I just wish we had a governor with nads after ten years of not having one. Maybe next time.

These are the kind of justices that Obama will put on the Supreme Court.

But go ahead, FRiends and vote third party or stay home. There is no reason to back a moderate like McCain.

Good for Richard Thompson for speaking out, he’s exactly right.

The people of California will have the final say in November. Liberals just handed their opponents the issue they were looking for. Their contempt for people's values is going to backfire on them.

If you set moral objections aside, this is a bad ruling from a Constitutional point of view. If there had ever bene a Constitutional right to marry someone of the same gender, it would have been already been written there. This is lawmaking by judicial fiat, four judges who think their law degrees and black robes give them the right to impose their views on an unwilling public because they think they’re so much smarter than everybody else.

Here we go again. Judges making laws from the bench without benefit of the PEOPLE’s views considered.Nowhere in the U.S. Constitution is there any mention that a man has the right to marry a man, or the right of a woman to marry another woman. The Bible calls such unions an abomination and a sin against God's laws.

When four judges can overturn the vote of the people protecting marriage, the Constitution’s guarantee of a Republican form of government becomes meaningless. This battle is not over

Ecclesiastes
Chapter 1

1

¹ The words of David's son, Qoheleth, king in Jerusalem:

2

² Vanity of vanities, says Qoheleth, vanity of vanities! All things are vanity!

3

³ What profit has man from all the labor which he toils at under the sun?

4

One generation passes and another comes, but the world forever stays.

5

The sun rises and the sun goes down; then it presses on to the place where it rises.

6

Blowing now toward the south, then toward the north, the wind turns again and again, resuming its rounds.

7

All rivers go to the sea, yet never does the sea become full. To the place where they go, the rivers keep on going.

8

⁴ All speech is labored; there is nothing man can say. The eye is not satisfied with seeing nor is the ear filled with hearing.

9

What has been, that will be; what has been done, that will be done. Nothing is new under the sun.

10

Even the thing of which we say, "See, this is new!" has already existed in the ages that preceded us.

11

⁵ There is no remembrance of the men of old; nor of those to come will there be any remembrance among those who come after them.

---

IOW - everything old is new again. This paganistic practice existed in all the great empires - Rome - Athens - etc. Each time society embraced this foolishness, it collapsed. Those who do not learn from history are forced to repeat it.

The gay marriage issue is a dictionary problem. When two persons of the same sex manipulate each others genitals for sexual gratification they have no intention of making babies. Perhaps from envy they demand the social recognition that married couples get. If the pairing is friendly and extended they want married privileges. Perhaps they deserve some the benefits like health care coverage on one partners job health plan. But lets fix the dictionary and call it garriage, and say they are garried. So when legislators pass laws they can choose to clearly express which legal benefit and responsibility goes to each type of union.

Destruction of the family is the goal.

What happens when the family structure is destroyed? Dependence. What/who is there to ‘save’ them? Government/politicians.

Big government scheme and both parties are in on it.

TFP Decries California Court’s Decision as “Morally Reprehensible”
Written by The American TFP
Friday, May 16 2008

The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) has issued the following statement about the May 15 decision of the California Supreme Court declaring unconstitutional the overwhelmingly supported proposition 22 and legalizing same-sex “marriage”:

“The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) registers its complete rejection of the May 15 California Supreme Court decision declaring unconstitutional the overwhelmingly supported proposition 22 and legalizing same-sex ‘marriage,’ as a aggressive and morally reprehensible ruling that ignores both the nature of marriage and the expressed will of the California people.

“The 4-3 decision redefines marriage based on non-existent analogies between heterosexual couples and same-sex relationships. It awards rights and privileges to relationships that cannot naturally fulfill the duties of marriage. The Court clearly failed in its duty imposed by natural law to uphold morality in favor of the common good.

“In arbitrarily forcing same-sex ‘marriage’ upon the California people, the Court clearly shows its weakness by engaging in shameless judicial activism and ignoring the express wishes of the people who overwhelmingly approved a proposition forbidding such unions.

“With this decision, it is clear that only constitutional amendments, both state and federal, are the only effective means to stop this abuse.

“As Catholics, we are duty bound to fight this attack upon the family, take the initiative and mobilize in defense of the family.”

The American TFP invites its members, friends and supporters to offer prayers and acts of reparation to God for the offense caused by this tragic decision.
