It’s been fun (for values of “fun”) watching how the last shreds of the Republic have been burned to ashes, then pissed upon by the new Imperial Government in Washington DC, hasn’t it?
We mean, first we get the unelected Black Robed Tyrants deciding that when ObongoCare says “subsidies are only for states with ObamaExchanges”, it doesn’t actually mean “subsidies are only for states with ObamaExchanges”, but “subsidies are for all states.”
Why? Because the Supreme “Court” says so, that’s why. They alone know what the legislature really meant when they wrote a law, you see, and it is up to them to tell us unwashed serfs what that is, even when what they “meant” (as per a handful of unelected fascists) is exactly the opposite of what they wrote and passed as a law.
And there is fuck all you can do about it, peasant. Because those elite patricians of SCOTUS can’t be unelected and, more importantly, they’re the only “coequal” branch of governments whose diktats can’t be overruled. The other, not quite as “coequal”, branches don’t have that luxury. And their diktats, unlike mere laws passed by elected representatives of the people they rule over, stand forever, because whenever another case comes up, stare decisis, that abortion of a “principle”, demands that a decision, however ancient, must still be adhered to.
Fun having a Republic, wasn’t it? We must remember to tell our children and grandchildren of it when they get old enough to not believe a word of what we’re saying.
Oh, and how about the same sex marriage diktat? That was fun too, wasn’t it? Now gays not only can “marry”, they have a RIGHT to marry, no matter what you idiot peasants say. Yet another SCOTUS-invented right nowhere to be found in the Constitution.
Next up: They also have a RIGHT to be married in your church. And to order you to bake them a cake. Mandatory fellatio will come at a date to be determined. We’re only half joking about that last one.
So, er, goodbye to freedom of religion as well. Oh sure, you can still believe in what you want, but you no longer have a right to follow your religious conscience (right actually defined in the Constitution) if it might override gays’ right to tell you to shut up and do as you’re told (right NOT ANYWHERE mentioned, hinted at or penumbraed from emanations in the Constitution).
So tell us again how just holding our nose and voting for Jeb in 2016 is going to fix all of this, huh?
Thatisall.
I just read something that the State AG of Texas told the various clerks they can refuse to issue Homosexual’s marriage certificates on religious grounds. I’ve heard rumors that the homosexuals are starting to look at forcing churches to marry them. That will cause violence. Priests, Rabbi’s, Ministers might be big on turning the other cheek, but I doubt many… Read more »
It was a good run while it lasted. Yep. DC has given me a few too many ‘and the horse you rode in on’ moments in the last week or so.
Quite frankly, I do not think that they understand consequences. If they blatantly are going to rub our noses in the fact that the “Rule of Law” is dead and now flout their “Rule however the fuck I want depending on my mood at the moment”, well, that clearly establishes that there is no reason to follow ANY “law”, since… Read more »
It’s not that priests and pastors will be hauled off in cuffs – it’s that individually-targeted churches will have their assets (i.e. buildings) confiscated when they can’t pay the lawsuits and that churches, synagogues, etc. across the board will have their tax-exempt status removed. That’s the goal, anyway. A columnist in Time magazine (which is a helluva lot more mainstream… Read more »
I’m suing Kate Upton. I have the RIGHT to marry, so she’s violating my Civil Rights by not letting me marry her and her gigantic fun-bags. And Zero better light up the White House on the wedding night, because otherwise, H8R you guys.
Most of the churches and synagogues have been sapped and drained by the Leftist infiltration — the antisocial injustice wankers have turned the sermons into leftwing drivel and diatribes for the most part. The Reformed synagogues joke that they’re “the Democratic Party at prayer.” Don’t look for the institutions to withstand this assault. If they were still true Christians and… Read more »
As the “Great Helmsman” said, Political power grows from the barrel of a gun. Our enemies have the absolute right to receive what passes our muzzles.
Tallulah @7.
I’m kinda non-denominational myself. But this I’ll fight for. Liberty or death.
MY OFFICIAL PERSONAL LIFE-GOVERNING POLICY GONG FORWARD:
NOTHING OR NOBODY WITH A ‘D’ ATTACHED TO IT EVER , FOREVER, EVER AGAIN.
NO CONSIDERATION, NO DEBATE, NO COMPASSION, NO CONVERSATION, NO RESPECT,
NO PERSONHOOD. NO LOVE NOR CHARITY.
AS TOM CORLEONE SAID , IT WILL BE LIKE THEY NEVER EXISTED.
LC Gregory says: It’s not that priests and pastors will be hauled off in cuffs – it’s that individually-targeted churches will have their assets (i.e. buildings) confiscated when they can’t pay the lawsuits and that churches, synagogues, etc. across the board will have their tax-exempt status removed. I see a sudden rise in Church Burnings. . . of confiscated churches.… Read more »

Priests, Rabbis, Ministers are big on turning the other cheek.
The parishioners?
Not so much.
I see lots lawyers and plaintiffs becoming feather covered Christmas tree ornaments.
“Next up: They also have a RIGHT to be married in your church. And to order you to bake them a cake.” Only a true fool would ever force someone to be compelled to prepare food for them against the preparer’s will, under penalty of fine or imprisonment. They’d get their cake, but eventually someone would be forced to ponder… Read more »
Ace of Spades has an excellent summation on the real threat posed by the Supreme Court’s recent conduct. It is far deeper than just suing Christian churches out of existence.
Alrighty, let’s try this again.

The Leftists’ gang rape of Christians and America continues. Rush was asking why more people aren’t openly rebelling against the trashing and burning of everything we hold dear — I say people are justifiably scared shitless of the LEFTWING LYNCH MOB. They see how the LEFTWING LYNCH MOB is attacking across the board, ruining people’s lives, bankrupting them, swarming them… Read more »

That’s not always an advantage – Bastogne and Rorke’s Drift come to mind
I’m going to hijack the topic. A true hero passed away the other day. Sir Nicholas Winton, who saved the lives of over 600 Jewish children just prior to WW2, passed away in England. He was 106.
Please pause in your remarks and reflect on the passing of a truly great man.
