Supreme Court strikes down Defense of Marriage Act provision

[J P Sousa]

Really?  Wow.  No I don't have AFN at my off post house so I can't see FNC.

It's not rocket science though really.  If you know Liberals and what their end game is its easy to predict their next move.

He was actually on FBN talking about all the NEW claims for social security and other federal benefits via gay "spouses".

If they get married in one state that allows gay marriage.... they can move to one that does not allow gay marriage and the flood gates open.

Dana Loesch on twitter is telling everyone far and wide that this was a Dem initiative to grow big gov't.  She remembers well, because at the time she was a demwit handing out pamphlets about it.  So she gets nasty tweets back, "ugly bitch" which she then RT'd.  

That's where I got the info for the roll call. She's a smart cookie.

The Department of Defense will immediately begin the process of making benefits available to all military spouses.

ETA: This on the same day that the Army announces they're cutting 10 additional BCT's to save $$$.

Well, with this decision, it is now a right.  You can now have more than 1 wife, even marry your daughter and/or son, maybe your dog Pokey can be your spouse.  Probably the biggest winners are NAMBLA.  Not opinion, 100% grade A fact.  Marrying goats, cows, even the dead is legal.  Fact!!!!

I don't agree with the ruling; but I believe that is just as much an over reaction as the Dem's reaction to the part of the VRA being voted down yesterday.

Apples and oranges.  People are right to be outraged over this ruling today.

We just let 3.8% of the U.S. population dictate to the majority what "normal" looks like.

Section 4 of the VRA getting shot down does just the opposite.  No longer can a vocal minority who needed this 50 years ago dictate to and jerk around the majority in an era when we've elected a black man President two times by a healthy majority.

I understand that; but to hear some on the Left, the VRA ruling meant that the South was going to put guards at the polls to keep blacks from voting....over reaction.

That's just the professional race pimps and the White Guilt crowd pissed that they don't have a leg to stand on anymore. They've had their pulpit yanked out from under them.

A good friend of mine became a pastor. We discussed this issue some years ago.

He said a number of pastors in his city agree that if the govt forced churches to marry same sex couples, then the churches would declare they would no longer perform marriages. Marriage would be civil only.

The church would then perform a "blessing,"  it would look like a marriage. feel like a marriage, have all the trappings of a marriage...BUT it would be open only to church members-not to people walking in off the street. further the church would have the freedom not to give a "blessing to anyone who did not meet the churchs rigorous standards.
--since a "blessing" is a religious only event, the govt could not do a thing about it.

Next up...I predict the Military will officially recognize gay marriage and force those states that don't recognize gay marriage to do just that and the Libs will get via brute force what they couldn't get otherwise.  Federal recognition of gay marriage across the entire country.

You didn't have to wait long.  Hagel was all over this shit.

Yup...almost like they knew before it was announced what the decision would be.

A quote from me on my other forum...


"Libs over the years have perfected some very effective strategies. One of which is to make conservatives fight a multi front war.


Many of the fronts they attack on are not earth shattering, and they do that purposely. The next part of the strategy is what has worked so well for the libs, they propagandize issues to be "not important" to lull conservatives into marshalling their forces in other areas.


Then when the libs sense weakness they press, and like in this case they break through on that front and escalate that attack into a flank attack on another front.


That's why conservatives should never acquiesce to anything that libs want."

Well, I'm done with voting in California and in any other elections for that matter. It's a waste of my time since the State and Federal governments just told me my vote doesn't count. I'm going to the Registrar of Voters of my county and requesting to have my name removed from the voter list. After that any election material I receive will be marked "Return to Sender" and placed on the mailbox.

I understand your frustration Zath...but that's playing right into the Liberals hands.  That's what they wnt you to do.

And you just can't...

Conservatives are in pain now. It seems society is deaf to the conservative clarion call. But what works best for society, what is good, truthful, moral and ethical is on the side of the conservative. The success the libs are having now cannot be sustained.

Zath, Prop 8 is still the law of the land in California. The people have it right, even if the government doesn't.

So, you're moving out of blue state hell then? Because "taking your ball and going home" is definitely not the way to be heard.

Hard to be heard when nobody in this state gives a **** about what I have to say.

Is it? Is it really the law of the land when the state government refuses to do their duty and defend it in a court of law? Sorry but when you have officials that shirk their duties just because they don't like the law are telling the people who voted the proposition into law that their vote means nothing then voting itself is a waste of time. Until we get a viable opposition party here in California, my time is better spent on things other than voting.
