Joke, 29, Bell, 21 and Art, 26, took the plunge on Valentine's Day after exchanging their vows in a fairy-tale ceremony at their home in Uthai Thani Province, Thailand.
Why aren’t the other states doing this!!!
"Oh sorry. There is nothing we can do. We only control the congress which controls the jurisdiction of the federal courts. Sorry. We don't know how that could be useful in this case. Plus, we don't want to do anything the media would attack us for. Wish there was something we could do but there really isn't. Let's just make sad faces and do what Obama tells us to do."
Secession is the only answer.
“The legitimacy of the judiciary is undermined when a judge legislates from the bench or usurps the power reserved to the states regarding natural marriage,”
This really is a key issue here, how can you respect a bunch of tyrants in black robes who simply wave their wands to wipe away centeriese of law and institutional order in favor of some extremely new and unprecedented idea?
If the Federal Constitution ever prohibited the definition of marriage you would think someone would have noticed between 150 and 200 years ago. This is where perhaps one of the key rules of common law comes into place, Past practice and tradition being the observed rule to keep ‘judges’ from legislation.
But of course the only aspect of Common law such tyrants insist on upholding is to effect the enforcement of their own edicts by other judges. We have a word for that in the English language, its called hypocritical legislative corruption not justice.
It is the greatest failing of our government and perhaps the society around it that we tolerate this highly destructive and anti-republican form of corruption to the extent that we actually honor & respect such clearly lawless edicts. Doing so empowers such dictators and encourages still more lawlessness undermining the very possibility of a free and civil Government of the people limited by written Constitutional law.
Thus contrary to what lawyers say people who uphold such edicts are not upholding the law as written 150 years ago but changing that law as rewritten 10 minutes ago by an unelescted Federal employee in a black robe. That is not democracy, nor is it Republican Constitutionalism in any form. That is tyranny and it will lead only to more tyranny by the same means not law & order.
I was reading an article today about how Roy Moore says two Supreme Justices (you can guess the two) have preformed gay marriages themselves and should resign themselves from giving an opinion this summer. Roy is right, he himself did not vote this last edict released from Alabama and they shouldn’t either. Brilliant move IMHO.
In a recent letter to the Editor of a local newspaper ...
“They love each other; who are you to deny them happiness?”
“They love each other; who are you to deny them happiness?” So goes the mantra of the humanist mind … Human feelings are subjectively relevant, but hardly sound rationale for making decisions.
In the matter of “same-sex marriage” ontological truth is the sole judge of facts, and these principles must guide our response. “You must come to terms with the new reality!” Wrong. Here are the immutable terms of Divine reality – Sacramental Marriage is the indissoluble union of one man and one woman. It was not man who instituted marriage, but God. Carried to its end the recognition of same-sex marriage would create a society without bloodlines, without authentic familial bonds, without genealogy. The essential nature of the marraige, whose object is the sustainment of the human race, makes human feelings a minor subscript.
What is matrimony? The word, derived from the Latin and French, translates to “Office of the Mother” or “State of being a Mother.” (This is not to be construed as intending disdain for childless marriages. That such cases arise, whether by accident or intent, does not change the nature of marriage.) By definition marriage has a natural end – a divinely intended purpose – that is subverted by what the misinformed assert to be an “alternate but equal” form. This redefinition eventually places validity on any kind of union; and the acceptance of such opens the door to calling any pairing a marriage – including adult with child, child with child, human with animal, human with non-sentient life (plants), or even with non-life (inanimate objects). Moreover, it denies the anatomical, physiological and psychological realities that prove the mutually beneficial and complementary purpose of the sexes (Note I write sexes, not “gender” – a grammatical term, used to ascribe the personal pronouns of a sex: he, she, him, her). Two men or two women may sincerely love each other, but affection does not constitute marriage, and nor could man ever make subjective accidents its substitute. What same-sex marriage proposes is the institutionalization of a non-life affirming union that is intrinsically disordered; because such coupling is inherently sterile, and contrary to the intended purpose for which the design of the two sexes verifies, and for which authentic matrimony provides the best environment.
Many today are quick to boast the catchall of “human rights,” so to justify numerous falsehoods ... To which I reply: What of God’s Rights? The insistence that “we come to terms with this practice” requires us to accept that which is contrary to human life as being equal to that which propagates and nurtures life. What advocates of same-sex marriage demand is that we provide legitimacy to an aberration, that we make no distinction between reality and fantasy, truth and deception – that we bear false witness against our neighbor. To comply with their demands requires that we deny both the biological facts and the ontological principles to which nature itself testifies. Rational minds can no more submit to such insanity than they could deny existence of the stars. Respect for basic truth should give sufficient reason to not follow this latest design of the humanist movement.
Recent revelations, made by those who push for the redefinition of humanity’s most fundamental root, confirm that the true purpose of codifying same-sex marriage is not to advance some novel notion of “equality,” as has been continually asserted by its advocates; but rather the purpose is that, in conquering this one obstacle – the divinely-instituted sacramental compact that reserves marriage to the union of one man and one woman – the real prize sought, legitimizing homosexual behavior, may be won. In other words, the “gay marriage” banner is a disingenuous facade, based on a false pretense of prejudice, a false premise of fairness, and whose true goal is the undermining of ordered society for the sake of legitimizing destructive behavior.
The idea that we must “accept” a false paradigm, that we must defer good judgment and give our assent to that which is inevitably destructive to the body and the eternal soul, is repulsive. It is repulsive because it demands we do that which is opposed to love. Indifference – not hate – is the true opposite of love. (The parable of The Good Samaritan illustrates this point.) To be indifferent to the truth for the sake of human affection or respect is hypocrisy and grave sin. It is uncharitable, and thus unjust. If we truly “love our neighbor,” then we cannot be indifferent to what is contrary to his best interests – both in this life and eternity. We perhaps cannot help the accidents of life: who we are attracted to, and who we may come to love; but human circumstance does not justify legitimizing what is contrary to nature and God’s Law. Some may protest: “What shall you say when your child tells you he or she intends to marry another of the same sex.” I reply: What will you say, friend, in defense of this supposed union, when you stand before God? “They love each other; who are you to deny them happiness?” That truth is what sits at the crux of the matter.
That’s IT! I’m moving to Alabama!
Great article!
