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.

Pat, or anybody like him, won't get elected because people think he's a dinosaur. Too old fashioned.
The Republican party, in my opinion, will never come back to 'the right' and will keep moving more toward the left.
Just like our society.
Maybe some true conservatives will start running for office and give us the chance to vote for them? Not that there aren't some true conservatives, just not many.
The homosexuals themselves arranged the false call and then sodomized each other with the door either open or unlocked, specifically so the police would see them, arrest them, and have the case come to the Supreme Court.
2... How many people abstain from this sort of behavior simply BECAUSE OF THE LAW AGAINST IT?
If there are no laws against it, then it can be taught in schools as an alternative method of sex (it is already, and now there will be nothing to stop it) and being publicly accepted will promote it among impressionable youth.
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?\
They shouldn't be put into prison. They should be publicly flogged. Cheap, over soon, they can learn their lesson quickly, and public shame is a great teacher and preventive.
I'm curious about the reference to Scottish law - I'm not very familiar with Specter, what little I've heard about him I didn't like much.
That's not why they decided for sodomy. If that was it, it would be easy to change any sodomy law that is sex-specific to sodomy in general. Which would be better anyway. But they decided on the privacy issue, so there's no going back (no pun intended).
How about the intrusion on the State of Texas - from the federal government? How about if the State of Texas - or some other State - has a law stating that the age of consent for sexual relations is 16, and the 9 justices say, No, it has to be 12, like in the Netherlands? Do you call that freedom, or government intrusion?
You make it sound as though he (and many others) are in a snit because of some trifling annoyance. I have read many of your posts before, and for some reason you vehemently support homosexuality.
At least honest homo-promoters are jubilant, seeing that this decision is a major victory for their perverted agenda to change the US into a pan-sexual and homosexual whorehouse.
The liberal-tarians say that if each individual lives a moral life, if they so choose, what everyone else does is none of anyone's business. My argument is that if one is forced to live in a landfill, no matter how clean you keep your house the stench and rats will be everywhere.
Christian and Jewish and Buddhist and Hindu and Sikh and Muslim and Jain and Parsee as well and common sense, natural law and public health issues.
You're kidding, right?
If you think this, then you haven't read my posts.
Does that include the freedom to sodomize a 14-year-old boy?
If you can read the platform of the Constitution party and come to the conclusion that they believe that there should be no laws against prostitution, sodomy, et al then you are willfully and seriously delusional. Any further attempt to reason with you is simply a waste of precious time. Good day.
There ARE conservatives who are not Christian.
Total agreement here.
