The ancient Greeks and Romans thought they were on the “right” side of history. History has proved otherwise.
Yeah, the poor Greeks and Romans, history outran them, as it will outrun us, no matter what we do.
however, Roman law and institutions pervades the modern world
Note also that the homosexually free culture of Greece still did not have any homosexual marriage
“wrong side of history!” memes are like the race card for the left. They love to say it in order to marginalize the opponents of their agenda, but like the author intelligenetly states, the left believed this about virtually everything they have ever tried to do. “Unions are the future! Conservatives are on the wrong side of history!” Well, now unions are biting the dust all across the country. This is simply Alinsky writ large.
They compare it to the interracial marriage issue, that the history aspect is the same, when it is completely different. Bans on interracial marriage were a product of Darwinian evolutionary theory and the insane eugenics craze of his proteges. They were a flash in the pan as far as history goes. Whereas same sex marriage has never in the history of civilization been legal even during times of maximum acceptance of sodomy (see ancient Greece and Rome). Over 2000 years and not one grain of this concept anywhere on the globe. That tells you that its odds of surviving the exceedingly long tide of ‘history’ are practically nil.
And as I have often said, if I need be on the ‘wrong side of history’ to be on the right side of eternity, then so be it. History is a product of man. Eternity is a product of God.
Yes, but Jesus is the King of History and he might have a few things to say to those judges overturning the will of the people.
There is no “side” of history. These people are knuckleheads.
They use marriage as a veil for sodomy.
There is no loss of freedom involved.
Juvenal called it:
"I have a ceremony to attend," quoth one, "at dawn to-morrow, in the Quirinal valley." "What is the occasion?" "No need to ask: a friend is taking to himself a husband; quite a small affair." Yes, and if we only live long enough, we shall see these things done openly: people will wish to see them reported among the news of the day.
Satire II, circa 100 AD
We are truly living amongst flaming lunatics.... God help us and our beloved USA.... Semper Fi bro....
I still think this gigantic campaign for gay marriage is engineered in the shadows by divorce lawyers. Who wouldn’t want such a massive increase in their customer base? And I’m actually sort of serious about that. Always follow the money.
I was in the 2nd United States Infantry Division, not the 2nd Marine Corps Infantry Division, but my father was an 0699 and served in World War II, Korea and Vietnam, so I'll say "Semper Fi" back at you. Did you know that the 2ID is the only Army division that has been commanded by and included members of the Marine Corps at one time?
No,,,, I didn’t bro. thank you for the info. It’s strange,,,, I went from Paris Island right to “Dugway” when they found out I was a fourth generation gun/bulletsmith. Dugway is an Army installation....
Yes, Dugway Proving Grounds, in Utah. I knew a retired female Master Sergeant who was stationed there as a counterintelligence agent.
Your well informed my friend. That area has quite “the history” from what we were told when we arrived in the summer of “65”. We, I and a bunch of other door gunners were there to get “familiarized with GE’s great gift to us,,,, “the mini-gun” Absolute awesome weapon.
We no longer have free government. We are not a free people. Our government is arbitrary. When one man lives at the will of another, that man is a slave.
No election can reverse eighty years of anti-constitutional court decisions. Elections increasingly serve to determine who will be our masters.
There is little time.
Electorate: All the people in a country or area who are entitled to vote in an election.
“Who are entitled” is the key so the story is misleading to begin with. Based on the story out of 100% of the people entitled to vote, voted which is BS. A small number of folks entitled to vote actually voted and out of that small percentage XX% voted for.
