In simple terms, allowing your neighbor to about their baby did not also kill your own child.
This ruling fundamentally alters the meaning of EVERYBODY's marriage, and by extension, the foundational principle of recorded civilization.

Do you really think that a significant number of the American people will be willing to fight a civil war, with all that entails, over this issue?
If you're really talking "ultimately", the only route to survival is going to be the assiduous cultivation of the welfare of number 1. Disengage. The Republic no longer exists. It's every man, women, and family for themselves. If anyone thinks they can recover America from a melange of perversions, memes, financial corruption, busybodies, militaristic law enforcement, hollowed out manufacturing, open front running in the markets, and Presidential candidates out of an Our Gang comedy, I wish you good luck. I'm voting for Pete the dog.
I'm not wasting my last years worrying about it. For those of you with kids, cut the middle class upbringing and start teaching them how to function in a world controlled from the top down by psychopaths. They'll get eaten alive if you don't.
Perhaps that’s intended?

Cakes and flowers are nothing. Businesses will be targeted. Churches will be targeted. Wait for the reaction from black Baptists and Hispanic Christians. Wait for the Muslim exclusions. Wait for the demands that symbols of traditional Marriage be removed. Wait for the 2% to make extreme demands on the 98%.
Wait for this to percolate. People are still reeling from yesterday's ruling.

Perhaps, but would that be such a bad thing?
The liberal states are destroying themselves, most especially with these scotus “wins”.
Just because they won, it has not cured them of their self destruction, but in fact, it will only hasten their self destruction.
Conservative states just need to stand aside and let the lib states self destruct.
I am afraid that if there is a second ACW it will more closely resemble the Spanish Civil War.

Time will tell, of course. I just don’t see resistance to this happening beyond perhaps an annual protest in DC...if that.
Question: Suppose you did form an infantry regiment in response to this court decision.
What would you do with it? Who would it attack?

Wait for the Muslim exclusions
Each State with their own infantry regiments with direct control of the Governor could kick out all federal officials from their state. They could also put pressure on Federal Forts to not meddle. The ultimate nullification. Yes it has come to that.
Indeed. Wrong terminology used here.
And this is, at root, NOT about the redefinition of marriage. It is about unconstitutional fascism foisted on us. If it were not about marriage, it would be something else.
I don’t know, when you see JBT’s kicking in doors of churches and arresting pastors and members in defiance of the federal government that is not going to play well. So then they will of course resort to arresting and jailing Christians from their homes, again this won’t play well.
The question is do Christians accept the abuse and do the non-violence thing of do they eventually fight back and be declared terrorist by the state for defying the king? Either way this Pandora’s box is going to wreak hell on this country and amazing we did it to ourselves.
The war will be over a people whose representatives are ignoring them in favor some fleeting perceived minor political advantage.
This may just be the spark that lights the other combustibles that are piling up.

My guess is that the left likes having a CJ on the court over whom they have that much leverage so they can play the perception that he’s NOT one of their guys when, in fact, he is.
It was LBJ — crude bastard that he was — who often declared that if you “Get them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow.”
Thus it seems to be so with Roberts.
You’re making the assumption that blue states are ok with two separate ideologies existing together, which is wrong. It isn’t enough for a liberal to have a beliefs, they demand that you recognize and accept their beliefs, and then they demand that you celebrate and participate in their beliefs. All at the expense of your conservative beliefs and Constitutional freedoms.
Red states leaving the Union or a civil/revolutionary war is the only way to protect our conservative values since the country is now too far gone to save through voting. Boehner and the republican congress proved that. Unfortunately, I fear conservatives are too lazy, gutless, and fractured with in-fighting to actually band together and fight a civil war or a battle to secede. It is truly sad.
“. I just don’t see resistance to this happening beyond perhaps an annual protest in DC...if that.”
You are correct.
There isn’t going to be any armed uprising or any uprising at all.
A lot of Freepers talk about the silent majority but what they leave out is that the majority is silent because they don’t care either way.
As long as the wifi works and they have ESPN and enough of a job to keep all that stuff turned on then they’re not going to risk that.
The worst that will happen is that the left over reaches and for a time maybe things level off. Then after a few years of things being level everything picks up where it left off.
Gay marriage is a perfect example. About 10 years ago states voted to not recognize gay marriage. Because of 9-11 and the war things held level. Now 10 years later everything started back right where it left off and as of this morning gay marriage is a constitutional right.
