BLAME THE GOP FOR PRO-SODOMY COURT DECISION By: Reed R. Heustis, Jr. June 27, AD 2003

With one stroke of the pen, [homosexuality] has triumphed at the Supreme Court.

And guess what?

Republican-appointed Justices are to blame.

With a convincing 6-3 decision in Lawrence v. Texas, the United States Supreme Court on June 26 overturned a 1986 case, Bowers v. Hardwick, which had upheld the legitimacy of an anti-sodomy law. Sodomites and perverts all across America are hailing the Lawrence decision as the biggest gay rights victory in our nation's history.

Mitchell Katine, the openly gay attorney representing John Lawrence and Tyron Garner, the men whose arrest in 1998 led to the decision, proclaimed, "this is a day of independence."

Whereas homosexual deviancy has long been celebrated in the media and on our university campuses over the last two decades, the Johnny-come-lately Supreme Court now joins the orgy. As dissenting Justice Antonin Scalia correctly stated, "The court has taken sides in the culture war...."

How could this have happened?

Weren't Republicans supposed to be the champions of traditional values?

Weren't Republicans supposed to be the stalwart defenders of our nation's Christian heritage?

Seriously, just think:

Every four years without fail, the Republican Party instructs Christians to elect Republicans to office so that we can thwart the left wing agenda of the Democratic Party.

Every four years without fail, the Republican Establishment warns its rank and file never to vote for a third party candidate, lest we elect a Democrat by default by "giving him the election".

Every four years without fail, Christians are told that third party candidates cannot win, and that a vote for a third party candidate is somehow a vote for the Democrat.

Every four years without fail, Christians are bamboozled into believing that their beloved Republican Party will restore this nation to its Christian heritage.

Every four years without fail, we are told that only a Republican can appoint a conservative Justice to the high bench so that liberalism can be stopped cold.

Without fail.

Christians, wake up!

It is the Republican Party that is responsible for moronic decisions such as Lawrence. Quit blaming the liberals and the Democrats. Blame the GOP!

Out of the six Justices that formed the horrifying 6-3 Lawrence majority, four were appointed by Republicans! Four!

Justice John Paul Stevens was nominated by President Gerald Ford - a Republican.

Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony Kennedy were nominated by President Ronald Reagan - a Republican.

Justice David Souter was nominated by President George H.W. Bush - a Republican.

Two-thirds of the majority opinion were Republican-appointed!

"I believe this needs to be trumpeted," says Tim Farness, 1st District Representative of the Constitution Party of Wisconsin.

Indeed it does.

A 4-2 majority of the six Justices forming the Lawrence decision was Republican-appointed.

Republican President George W. Bush intends to run for a second term in 2004. Don't be too surprised when we start hearing the same-old song and dance all over again: "Elect Republicans so that we can defeat the Democratic agenda."

Mr. President: the Republican Party is the Democratic agenda.

I do NOT at this time advocate leaving the GOP for a third party.

But I fear the day is fast approaching when social conservatives and/or Christian conservatives will have no choice,

[Izzy Dunne]

Perhaps someone can explain to me:
1... Why is was better to have the police power to break into someone's house (on a false police report by a neighbor) than to let people be?
2... How many people abstain from this sort of behavior simply BECAUSE OF THE LAW AGAINST IT?
3... Do you really think that putting the two original sex partners in this case in prison (with umpteen thousand other male inmates) is likely to REDUCE their homosexual behavior?

[I_Love_My_Husband]

I don't think leaving right now is the answer as it will empower the Dems.

But it's a good article.

The SCOTUS is a very big disappointment to me.

[Polycarp]

You either out of willful ignorance or disengenuousness refuse to see what this court decision is truly about. Your points are mute. This isn't about privacy. SCOTUS just undermined every law in the country based upon public morals, and all you can do is repeat the same tired red herring argument? Pathetic.

[Antoninus]

I do NOT at this time advocate leaving the GOP for a third party.

Me neither. Not until we've had an honest go at ridding the party of the Homo-promo element. It's a heck of a lot easier and will take us less time to use a tool that's already there than to try to build a new one that, in the short run at least, would only elect pro-homo democrats.

In short, more Santorums, less Specters.

Speaking of which, does anyone know where Arlen MacSpecter's opponent falls on the "gay marriage" issue? You can bet Arlen's in favor (even if not publicly) thanks to Scottish law.

[TheCrusader]

Great article. This is why I voted for Pat Buchanan. He's not always right, but you know who he is, and you get what you vote for with men like him. What we need right now is Federal Legislation to counteract this devious Supreme Court decision. And if they should overthrow that with a declaration that the legislation is unConstitutional, then we need a Constitutional Amendment defining American marriage as a legal union between one man and one woman. Christians are losing a lot of ground in the U.S., and it's mainly because we don't unite and fight this crap.

