GOP Groups to Fellow Republicans: Don't Fight the Supreme Court on Gay Marriage
National Journal ^ | June 24, 2015 | Emma Roller

Republican groups that support same-sex marriage want to send a message to their party's voters and candidates: We are not an anomaly.

Two right-leaning groups—American Unity Fund and Project Right Side—are releasing a poll that they say shows that most voters support gay marriage, and a higher proportion of Republicans support gay marriage than measured before.

​The poll surveyed 2,000 registered voters nationally by phone this month, including 798 Republican and lean-Republican voters, along with 500 voters in the early primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina.

The poll found that 57 percent of all registered voters favor legalizing gay marriage, and 59 percent of voters said they would accept the Supreme Court's forthcoming decision on same-sex marriage as the law of the land, even if that means accepting legal same-sex marriage nationwide. Of Republican voters surveyed, just 39 percent favor legalization, and 44 percent said they would accept the Supreme Court's ruling.

I will never remain silent. I will never condone evil. I will never acquiesce. I will continue to speak, if necessary from the corner of the crowd, from prison, from the grave. I will never yield...not though all the stars fall from the heavens and all the mountains dissolve into the sea. Never.

Never.

People will be upset about the upcoming Supreme Court ruling on homosexual marriage, in which the Supreme Court will almost certainly legalize homosexual marriage across the land. However, the inevitability of this ruling occurred many years ago and is not so much the fault of liberal activists but of the millions of so-called conservatives who were conscientious objectors in the culture war. Once the Supreme Court ruled in Lawrence vs. Texas in 2003 legalizing homosexuality throughout the United States, the culture war was basically over. (Yet many so-called conservatives still did not realize—or denied—that such a war was actually occurring.)

After Lawrence v. Texas we went from “We just want the right to be with a dying loved one in the hospital” to people of conscience being fined, fired, not allowed to graduate from college, and even jailed for merely stating their belief that homosexuality is wrong. (Many, with their heads in the sand, still don’t even realize that this is happening in growing numbers.)

Yet homosexuality is not the real issue. It is merely this generation’s tip of the spear in a war against God. Each generation or time will have it’s own issues. For each issue and time people decide whether they will be for God, against God, or merely try to sit on the sidelines. Those of the third group are by far the most evil.

Yeah, accept your status as a well-paid member of a debating and rubber stamp society. The benefits are even more awesome.

Whittaker Chambers said when he left the Communist Party to become a conservative he was switching from the winning to the losing side.

He was right.

GOP Groups to Fellow Republicans: Don't Fight

The GOP's battle cry.

Who needs these people and this party. They're/its utterly worthless.

So put it on the ballots.

Even before today’s ruling, I was (and am) convinced SCOTUS will rule in favor of the gays. I will be very surprised (pleasantly) if they don’t.

There comes a time when the only moral place to move is toward the sound of the guns.

I will always love its history, tradition & heritage.

I still love half of it. The other half I hold in complete and utter contempt.

I will never stop fighting evil. And that is what this grotesque deviancy is. If America itself succumbs to this evil, then America itself becomes expendable.
