This is only the beginning.

“This point was illustrated by an appalling yet predictable admission from Solicitor General Donald Verrilli in response to a line of questioning by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Sam Alito during oral arguments in April. Roberts asked Verrilli if a religious school that has on-campus housing for married couples would be required to afford such housing to same-sex couples, given that the pro-gay marriage side wants the Court to invent a fundamental constitutional right. Verrilli refused to give a straight answer. Then when Alito followed up and asked him if private schools that oppose gay marriage would lose their tax-exempt status, he admitted, “it’s certainly going to be an issue. I don’t deny that.”

So the destruction of our Constitutional Republic is not an important issue?

All conservatives have heard from the GOP for decades is to just "forget out it" and move on to "more important" stuff (though they never bother to say what is "more important").

We have witnessed, in a span of less than thirty hours, the destruction of the Constitution. America is a very different place than the America we woke up in yesterday morning.

I assume by "more important issues" you are referring to fiscal matters. I'm here to tell you that the collapse of morality has been a prime catalyst for the financial problems, not the other way around. World War II was a far bigger financial drain than the current state of affairs and the fact that it came on the heals of the Depression made it worse. But the GIs came home from the War, got jobs, married WOMEN, had children, bought stuff and the economic burden of the War was soon a thing of the past.

What we have today is a government that is more interested in promoting immorality than it is in allowing America to be the "city upon the hill" that Reagan so often spoke of. America's inherent desire and destiny is to be the greatest nation the world has ever known, that's what most of us grew up believing and it's what we still want today.

The ONLY thing we need to do is take whatever steps are necessary to "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity," and this is accomplished through a "firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence."

“More important issues”

Sure, our country is now a tyranny where all power comes from 5 unelected tyrants, but there are bigger things to talk about.

lol.

That is a laugh riot.
