Things are about to get weird. After months of hearing from conservatives and fundamentalists about how they were going to secede, leave the country, or burn themselves in effigy over same-sex marriage, the day has arrived. The Supreme Court has rendered their decision in a 5-4 ruling that same-sex marriage is to be law of the land.
As a result of this ruling, same-sex couples have the constitutional right to marry, and states cannot take that right away from them. The decision requires all 50 states to recognize all legally performed marriages from all jurisdictions, and to extend marriage to same-sex couples. In short, the court's decision requires all states to treat marriages of same-sex couples exactly as they treat marriages of different-sex couples.

Yeah, a lot like that. Lot of places in Asia.
The big area now seems to be Central America (ironic aint it?)
Costa Rica has been the hot spot for 25 years. Panama strong now. Nicaragua coming on.. as are certain hot spots in Mexico. Also Ecuador, Colombia. Some other areas too...that’s off top of my head.

Not a Republican and NOT going anywhere. The coming implosion will be too entertaining to miss.
I fear for my Republic! I fear that we are going the way of ALL the other great Civilizations of the past, the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Incas, Maya, just to name a few. They too came apart from the inside out & were taken over by a greater outside force/s. When do our so called leaders start declaring themselves above the law, their protection security staff will start wearing purple so we will know who their are, & we cal tell them apart from the rest of the so called internal security forces. We already have to pay tribute at least once a year to them who live apart from us peasants. And let us NOT forget what is taken from us when we purchase anything that we need for our daily lives.
Then we grew up learning that our causes would be heard in the fair & UNbiased courts, & that the so called judges would listen to both sides & also a jury of our peers our listen in and make their decisions heard before all. But the “Will of the People” was the most important & the last word on any subject. But now all it takes is 1 black robed priest [term from the days of old when they were the judges for the elite] to tell us on how the king/s & emperors want us to live.
The Country that I swore an oath to protect from all enemies both forgin & domestic NO longer stands! And it is every person for themselves [or with their family] It is ok to rape, rob, burn, or destroy anything you want all in the name of something, anything you want. As long as you can say that you were oppressed in some way.
So now I am calling for the implementation of Paragraph 2 of the Declaration of Independence;
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States”
And that we hang every person who has helped cause these problems! Because tempers are short & memories are long. There will be NO appeal or reprieve, or pardon or parole, the judgment will be final! The ship of state is about to be righted & probably be the Veterans who will be the ones who right it, because we can NO longer trust those who make the laws or enforce them!
Will I be branded a traitor to the current regime? I know I will be. Will I be ridiculed, tormented, laughed at, mocked, more than likely. But to those of you who held make this mess of our country, I damn you ALL to the lowest reaches of the ancient Greek hells!
There will be a day of reckoning & you are not gonna like what you are going to get, whether in this life or the next! This I swear, before All Mighty GOD in Heaven.
I don’t have to go anywhere - this country is leaving me.
Isn’t that the truth. Like I need an emetic. I monitor one lefty forum (that’s all I can stand) & it ain’t HuffPo. Why give them the clicks?
“I’m not leaving $hit. I’m waiting for the war to start.”
Same here, buddy, same here!
Let them have their butt fests. I’ll teach my grandchildren better.
"I love the Union and the Constitution, but I would rather leave the Union with the Constitution than remain in the Union without it."
IIRC, Louisiana recently considered dropping formal recognition/licensing/sanctioning of “marriage” entirely. Might more states consider & follow thru, considering the dilution of the purpose for incentivizing marriage for the purpose of facilitating procreation by providing legal benefits for those committed to supporting their offspring? The institution existed for a reason; if just anyone can enter therein even without any chance whatsoever of the state benefiting from the union (in the form of new taxpayers), then why would states continue to recognize & promote it?
Let’s get it on. I ain’t gettin’ any younger.
I feel all dirty when leftists project their insanity upon me. Do they really wish to start something that they are ill prepared to face?
Maybe that’s why the timing for the overnight elimination of Confederate flags - right before today.
“Let’s get it on. I ain’t gettin’ any younger.”
Damn straight! I want a life after to enjoy the results. They can’t win a fight. They are too mentally ill, cowardly, and stupid.
Bingo.
No surrender.
I surely haven’t got ready just to leave.
Not that there's anything wrong with violence, per se.
Roberts said that the SC had no power to make law one day after he did that very thing with Obamacare.
Not going anywhere. However, I am not contributing one more cent to my enslavement. They can go find some other productive sucker to fund their insanity.
Definitely a Romans 1:20+ moment.
Is this true? I can't find the word marriage in the constitution.
Can federal law grant constitutional rights to individuals?
Any legal experts out there that can clarify?
