You, my friend, are not alone. In thoughts or in spirit.

Yeah, I hear ya. I admit I'm more into the libertarian wing (I'm a Barry Goldwater type although I am pro-life), I mean, I don't care who marries who as long as both or all parties are at or above the age of consent. They can just make a contract in a civil case and find some church or whatever to marry them. I find the Obamacare ruling a little more troubling although the same sex marriage ruling I also see as bad law too. I did watch a good episode of "Welcome Back Kotter" Thursday night and the old, crotchy vice Principal Woodman commented on the SCOTUS porn decision at the time (this was 1977) when Epstein mentioned about community standards and Woodman countered, "what do 9 old men know about porn anyway?" The Sweathogs seem to agree. Not take porn and replace it with a lot of stuff and I say the same thing. I just find it ironic at the timing of the episode. I often ask myself, "What do these 9 old people know anyway?" Myself, if I had to make a ruling, I would say, "it is a State issue and/or let the people themselves decide."

I have gay friends, I have no problem if they marry. Hey go for it, knock yourselves out, you even have my blessing, I'm sure for many years this has gone on law or no law. What scares me is the SCOTUS decision is bad law where it could be used to force bakers to bake a cake even if it is against their religion or conscience to do it. People should not be forced to do anything against their beliefs, even if we disagree with it. What's next, forcing Quakers or Amish to serve in the infantry? America is, or was, a place where everyone has diverse opinions and practices where as long as we do not infringe on another or on society, we are free to do what we like and believe what we like. We are losing that. I have had trouble sleeping myself, even my left eye twitches, I'm up now.

I think the seeds have been planted long ago, some say as far back as Lincoln. Well, I think really, the big push in what we have now is in another bad law. The Civil Rights Acts, especially 1964. Yeap, I think they should have never been voted in. Same thing with the 14th, 15th, 16 and 17th Amendments, I digress and getting back to the point, because of the Civil Rights laws, it has given a license to everyone with a grievance real or perceived a way to get what they want if they cry like a baby and whine like a bad alternator bearing, They would cry, "you're violating my civil rights." Once that is said, then society and us must give in. It is the tool of bullies. No one should be bullied, be they Christian, Jew, gay, anything. I was bullied as a kid, being a typical space/ham radio geek with Asperger's. It isn't pleasant.

Ironically, I think voting in the Civil Rights Acts started this nation down the road where we will tear apart. Many times, I often said, it is like a Zen Buddhist thing where if you push for one thing hard all you do is achieve the opposite in spades. We are and will suffer for this, we seem to be in 1859 America in a 1938 world. We have the likes of Iran, the North Koreans, ISIS/ISIL (or whatever they call themselves this month) and so forth.

If I could go back in time, I'd do two things I know of, one stop the development of The Pill and two, somehow stop the Civil Rights Acts.

If I win the powerball for a huge amount of money, I'd find a ghost town somewhere and look for libertarians and conservatives who are sick of all of this to come and live there. We'd have out own radio station, TV station, shortwave station, police and even militia. We could set up our own shops, business and industry. We have our own schools and so forth. I remember seeing an old movie on ABC where Brian Keith played a multi-millionaire who founded his own town to give people a second chance who need it, I think we all need a place like this now.

I feel like I live in an alien land.

Well said my FRiend!

My brother & I were having this exact conversation last night.

Ted Cruz is also the first candidate I’ve ever donated to and offered my support.

[Alamo-Girl]

Beautifully and truly said, dear Windflier! Thank you!

[bgill]

Sad to say your teenagers will never understand what America used to be. I don’t know that she will ever return as she once was.

Great post my Brother.

I have been quiet as well. Knowing a storm is coming.

The two rulings of the black robed thugs and the fiasco drummed up by the media over the Stars and Bars flag is what I am referring tow are the leading winds of the continuing storm.

We cannot survive a judicial system that makes the laws they enforce. This must be fixed

Also, I believe an election of even a stalwart President like Ted Cruz could not right this ship without some bloodshed of miscreants that are determined to ruin this country

Planning, prepping and practicing. My three “Ps”.

As you know, I’m not far from you so that’s two of us against Obamanation and his minions - we will have a target rich environment. You are a fine man, I’m glad I know you.

I live in Washington State, my vote rarely counts.
The last time my vote counted for President was in 1984.

I trust God and I refuse to be disheartened but choose to live each day to fight against evil on the personal level.

My former Church was destroyed by the Gaystapo and the one we have now, will soon be attacked. It is the truth and, it has been expected.

Faith in God is all the power we actually need, and our peace is strengthened by the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ.

Have peace, do not be driven down by satanic forces as You live each minute be conscious about what is going around you and do every thing you can to to counter Satan and give glory to God.

If you are hated and persecuted by evil it reveals your ownership by God in Jesus Christ, I feel blessed today because of this.

I think you freepers in Texas are just not use to this type of frustration. This is that moment when we have all become “those people over there who live in tyranny in a blue state”. Welcome to the club, and “Remember the Alamo” because we need your Texan style grit.
