Or the Heller case about gun control. Or the Hobby Lobby decision concerning rights of conscience about contraception, abortion and other religious prerogatives... certain prerogatives, of course. <br /><br />After all, the Supreme Court's "definitive" pronouncements carry as far as Dred Scott and Plessy v. Ferguson. Those never changed. The Supreme Court hath spoken!<br /><br />I guess certain rights are safe. <br /><br />Does everybody like being ruled by Anthony Kennedy's subjective moralizing? That majority opinion for Obergfell v. Hodges was a frightfully embarrassing read. Anna Quindlen or MoDo could've rendered a more intellectually cohesive argument than that. We officially have a postmodern Supreme Court.

It is coercive and censorious. You MUST praise and glorify homos or else you will be destroyed in many places. <br /><br />The idea of 'collective guilt' and 'past sins' is nonsensical and irrational. Why don't blacks feel guilty for 10,000 yrs of slavery in Africa? Why target all whites for special 'guilt'?<br /><br />Marijuana isn't as harmful as some drugs, but much of pot culture is infantile, shallow, and flaky. Not a helpful attitude in encouraging maturity. <br /><br />Sensitivity must be reciprocal. All sides need to try. But blacks spread hate through rap music, illegals give Americans the middle finger, and homosexuals act like kings and queens over us 'serfs'. <br /><br />A more tolerant society is good. The West is intolerant with PC judgmentalism and censoriousness. It is 100x worse than McCarthyism. Even Eastwood's mild joke about Bruce Jenner has been censored.

Why isn't same family marriage allowed? <br /><br />I guess it's less about equality and more about privilege and power. Homosexuals have the backing of Wall Street, Las Vegas, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, Ivy League elite schools, top law firms, and etc. <br /><br />Polygamists and incestuous-sexuals have no such support. <br /><br />Then, this is more about 'marriage privilege' than 'marriage equality'. If marriage should be whatever individuals say it is, then, why aren't polygamists and incestuous-sexuals allowed to redefine marriage? Why do only homosexuals and trans-gender people get the privilege? <br /><br />In the end, it's about power and privilege, not about equality. <br /><br />That's just how the world works.<br /><br />The West is now degenerate, decadent, crass, materialistic, and sick. <br />Not worth emulating in anything but science, technology, and medicine. <br /><br />Seriously, is Barney Frank's anus really the sexual equal of a woman's vagina that produces life? If a fake penis of a trans-gender person the equal of a real penis of a man? <br />Is anal-penetrative 'sex' among men really of equal biological and moral value as real sex between men and women? <br /><br />Claiming that unequal things are equal is an evil. It's like saying 2 + 2 = 5 is equally valid as 2 + 2 = 4 in the name of Math Equality.<br />They might as well say fool's gold is as good as real gold in the name of Metal Equality. <br /><br />And why do super-rich people push the 'gay agenda'? It is to undermine and destroy real progressivism centered on economic issues. As gentrifying blue cities get richer and richer while everyone else grows poorer, the Liberal yuppies who make all the money want a 'progressivism' that is pro-rich. And it just so happens that narcissistic and vain homosexuals love to cater to the rich. <br /><br />No wonder the elites -- including Sheldon Adelson and Koch Brothers on the 'right' -- have been pushing the homo agenda. As progressivism turns more 'gay', it turns more pro-rich and pro-privilege. priss rulesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-6493132563418911092015-06-26T07:51:30.549-07:002015-06-26T07:51:30.549-07:00But, Cohen retorts that refugees the world over ar...<i>But, Cohen retorts that refugees the world over are flocking to Western Europe and America.</i><br /><br />Funny thing, after 3 lawless, outrageous decisions from the U.S. Supreme Court in a row, emigrating *to* Russia no longer looks so crazy ...JPL17noreply@blogger.com
