What really happened this week?

The Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage is all over the news, all over social media, all over  everywhere.

And people's opinions run the gamut from happy to angry to everything in between.

Most folks seem to think it was either a great victory for equality or a great loss for morality.

But no one seems to understand what really happened.

The Supreme Court this week didn't strike a blow to morality.

 They didn't stand up for equal rights.

What the Supreme Court did this week was to take a giant chunk out of  our Constitutional Rights & bring us one step closer to losing the freedom that this country was founded on.

Oh she's just being silly. She's just mad because she doesn't agree with the ruling.

It shouldn't matter if you agree with the ruling or not, you should be APPALLED at the usurpation of our rights.

Someone actually made this comment on the subject: "the people have spoken" and that is just the problem.

The people did speak & vote & they were told essentially "shut up & sit down. We know better than you."

You see, over the last few years, each state has voted on the gay marriage issue. And, the over whelming majority of the states voted "no."

That should be the end of the story right there because this is, first & foremost, a states rights issue.

But the Supreme Court decided that the individual states of this great country are children.

Children who do not know what they really want  & who need a big strong grown up (like the Federal Government) to tell them what to do for their own good.

What happened this week was about undermining states rights

What happened this week was about taking away our ability to decide what & how & when we want to live.

What happened this week was that this great country took a giant step backwards from a republic (and we are indeed a republic people NOT a democracy) & back towards being a monarchy.

What happened this week was that the Supreme Court set a precedent.

A precedent that the Federal Government has the RIGHT to over rule States Rights & the RIGHTS of THE PEOPLE.

What happened this week was that we were so busy worrying about which side we were on, the Supreme Court screwed us all.

You may say, I don't care. I still like the decision, so I'm okay with all of it.

What happens when you don't agree with the decision?

What happens when it sets a precedent that infringes on YOUR rights?

 What happens when you remember that you are an American & you have certain inalienable rights which you wish to practice but OOPS!  the Supreme Court decided you really didn't want those rights even though you said you did...

What happened this week was indeed historic but not in the way so many seem to think.

I'll just close with this:

THOSE WHO CANNOT REMEMBER THE PAST ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT

And one thing is abundantly clear in today's America, we have forgotten our past.

Blessings.
