This is such a fantasticlly screwed up and conflated statement that I don't need to remark on the rest of your derivative comments.
The "natural law" that is the basis of "our Jurisprudence in this country" is the relationship between the sovereign people and their derived, dependent government, rather than the legitimacy of the people being derived from government grant. THAT is "Natural Rights."
What you Bible thumpers rarely grasp is what the Founders struggled so mightily to protect YOU from - the unintended legal consequences of your quest for religious control. Because (for example), if you take body ownership and relations away from adults and give it to state-mpowered religious authorities who present lists of acceptable behaviors, what you don't get - bu the LEFT DOES - is that it does NOT matter what is on your list. You get that? It doesn't MATTER. For tyranny to take root, the PRINCIPLE of the government seizing authority over body ownership is what matters. Form THAT you get socialism, communism, Hillarycare/Obamacare, school lockdown, TSA rapes, and everything else - and all they had to do is fire up your disgust at gays to get it!
The Left is the ENEMY. Why - did you ever ask yourself, WHY the Left always supports homosexuality? Do you actually believe it's because all Leftists are homosexual? NO! It's the PRINCIPLE of the loss of AUTONOMY they're after, so they support those you love to hate and loathe.
Homosexuals DON'T MATTER. What matters is the RELATIONSHIP between the government and the person. If you can't understand it - ask Hillary. She's VERY clear on the subject, and will gladly explain it to you, once she stops laughing her ass off.
“What you Bible thumpers rarely grasp....”
Anti-Christian, anti-family nonsense - you speak like a left wing demoncrate or an extreme libertarian. No one is advocating a theocracy. So, your arguement is agains a straw man.
Excellent and well said.
Strange argument to make when you consider the fact that the same Founders who fought against tyranny and big government also legislated against sodomy. Perhaps they didn’t understand that prohibiting “crimes against nature” violated the proper relationship between government and the people?
What they did understand - and what religiophobic “conservatives” fail to - is that the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God are inescapable. The same Natural Law that grants to mankind the rights to life, etc. and blesses nations which adhere to it, also destroys nations which rebel against it.
You think we can just pick and choose which parts of Natural Law to follow and which to reject, and still be safe from any consequences? Fighting against “socialism, communism, Hillarycare/Obamacare, school lockdown, TSA rapes, and everything else” while ignoring the wickedness running rampant is like thinking a wholesome meal will counter the effects of poison.
