Dystopian view of the future after Obama's election. Alarmist, yet illiterate. "...As a result, pornographic magazines are now openly displayed in gas stations, grocery stores, and newsstands.."
I couldn't get past this fragment of partisan enormity:
«This was a blatant example of creating law by the court, for homosexual “marriage” was mentioned nowhere in the Constitution, nor would any of the authors have imagined that same-sex “marriage” could be derived from their words.»
Wow! The Constitution didn't mention gay marriage? That's pretty damning! We're a country of laws, damn it, and if it's not in the Constitution, then it's not legal, by golly!
Oh wait, it doesn't mention marriage at all. Boo! I thought our forefathers thought of everything in that outsized, one-page document.
Hey, women aren't mentioned in it either. Does that mean women shouldn't vote? Same goes for Alaska, Texas and California.
Wait, I've got it. Marriage is probably defined in the amendments. Right? No and No.
Without debating the complexities of whether the court can make laws (legal precedents are pretty law-like), I find that I need not finish reading that product of fear, uncertainty and doubt. I won't listen to arguments of made-up facts -- unless they're about B5, Hobbits or Cyclons.
