QUEER MARRIAGE

Many questions in life need to be answered. Every good salesman knows that when a potential customer gives a reason why he will not buy a product, the reason given is not the real reason. There is something that is deeper. A good salesman will dig deeper and find out what the real objection is and then overcome it. The reason for this is because we do not want to make it appear as though we are interested in ourselves. What is wrong with self-interest?

Why would queers want to marry each other? What is the underlying reason? It cannot to be because they want to start a family with children because they cannot reproduce. Homosexuality is death to man. It is the height of irrationality. Nothing but sickness and disease come out of homosexuality. It is completely unnatural and they were not born spiritually to be a queer. Being a queer is a choice. It is willful rebellion against God’s law.

The Supreme Court of California just overturned the law in California of marriage. How many years was marriage considered to be between a man and a woman in California? The California government has gone down a road that they will wish they never did. The only thing left is the judgment of God. For families, it is time to leave California. California is more interested in the death of the next generation. Leave the state to the queers. The queers are not interested in having equal rights but for having superiority. If they could they would outlaw heterosexuality.

The Supreme Court of California Justices should be impeached, but nothing will happen to them.

These justices have a place reserved in the lake of fire for them. They will spend eternity being tormented for this decision. They hate God and His law with all their heart. The Supreme Court of California does not have the final say in this matter, God does. God will not be mocked by these fools. These men are the biggest fools in the world, next to their master, Satan.

So why do queers want to get married? The answer is simple. They want medical and inheritance benefits for their partners. Their partners can be added to a medical plan by being married. They ultimately want the taxpayers to pay their medical bills when they contract AIDS. Most queers, especially men, are not interested in one partner. There is a lot of promiscuity among queers. There is no real love here. It is all lust.

As always, this will end up backfiring on the state of California. The queers may hail it as a victory, but really it is a defeat. When a culture accepts homosexuality, it is spiritually bankrupt. It is only a matter of time before it completely collapses. Spiritually it has already collapsed. Without true spirituality, no culture can sustain itself. God has a myriad ways of bringing judgment on a nation. However God does it, judgment will come.

NOTHING THAT STIRS

There is nothing that is really stirring me up this week. I have a self imposed deadline to post to this blog something each week. Therefore, I have to write something. There are many things that are constantly going on. Life is not static. There is always something to comment on. I am sure that there are cycles in the current events area.

The State of Tennessee is in the throes of a budget crisis. The sales tax revenues have fallen short of projection. Therefore, the Governor is proposing budget cuts. This is a good thing, as long as what is not cut is legitimate government functions of law enforcement. Everything else is fair game. There are those in the Legislature who want the Governor to tap into the rainy day reserves just to keep state jobs from being cut. What happens if the sales tax revenues continue to decline? All that would happen would be a delaying of the inevitable.

The Rev. Al Sharpton has financial problems. It seems the Reverend has a problem keeping good financial records and also has a bad habit of not paying his bills and yet he has the audacity to cry out against supposed civil rights crimes. We are not talking about paltry amounts. According to the AP story he owes $365,558 to New York City Income Tax and $931,397 for Federal Income Tax. The total amount he personally owes is $1,296,955. To have liabilities this high means that his personal income is very high for someone who operates a non-profit corporation.

The civil rights movement is not about civil rights but about money for Rev. Sharpton and his cronies. I do not know of any other Reverend that receive such high remunerations for being a Reverend. Of course, there is no taking responsibility. The blame is being put on shoddy record keeping that prompted Sharpton’s liabilities being overstated. The National Action Network did not have proper accounting personnel working for them according to insiders.

When you are a Reverend, your organization should be transparent. Everything should be done above board and keeping accurate financial records is part of that transparency. A Reverend is to set an example and Sharpton has failed to set a good example. A suggestion for the Rev. Sharpton would be to get his finances in order first. This should be his first priority. All of his energies should be focused on this situation until it is resolved.

Anyone that thinks that Rev. Sharpton has any credibility is fooling himself. His dishonesty should be obvious to all. His delinquent tax bills are proof of this. Rev. Sharpton only keeps the rules he wants and yet he wants to hold others accountable for their supposed foibles. Sharpton wants all the advantage for himself. He is corrupt and these delinquent taxes are only the tip of the iceberg. There is plenty more that is not out in the open.

NO HARM, NO FOUL

Sometimes you are not sure the way that a certain issue should be addressed. It is not clear what the right answer is, so you have to make the best decision based upon the available information. You have to rely on other principles to make the right decision. You have to look at both sides of the issue. Usually, in a clear cut situation, you already know how you would decide the issue from the outset.

Something that causes real harm needs to be resisted. However, if it is something that causes an inconvenience, then it is simply a hassle to comply, but there is no harm. Harm can be avoided by compliance. This means that it may pass the test. I believe strongly in probable cause. This is a protection to the individual against the monopoly of law enforcement possessed by the government.

The government cannot deprive me of my freedom unless they have probable cause to suspect that I have committed a crime. They must also obtain a warrant if they want to search my possessions. These are safeguards for the individual. Without these protections, the government could search me on a whim and I would have to comply with no recourse. The Miranda rights are important rights and law enforcement has to respect them. The individual is helpless against arbitrary governmental power. We need protections.

The Supreme Court on Monday, April 28, 2008 decided 6-3 in favor of upholding an Indiana law requiring voters to produce photo identification before being allowed to vote. The law was passed to prevent voter fraud. Voter fraud will always be a small number. Most people that vote do not think about defrauding the system and even if there is voter fraud, it will generally be so small as to not affect any election.

The Indiana law and all of these photo ID laws are an over reaction. There is no way that every system will be perfect. Does fraud occur in elections? I am sure there is some, but once again its magnitude is minimal. We simply cannot prevent everything. This is what the law in Indiana is designed to do. If there is evidence that a fraud has occurred, then those responsible should be prosecuted for fraud. Voter fraud should be on a case by case basis.

The question is does the State possess the right to deny an individual the right to vote unless they have a photo ID? Once again, the number of those not possessing the required photo ID is a very small number. The number would be, in general, so small as to not affect any election. We are talking about the margins, not the majority. If someone intends to vote in an election and they know that there is a requirement for a photo ID, then they would put forth effort to get the ID.

What the Democratic party and the ACLU (who are in bed together) know is that those looking for a handout usually vote for them. They know that these people are lazy and will not get the required photo ID, if they do not have one. These people are not issue oriented, only hand out oriented. It is bad when people like this are the voting base you depend on. This tells us that there must be some other basis to determine who should be allowed to vote in elections.

The Associated Press article quotes Justice John Paul Stevens as saying, "We cannot conclude that the statute imposes ‘excessively burdensome requirements’ on any class of voters." This law applies equally to all voters. A voter is an individual, not a particular class. The Democrats and the ACLU claim that the Indiana law will discourage the elderly, poor and minorities from voting. Who are the elderly, poor, and minorities? They are individuals.

As Justice Steven has pointed out, the photo ID requirement is not excessively burdensome. This is my conclusion also. It is an inconvenience to those who do not possess a photo ID, but for the vast majority, all you have to do is show your driver’s license. This takes a few seconds and your identity can be verified. This law forbids the right to vote without a voter ID, but this is easy for most people to comply with. It is an inconvenience but not overly burdensome. In other words, no harm, no foul.

You would think that the Democrats and the ACLU would be for a fair election. Their opposition gives away too much of their position. Their real opposition is not the possible discouragement of a few marginal people, it is much deeper than this. I suspect that it has to do with the motivation of their voting base. These people need things as simple as possible for them to function. Once again, these people are not issue based but handout based.
