It is pretty messed up that we have to live in a country
that has amendments that the supreme court is to uphold, yet in today’s America
they don’t do an honest job and here’s why: 1st amendment:
“Congress
shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or
the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government
for a redress of grievances.
Yet, when the Supreme court announced their ruling of gay
marriage being legal, and Kim Davis (the woman from Kentucky jailed for
following her Christian convictions) got denied first amendment rights for
practicing her convinctions. I’m sure if
a muslim did it, we wouldn’t even be talking about this right now! For the first time in American history, someone
got jailed for their Christian faith. That’s
wrong.
Yes, there is a statement in the 14th amendment
that does state EVERY person has
equal rights, so not trying to deny any one their rights here. And for the sake of proving my facts I’ll
state it here:
“All
persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the
jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State
wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge
the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any
State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of
law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the
laws.”
However, this
country has states rights. Always
has. If they didn’t, than why on earth
are we voting on state laws for each year then?
Why do Washington and Colorado have legalized pot than if states rights
do not exist? Look it up in the 10th
amendment:
“The powers not delegated to the United States by
the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the
States respectively, or to the people.”
If a state votes
against gay marriage that should honestly be their perogrative. And in all honesty, according to Glenn Beck
the government needs to get out of the marriage business in the first
place. The point of needing a license to
marry was started by the government for tax purposes only, but in reality God
doesn’t require you to need a license.
Nor does a preacher. A preacher
only needs one now because of a law, but pretty soon there is going to be laws
made forcing preachers to go against their conscience and marry gay couples
now. When will this end?
It’s a double
standard honestly. Gay rights activists
can say and do whatever they want to get their movement accomplished, however
when a christian says their view on gay marriage they are called a homophobe
and told they don’t have a right to speak.
Uhm, so you mean to tell me you have the right to speak your beliefs under
the first amendment, but I don’t have the right to speak my beliefs under the
same amendment?
I know for a fact
they are practicing a double standard. I
have caught them in it with their own mouths!
I had to block one of them the other day on facebook (first time I ever
had to block anyone), and he told me he’s not hypocritical. Has no reason to be. Yet, later he said that he has a right to
stand for what he believes and christians don’t; and he also said that some
friends of his defended him because of his standing up for what he
believes. So let me get this straight:
you can state how you feel, but others can’t?
Isn’t that hypocritical? It’s a
double standard.
And before I get
attacked, let me say this: I have nothing against homosexuals. Never have and never will. But once you take a stand on morals you are
automatically called a homophobe. I just
think that they need to keep their bedroom lifestyles to themselves. I also say the same for straight folks. I guess that also makes me “straightophobe.” I know what people talk about amongst each
other in the work place. Why should I be
forced to hear about how your life is in the bedroom? That’s between you, your partner, and
God. It’s not the rest of the world’s
business. All open sexuality does is
causes a breakdown to society. Take a
look at our kids for example. You have
little girls expecting to wear sexualized shorts because that’s all parents can
find in the stores anymore, and they wander why their kids are losing
virginities at 10 years of age anymore.
Something that is supposed to precious to her, these days isn’t. and you
wander why you hear about all these rape cases amongst kids, and pregnancy
rates are occurring in kids as young as 10!
It’s insane. God designed it for
married couples only. No, we can’t force
people to make the right choices, but we need to educate them so that they
hopefully do. Wake up, America!
