleazes like Richard Kramer are empowered more people need to see the pattern that has been used to degrade America from within.
We know their names, its just a matter of getting the message out. I think that breaking the extremist academic fraud pagan monopoly in academia is the next step after we get an amendment protecting society from this assault on the crucial human institution. Maybe we can "mobilize" on the streets, if there is are good reasons for street protesting in America today, judicial tyranny is one of them. But I don't know much about doing such things myself. I just know that we have to break the mold, responsewise this time, on this crucial tipping point.
When people know what's on the table, believe me, they will not side with the nihilists or fall for their propaganda anymore. My idea is that we have to expand exponentially and extend our communications campaign into the belly of the beast, large cities that went Democrat for lack of information.
Well, if you hear anything in this vain, let me know, I'm relatively new to Free Republic and am interested in effective activism.
Actually, the picture makes tons of sense, "Blue" California is ruled by oligarchy/degenerates. The picture represents the culture that sets the agenda in Republican states vs those that went Democratic.
The libs know they can't redefine marriage at the ballot-box, as evidenced by most Californians defending it at the ballot box with proposition 22. So a sleazy lawyer perverted the law and inposed his policy preferance on society.
Such a state of affairs must change.

Until Republican professional politicians stop acting like the Democrats have control of castrating them, we are screwed.
A power shift of just 5=7% will make major differences in California.