[ExSoldier]

This has nothing to do with the GOP. Ahem, ~adjusts tin foil hat, flips switch so that lights blink and funny little prop spins~ THIS is all about the New World Order and globalism. Reagan wasn't a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, but his VP and future President, HW Bush, was a former director of CFR as was a majority of the Reagan cabinet. Sandra Day O'Connor is CFR so is Souter, Ginsberg and Kennedy. ONE MORE CFR Justice on the High Court and you can kiss liberty and the Constitution goodbye!

GW Bush is not CFR but again, the majority of his cabinet are members. You want to know more about this looming threat to our freedom? Read these books available from American Opinion Book services at http://www.jbs.org Shadows of Power by James Perloff and Global Tyranny: Step by Step and I forget the author, just now.

Every four years without fail, Christians are bamboozled into believing that their beloved Republican Party will restore this nation to its Christian heritage.

Ain't gonna happen.

The majority of people in this country do not wish to live under a theocracy. The Republicans know this.

If the Republicans ran under a platform of "restoring this nation to its Christian heritage" they would not win many elections --not the ones that count, anyways.

[onedoug]

As the ancient Hebraic channeling of male sexuality into heterosexual marriage was the anchor of Western civilization, so that chain becomes ever more thoroughly broken.

[squidly]

Third parties are pointless, useless, and self defeating. A conservative 3rd party only serves to get the Rats elected, likewise a liberal 3rd party (Nader), only serves to get the GOP in power.
Sure things are bad. But if you want them to go from bad to worse, go form your third party.

[Polycarp]

The "theocracy" cliche is worn out, OK?

[I_Love_My_Husband]

How do we rid the GOP of the pro-Homo element?

Reagan himself had tons of them (as it came out in those court cases) so did Bush Sr.

I'm all for this, but it seems like they are too numerous.

[Atlas Sneezed]

Every four years without fail, the Republican Party instructs [gun owners, low-tax advocates, etc.] to elect Republicans to office so that we can thwart the left wing agenda of the Democratic Party.

Every four years without fail, the Republican Establishment warns its rank and file never to vote for a third party candidate, lest we elect a Democrat by default by "giving him the election".

Every four years without fail, [gun owners, low-tax advocates, etc.] are told that third party candidates cannot win, and that a vote for a third party candidate is somehow a vote for the Democrat.

Every four years without fail, [gun owners, low-tax advocates, etc.] are bamboozled into believing that their beloved Republican Party will restore this nation to its [second amendment, low-tax] hertitage.

Every four years without fail, we are told that only a Republican can appoint a conservative Justice to the high bench so that liberalism can be stopped cold.

Without fail.

[Gun owners, low-tax advocates, etc.], wake up!

[Polycarp]

1) If the GOP continues coddling the homo agenda, I'll have no choice. 2)The GOP will most likely go neutral on abortion by 2008, pulling its pro-life plank. 3) Bush already caved on the biggest Second Amendment issue of his reign.

There's not much holding social conservatives in the GOP. If they go soft on guns, gays, and abortion, why the hell should I stay?

[rogerthedodger]

not to mention the strong marriage practices of the Germanic and Keltic peoples, which predated the introduction of Christianity in the West.

[Jim Noble]

What we need right now is Federal Legislation to counteract this devious Supreme Court decision. And if they should overthrow that with a declaration that the legislation is unConstitutional, then we need a Constitutional Amendment defining American marriage as a legal union between one man and one woman

All you need is for Congress to exercise its Article III, section 2 power to regulate and make exceptions to the appellate power of the Supreme Court.

Amend the Judiciary Act to read, "The appellate power of the Supreme Court does not extend to judicial review of state laws pertaining to marriage or sexual behavior"

Simple majorities, both Houses, no Presidential approval required-it should take a week.

[squidly]

"Why the hell should I stay?"

Because you can't win. It's the old half loaf being better than no loaf theory. Okay, maybe you're only getting a quarter loaf. That's still better than no loaf. Politics is now and always has been about choosing the lesser of two evils. I'm not particularly in love with the GOP myself, but it sure beats the alternative.

[rogerthedodger]

New medicare entitlement, a new gun ban, affirmative action ruling, sodomy ruling, $15 billion for AIDS in Africa, utter fear to push for confirmation of conservative jurists, won't defend the border, and (controversial on Freerepublic, I know) sponsoring undeclared wars in the Middle Eaast . .. .

Are we living under a conservative regime? I think not.

Why I should I vote for that again?

[marajade]

So now you are proposing that Presidents ask prospective judges nominated to the Supreme Court how they would intend to rule on sodomy laws? Get real...
