civil right deniedExpected? Shocking? The decision handed down on Tuesday by the California Supreme Court on upholding the same-sex marriage ban takes away rights of homosexual citizens in this country. Don’t they pay taxes? Don’t they follow laws of the land? Aren’t they outstanding citizens? So why was it hard to give them their well earned fundamental right – the right to marry – by virtue of being citizens in a country they live in and support?

Imagine if someone took away your right to marry the person of your choice … Much as we can’t equate this to interracial marriages, can you imagine what would have happened if majority white voters had decided by the proposition to ban interracial marriage?

It is a sad day in America … Its sad that people can be given the legal and political power to just vaporize other citizens’ rights away. :-(

    A nations representatives to the UN are nominated by the National Government and/or Leader…

    …just same way othe political leaders are nominated…eg Hilary Clinton wasn’t democratically elected to her position…

    …so those sent by a nation to the UN actually DO represent their citizens

    Did say that I wouldn’t post here again – guess that’s why we shouldn’t say such things :) For those with the ‘born like this’ perspective, Here’s a link to what one gentleman has to say about his actual own personal experience in this area

    Last evening , my wife put the movie ” the Patriot ” with Steven Seagal in to watch .

    After seeing Ennis, Montana in a state of emergency after toxic chemicals were released by an upset landowner .

    I listened carefully to the beliefs of one who Disagreed with Gov’t Laws .

    Came to the conclusion / that others tend to believe in similiar form , Right here on these Blog Topics .

    The Rite of Marriage / bye Decision of the California Supreme Court was Denied .

    I ask as a Commentor on these Blog Topics / Will they ever worry about ” World Peace ” ?

    Sorry that is another Movie Topic with Sandra Bullock titled ” Miss Congeniality.” LOL .

    Shotgun007 ; Yes I am willing to Clarify that I indeed see it as I wrote it . Just a Retired ” King of the Road “

    YoYo, the example of Hillary Clinton is your justification? Are you kidding me?? That is an example of how lost our American public is when it comes the Constitution of this country.

    The Constitution of this country lists the responsibilities of the federal government. The main responsibility is to protect the citizens from enemies and to protect the rights of the citizens. The Secretary of State has no power to pass any law upon the citizens of this country.

    The U.N. passes resolutions with votes of “appointed” ambassador’s who then try to “enforce” the resolutions.

    Say for instance the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. votes with the rest of the ambassador’s of other countries to confiscate all guns in the U.S. that are owned by our citizens. How are we to redress this grievance to our government? We can’t because the Constitution provides no provision for a “United Nations”. Nor do we elect the ambassador to the U.N. We do however elect our congressman and can take our complaint to Him/her.

    You cannot, with a straight face, say that 300,000,000 people would go to the ambassador to complain. That is not redressing anything. That would be a mockery of representative government.

    Just as Obama is appointing (currently 33) czars. Where in the constitution does it authorize him to do this? We didn’t elect them. They are supposedly in charge of different areas of the economy, they have no real power.

    Try again…
