BTTT ~ now more than ever, this thread needs to stay at the top!

A fitting and timely call to arms, Joanie. Thanks.

Joined in prayer, joined in battle.

....it seems that all of the Bans on Gay Marriage will pass in the three states they were up for vote as constitutional amendments.

Yes, they have — and so let us count our blessings! Strangely, this election cycle wasn't a totally unmitigated disaster: Three states will now amend their constitutions to recognize marriage as exclusively between a man and a woman.

Here in Massachusetts, by a plurality of one vote on the Supreme Judicial Court, John Adams' Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts — according to David McCullough, writing in his masterful biography of Adams, the longest-lived, still functioning constitution on the planet, older even than the federal Constitution — was tortured into saying that any one man–one woman definition of marriage discriminates against the equal rights of gay people (and quite possibly the equal rights of other persons offended by such a definition). I feel sure Adams himself would have found the Court's reading incomprehensible and moreover scandalous, a sure means of undermining the most fundamental social unit of society, the family.

To me this election marks the victory of an infantilized, deracinated American public who, by a margin of 6% of the popular vote, bought into Mr. Wizard's Second Reality. But at least the people of three states have demonstrated that they haven't completely lost their minds.

Be grateful for blessings received!

And then let's get to work! I'm sure under Mr. Wizard's presidency, there will be quite a lot for us to do....

May God's Will be done in all things, on earth as it is in heaven. And may He continue to bless America!

Thanks so very much, Jeff, for your outstanding essay-post!

Very much needed prayer and wise counsel on this dark day. The right words at the right time.

Thanks.

Like..... recruit and organize an under ground..
This was the last moderately honest election in America..
Some(like me) have doubts about this one(election)..

We often joked in the past about Free republic becoming hamstringed or inhibited in unknown ways..

This could become all our realitys soon..
Micheal Savage and Rush Limbaugh and others could become "handled" if not outlawed..

PLANS should be made NOW... by "US" in the best conservative website of all.. "WE" conservatives need to hang together or we may hang separately, alone, and marginalized....

"WE" conservatives need to hang together or we may hang separately, alone, and marginalized....

If I'm reading Mr. Wizard right (that would be BHO), a very bad scenario in regard to basic human liberty may well play out in our future sooner or later. First will come the "Fairness Doctrine." Then perhaps some further fine-tuning of election law and immigration law. I imagine Second Amendment rights will not survive the socially corrosive effects of hard-left progressive, "activist," thinking. Plus the future condition thus direction of the Supreme Court seems most uncertain at this time.

People who want to defend their rights under the Constitution had better start paying attention: We have a "sorcerer" as CIC and head of the national government, effective next January.

Many people I've been speaking with lately think that BHO will drag us into a sort of European-style socialism.

Jeepers, I've actually had an even worse thought than that: That BHO will drag America into a state of Third-World-style, fascist tribalism. Already we have Chavez in Venezuela (not to mention hostile elements in the Middle East) crowing about that expected eventuality.

But then, maybe I just have a hyperactive imagination. Certainly I believe it would be better to be proved wrong than right in this particular speculation.

Maybe this masterful wizard of second reality who we have just elected president actually can effectively govern in First Reality. This, however, remains to be seen.

My prayers for you and me and our nation continue....

The wizard of jive probably will not touch the 2nd amendment.. To set those people off will get somebody killed.. They are presently seething.. If the hipster sets them off it will be open season on liberals of any kind especially those in power.. Versions of anarchy are waiting for a catalyst, in the wings..

We need to pray for our President-Elect Obama. God's hand is in this too. I pray for his safety and well-being, and that the Lord would restrain what evil he might do. I even pray the Lord may convert him, and that even through evil, good may result.

Anger was my first response, but it is not the answer here.

I pray for all of us, too, that we would all be given patience in this time of adversity. God is good, and nothing takes Him by surprise.

Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dearest sister in Christ!

May God's Will be done in all things, on earth as it is in heaven. And may He continue to bless America!

Amen!
