It is another reminder that the perception that we have a representative government is an illusion and that our true form of government is oligarchy. It is another case in which the American Judiciary proceeded according to the personal philosophical outlooks of a majority of nine people on the High Council rather than according to an honest effort to apply Constitutional language according to how it was understood/intended by those who crafted and ratified it. Another reminder that we are not governed by the Constitution.
And it portends massive denial of religious liberty. If the free exercise of religion is not the the first principle underpinning the establishment of this nation it's up there among the top two. Now we are going to have people whose religion tells them that homosexuality is sinful told that they either have to be associated with sinful activity or give up the livelihoods they would like to pursue.
If you tell somebody that, for instance, they have to allow homosexual marriages on their property or they can't be in the business of allowing marriages on their property when they consider homosexual marriages to be sinful you are denying them the free exercise of religion.
We actually have a critical mass of people in this country who think that a person's "right" to force someone else to engage in commerce with them trumps the fundamental right to the free exercise of religion. And we have a Judiciary that will go along with that nonsense.
This nation has become completely twisted. It has been in a downward spiral of degradation for some time and this is just another milestone along the path to the ash heap.
The good news is John you'll be dead soon right..?
(relatively speaking)
Each generation of American people get to build their own country
yours and mine is nearing its end
Your favorite type of brain washing has been trumped by somebody else's favorite type
thus the end of civilization looms in the near future
it feels ominous... Satan's clouds gathering in the distance
hell is just moments from being unleashed
There is that dramatic enough for you..?
Crazy damn kids and their internet porn and gay sex
