I was (and
am) greatly dismayed to learn of yesterday’s 5-4 Supreme Court Decision to
interpret the Constitution of the United States of America to allow that
same-gender marriage be recognized as a fundamental ‘right’ and consequently, in
application, the law of the land. The pillars are being cut out from under us. And
yet I am not surprised.
I applaud
the courageous and principled dissenting four: Chief Justice Roberts and
Justices Scalia, Thomas, and Alito.
The worst news of a national social nature
that I heard in my lifetime was the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision of 1973
permitting elective abortions. In this
infamous decision the convenience of
the mother (as a consequence of an immoral and/or shortsighted act in almost
every case) was bequeathed the ‘right’ to prevail over the defenseless murder
of the unborn child she was carrying. Since then millions of ‘legal’ murders have
been carried out.
In that terribly
immoral court decision I applaud the courageous dissenting decisions of
justices White and Rehnquist.
The crux in
both the 1973 and the 2015 court decisions was the prevailing attitude that wishes trump morality—even the sanctity
of life or the sanctity of the historicity of the institution that provides for,
promotes and protects life. It is that
in this decision, these ‘L, G (and I guess B, T, and Q’) people have a ‘right’
to marry and that their behavior somehow deserves ‘dignity,’ in Justice Kennedy’s
words. And that there exists a ‘right,’ based on the same specious grounds, for the woman to abort a fetus as in the
1973 opinion.
This decision
also has the potential to compromise—in the arrogance of the prevailing five
justices’ minds—even the 1st Amendment to the Constitution. I am
sure that people with religious scruples will be further and greatly challenged
in future months and years their historical positions by the godless in their
insolence.
Huge battles
loom as this decision will further polarize a nation that is becoming less and
less ‘united.’ How can people not see
this?
How can the
Supreme Court, who Americans socially invest with an assumption that these nine
people represent the wisest among us, be so shortsighted as to not see what is
being done to this erstwhile “. . .one nation under God. . .” in the interest
of “liberty. . . for all.” Shall we also
protect and invest with statutory ‘dignity’ even marriages of women or men to
animals—or to children or children to children? Or conjure up even more ‘rights’
to convicted criminals in their incarceration?
It is not as
absurd as it sounds. Didn’t the absurd
and outrageous score a victory today in the war on the souls of men? Prepare to be sickened by the celebrations of ‘gay
pride’ that are now going on and look carefully at the opposition you will see
celebrating in the streets. The war will
continue.
