America's War on Christianity

This just keeps getting worse and worse as more Christian owned businesses are not only being shut down, the owners livelihoods are being completely ruined. The latest victim, this Oregon couple, owned a bake shop and they simply said that due to their Christian beliefs they couldn't bake a cake for a lesbian couple that requested their services. At no point were they derogatory, they some referenced their Christian beliefs as to why they couldn't perform the requested service.

Rather than speak out against the bakery and maybe utilize social media to demean the bakeries action, they went directly to the govt with their dispute. What happens next is utterly disgusting! The lesbian couple has filed a lawsuit with nearly 90 charges of how the bakeries refusal of service has caused them harm whether it be stress, weight gain, and a whole list of other ridiculous accusations.

As a result the couple who owned the obakery has since lost their shop and is now facing a $135,000 fine. It wasn't enough to simply take away their shop, the govt is now going after everything they have.

What has come of this country when people can no longer assert their religious beliefs anywhere. It's amazing that those who cry out for tolerance are the same ones who lack the same tolerance for people who may not agree with them. We are quickly becoming a country devoid of any religious liberty. The same religious liberty that so many, including my own family who fought for this country in the American Revolution, were willing to die for.

Get the Government Out of Marriage

Today we received the HUGE news that DOMA or the defense of marriage act has been struck down by the supreme court.  This brings about much debate as to the significance of this ruling.  First and foremost the entire idea of the bill is completely unconstitutional as the constitution has no bearing on marriage.  Due to the fact that Bill Clinton signed this bill into law nearly 10 years ago we have since had been debating the validity of this law. 

Regardless of how this law is interpreted, the bill is entirely unconstitutional and it is a victory that it has been somewhat revoked.  Notice I say somewhat...  This is the case because the Supreme Court did rule on the law by explaining that it is indeed unconstitutional, although they left it up to the states to determine the validity of the law. This ruling is also a victory for the constitutionalist as they recognized state sovereignty.

We must also address proposition 8 in California which is now coming into play as a result of the ruling today.  There has been word that they are trying to overturn the revocation of this proposition as it had been recently voted down.  This is where it gets frustrating, the left always says the people should be heard.  This is an instance where the people decided, but they decided against the progressive agenda and the progressives can't stand it.  Therefore they are stomping their feet like little children and complaining about how they are going to get their way anyway. PATHETIC!!!

There is another major point of concern in regards to the ruling handed down today.  Now that DOMA has been ruled upon, it is only a matter of time before the progressives attempt to make it mandatory that religious institutions accept gay marriage even if it goes against everything they stand for.  Mark my words this is their overall goal and they will attempt to accomplish this by removing tax exempt status from the religious institutions if they don't comply.  This is where we conservatives and constitutionalists must keep up the fight as the left continues to attack all forms of religion in this country in an attempt to break down the societal structure that has held us together since this country was founded.

Regardless of your stance on the issue posed by DOMA it is indeed an unconstitutional law and a victory that is has been somewhat overturned.  While this is the case we must realize that the government shouldn't have any say in marriage whatsoever.
