In the maps of old, when an area was unexplored and presumed dangerous, a mapmaker might pen the phrase "Here Be Dragons". This warned the explorer that possessed the map that the area had not been tamed, or often, even explored, and that there were uncharted dangers in that area.
The Supreme Court of the United States has struck the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) down. While individuals may have feelings one way or another about this decision, what should trouble everyone on both sides is the report that the majority of the Court has called the minority "enemies of the human race."
This is the most henious, troubling verbiage we have ever seen emenate from the Supreme Court. It smacks of dehumanization of the opposition. When any tyranny wants to eliminate or exterminate the opposition, it must start by dehumanizing them. So if a group of people who hold a given ideology are "enemies of the human race", then they clearly -- in the eyes of the people who so declare -- are not human. An enemy of the human race cannot BE human.
When the dehumanization of your opposition has penetrated your soul, you become capable of any act of violence, any act of oppression. History is riddled with examples of this sort of speech. What invariably follows are pograms and mass-executions, tortures and oppressions, and denials of basic liberties. That our very highest Court has engaged in this sort of verbal assault should make everyone -- regardless of their political persuasion -- quite alarmed.
We do not want to travel into this uncharted area. America has had its' flirtations with depredation of an entire race, nationality, or ideology... but never have we engaged in wholesale slaughter, and we have great regrets for the times we have oppressed an entire class of people. We should not want to embark on another oppression.
We are a divided nation, this much is certain. However, for either side to start speaking of the other as "enemies of the human race" starts us down a path to tyrannical terror and bloodshed of a Biblical scale. I recommend our side, conservatives, not engage in this sort of behavior, and I would ask that our opposition do the same.
Otherwise, as our forebearers once wrote: "Here Be Dragons".
LOL.
You’re right.
The tittie bar has a take-out-window for drinks: adult beverages.
Damn!! That sounds like a real high class one compared to the one we have in town :)
LOL.
OKay!
ANYTIME!
ROTFLOL.
This one sells real nice frozen Margarita’s to go, too!
“The tittie bar has a take-out-window for drinks: adult beverages.”
I have to drive 45 minutes just to get to a place where the gas station closed at 9PM, 3 hours after everything else was shut down; I have to drive another hour to get to a town with an A&W take-out-window. We’re talking maybe 8 hours to drive to a town with a tittie bar.
If you go to such an establishment, I’d appreciate a report.
ROTFL.
I have actually bought lottery tickets at that place.
There’s not much to report, if you get my drift.
If it is a bet I’d place dough on it being a fact.
;<)
This, for the advancement of homosexuals who never contribute to the human race,
from mass murderers who legalize abortion.
Hey Laz, you’re in good company. Mark Steyn calls out this move as “profoundly disturbing” in his latest post at National Review.

I didn’t see where Steyn called this ‘profoundly disturbing’. Can you check that link?
I won't go that far. Plenty of homosexuals have been of service to our human condition -- from the arts, to mathematics, to engineering -- but plenty have been very detrimental. The Nazi leadership, for example, were largely made up of homosexuals.
from mass murderers who legalize abortion.
There is simply no excuse for this mass slaughter.
I linked to the FR page which is only an excerpt. That phrase is at the end of the full version at NR.
Excellent quote. Thank you.
Speaking of that, I try to keep my editorials very brief, but packed with content. I hope I succeed.
what???
Oh, but I disagree. It's a tittie bar; ergo, LazamaHeaven. :)
