Commentators have missed the real significance of Justice Antonin Scalia’s dissent in the gay marriage case. He calls the decision a judicial “Putsch,” an attempt to overthrow a form of government—ours. His dissent, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas, was written “to call attention to this Court’s threat to American democracy.”
Scalia understands the power and meaning of words and he chose the word “putsch” for a specific purpose.
Hence, Scalia is saying this was not only a blatant power grab and the creation of a “right” that does not exist, but a decision that depends on public ignorance about what is really taking place. It is our system of checks and balances and self-rule that has been undermined, he says.
In that sense, he is warning us that we need to understand the real significance of this decision, and go beyond all the commentators talking about “marriage equality” and “equal rights” for homosexuals. In effect, he is saying that the decision is really not about gay rights, but about the future of our constitutional republic, and the ability of the people to govern themselves rather than be governed by an elite panel making up laws and rights as they go.

The hives like Chiraq are infested with candyass lemmings stuck on an island who view the world from a strange looking glass. I’ve chatted with some who were “horrified” that I conducted hog eradication in TX, they are mortified of guns, etc. Many are foreigners who have no concept of the weave of America. When the SHTF they will devour each other and submit to a police state lockdown.
Thank you for your thoughtful post. MY original post said nothing - NOTHING - about shooting cops. I suggested we paralyze them with their own ineptitude. I stand by my words.
Propaganda ministry of kool aid and Hollyweird spout their agenda, all built on lies. No discussion of the danger of homosexual behavior, health risks and mental issues. Attack all who disagree.
We’ve seen this throughout history, suddenly sodomy is paraded around. It won’t last. A culture is not built on this bagrot.
When the SHTF all this nonsense goes back in the closet, quickly forgotten like a pile of feces.
Citation please. I believe these tax increases were actually done in 2013 through the Taxpayer Relief act (funny how congress names things all rosy when they are about to bend the citizenry over).
Good points !
Sorry, I am not as positive as you.
Follow that link and you can see how Gallup came up with 3.8%.
I hope nobama didn't use any of our taxpayer funds to light up the White House like it was something out of Las Vegas.
Great song,
“IOW voting alone cannot cure what ails our former republic.”
If indeed it ever could.
The same 68% did not want Clinton removed from office in early 1999.
I knew then we were gone.After all, it was only about sex, lying and lawbreaking be damned.
After 9/11/01, we had a short reprieve of national unity, until the spring of 2003, when it started to fall apart again.
Since 2005, it has been a straight shot downward.
Wow, at least I have more freedom than you do. What kind of a crazy work place, is it? I could care less what you think of me. But, you are arrogant.
It would shut these mother f**kers down in an instant.
That is where we need to be.
The seeds of a second Amrican Revolution have been sown.
A good estimate of same sex marriage is close to .5 percent. All of this political effort for such a tiny group. This tells me the real attack is on the American majority, its tradition and Judeo-Christianity.
This is the beginning. Prepare yourselves for bigger fights. You will have to get face to face against the radical leftists.
My boss (one of those evil Koch brothers)
expects us to work while he is paying us,
not sit around and discuss politics and personal issues.
Not sure how you read arrogance into screen pixels.
More likely that you have personal issues.

Do not be disheartened. Be stalwart.
We have truth. We are more numerous.
We WILL prevail IF you are strong.
BE STRONG.
Who has the power to say how many 'justices' sit on the Supreme Court?
Congress. See FDR’s “Court packing” plan. It worked wonders, SCOTUS adopted a creative view of the constitution -on the spot-, even though the plan was never implemented.
