In the maps of old, when an area was unexplored and presumed dangerous, a mapmaker might pen the phrase "Here Be Dragons". This warned the explorer that possessed the map that the area had not been tamed, or often, even explored, and that there were uncharted dangers in that area.
The Supreme Court of the United States has struck the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) down. While individuals may have feelings one way or another about this decision, what should trouble everyone on both sides is the report that the majority of the Court has called the minority "enemies of the human race."
This is the most henious, troubling verbiage we have ever seen emenate from the Supreme Court. It smacks of dehumanization of the opposition. When any tyranny wants to eliminate or exterminate the opposition, it must start by dehumanizing them. So if a group of people who hold a given ideology are "enemies of the human race", then they clearly -- in the eyes of the people who so declare -- are not human. An enemy of the human race cannot BE human.
When the dehumanization of your opposition has penetrated your soul, you become capable of any act of violence, any act of oppression. History is riddled with examples of this sort of speech. What invariably follows are pograms and mass-executions, tortures and oppressions, and denials of basic liberties. That our very highest Court has engaged in this sort of verbal assault should make everyone -- regardless of their political persuasion -- quite alarmed.
We do not want to travel into this uncharted area. America has had its' flirtations with depredation of an entire race, nationality, or ideology... but never have we engaged in wholesale slaughter, and we have great regrets for the times we have oppressed an entire class of people. We should not want to embark on another oppression.
We are a divided nation, this much is certain. However, for either side to start speaking of the other as "enemies of the human race" starts us down a path to tyrannical terror and bloodshed of a Biblical scale. I recommend our side, conservatives, not engage in this sort of behavior, and I would ask that our opposition do the same.
Otherwise, as our forebearers once wrote: "Here Be Dragons".
Happy Trails, Jim. Say Hello for all of us not there, please.
Every time it happened it began by dehumanizing the oppressed. Romans tried to do it with the Christians. The white settlers did it with the Native Americans and Africans to make them slaves.
The third Reich did it with the Jews.... and so on.
The last part spoke how the left was referring to infants in the womb as Tissue, or fetus, etc..... everything but babies or infants.
Unfortunately, them Eakers are threatening to come out in a week or so.
Might be it'll get a bit more breaking in then, being a n00b and all....
Nah. I wish it were.
The shop had no Rugers when I went in.
It’s the Savage Arms version.
Gunner!
Buy lots of ammo whenever you can. Supreme Court dyke quota fillers Kaka and Wide Latina are trying to stir up the taker class.
Lord have mercy. I hadn’t realized till now you were without a proper spare. Sheeesh. That’s a real PITA.
I can vouch for your shootin’ expertise and also for LA’s traffic.
Just get to President Nixon’s Library safe. That’s all that matters.
XOXOXOXO
Justice Kennedy was the one who referred to the minority justices as “enemies of the human race.”
Stalinist, Marxist ideologies always devolve into eliminating their political opposition.
” what should trouble everyone on both sides is the report that the majority of the Court has called the minority “enemies of the human race.”
Huh. I thought the Nazis had given this strategy a bad name.
Evidently the leftists on the Court think it’s worth trying again.
So, in an attempt to stay on the topic of your original post, which I think is very important.
Enemies of the Human Race, is a bold statement to be sure, but to suggest THIS ruling and verbiage will embolden them and their cause to “dehumanize and exterminate” their opposition would require a wholly new and accepted narrative.
Your history is correct and very clear. It’s been done many many times. However, in the context of time and freedom, the ability to decide, which side any individual will fall into, hasn’t been tested in the US since the Civil War.
I agree that we are entering into a new paradigm.
I agree that what you and others are saying is very possible.
Is this the beginning of the end ?
Maybe.
Does this open the door for the possible tyranny you have described ?
WITHOUT A DOUBT !!!!!
People have an amazing ability to rationalize their behavior. This rationalization can and is motivated by any number of factors. Most people end up weighing their conscious against peer pressure.
Peer pressure, in our times and in this case is the fear of being called a racist or homophobe. This, oddly enough, cuts across both race and sexual preferences. It is a new paradigm.
The battle will be between the conscious of the individual and the collective conscious of social pressures to conform.
There have been extraordinary advances in the US for people to conform to the collective. It is virtually everywhere, and the narrative only grows louder as Gov’t, media and business trip over themselves to prove they are not racist or homophobic.
There will be a new definition of what it means to be “Human”. That MUST also include what that person believes.
Freedom for them, is freedom FROM US.
And they will kill you for that.
This was an error on the part of the Supream court—If not amended soon-folks are going to die. Churches shot up, and burned. Not Good. Un-people can be killed to bring about proper change. Not good! This may open some people to the dark side of their nature—like the IRS and the Tea Party.
Bring it on...our fearless leader has it covered! :)
LOVE that picture! JR owns it like a boss!
Darn shame about that tire! And that GPS babe...I think she must be a blonde...leading you all over the place! LOL!
Get there safe....wish we were all there with ya!
LOL @ the GPS gal... blonde of course!
We’re not there - and therein lies the problem!
We must hold a CA meet and soon, but CA is NOT gun friendly.
President Reagan’s Library is a must see, including his Air Force 1, and perhaps one day we can all do that and also find something else to do.... out in the desert!
WHAT?!
This is my current FB status:
Justice Anthony Kennedy has referred to people like me as an Enemy of Humanity. No, that's all wrong. Enemy of The World would be much more appropriate. As James 4:4 says, a friend of the world is the enemy of God. So be it.
Cunning, she is!
Smiling.... lots of desert!
