Norton write's;
well Justice Roberts, the Constitution also says nothing about the Space Program
or doing away with Slavery
or "allowing" women to vote
but it does say, Mr. Roberts, that all Americans should be accorded Life, Liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness....you "conservative" moron
and what YOU say IT say's is we're accorded Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
is your "It" referring to the Constitution?
Wiki say's;
"Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" is a well-known phrase in the United States Declaration of Independence.[1] The phrase gives three examples of the "inalienable rights" which the Declaration says has been given to all human beings by their Creator, and for which governments are created to protect.
And wasn't IT written primaraly infact to do away with slavery, and to grant women the right to vote??
Maybe YOU could sort through this before YOU retact YOUR HATE, and offer up YOUR appologies to the honorable Mr.Roberts!

Hey BLUBLOCR: Aren't you the ex-con who told us about the fifteen unregistered guns buried you've got buried in your back yard and is also delighted with the current state of U.S. gun culture?
Does your parole officer read this forum?
You're priceless - a "Christian" hypocrite happily swimming in a polluted sea of hate-filled paranoia.
Learn to love your neighbour, and while you're at it, try to learn how to use apostrophes.

hey Sweet Stewart;)
nah, i never owned a gun. never much wanted or needed to. got lots of fishing poles though. that was just an analogy for your entertainment. i've always been able talk my way out of a bad situation, or else run faster than the perp. a large part of understanding love is having insight for both sides of the story though, dont'cha think?

BLUEBLOCR: I don't have a problem with attempting to feel love for strangers that I'm certain aren't packing weapons, especially concealed ones.
Edit
I'm usually willing to consider both sides of most arguments, but there are exceptions:
-Nazis.
-People who feel that packing handguns and automatic weapons is a "right" that trumps the right of people who would prefer not to get shot.
-1%ers.
-Racists.
-Homophobes.
-Religious fanatics of any stripe.
I'm sure there's a few I've forgotten for the moment, but it would do well for us to accept that we're only on planet Earth for a short while and maybe people should try to be kind to each other once in a while.

Why are married people afforded benefits (apparently one of the big items under consideration by the justices) that single people are not?
Can we get a decision on making those stupid robes optional?

I see a big problem. Are those robes made in the same places (probably China) that preacher and choir robes are made. Violation of church and state????
Just do the wig things like the Brits. That'll suffice.

Last night we watched Netflix's bioptic on Nina Simone. The program showed a photo of a group of whites, men, women, and children some wearing bedsheets, posed and sitting below a black who had been hung.
Today, as we all try to solve our really large problems, we need not to forget the potentials, both positive and negative, possessed by people.
Read back through ST and the internet over the last few days and you will see an atmosphere markedly different from what existed before. Governors are even taking down flags. Arguably we have progressed because of the bloody sacrifice made by nine people in SC.
If there is something we can do to encourage this change, maybe we should.

My friend Off White posted this on FB recently - it is spot on about how I feel about this issue, as well:
I just had to give two "friends" the boot here for their offensive and bigoted comments on the recent Supreme Court decision regarding marriage equality. I've got no patience for that sort of thing, and if you share Pat and Robin's views about "perverts" lobbying for their "disgusting" special interests you should do us both a favor and unfriend me now. As I'm guessing he'll delete it, here's my parting commentary, it's a pretty accurate representation of my feelings on the subject:
"Pat, I'd thought you believed in freedom, but apparently that's only for people you like. People don't choose to be gay, black, female, or whatever: this is something you just are, it's what you come with. People do choose to be bigots though, that's learned behavior, not an immutable aspect of one's being. You can believe what you choose, but that doesn't give you the power to dictate whether someone else can enjoy the same rights you posess. That's what equal protection under the law is about, and its why Jim Crow laws, Native treaty violations, Japanese internment, torture, racial profiling, and yes, oppression of gay people are odious examples of this nation's failure to live up to the promises it makes to it's citizens and the world at large. These things can be changed, we can become closer to the society we think we should be as compared to the one we actually are. The work to bring our actions closer to our ideals is as important a struggle for freedom as anything the military does.
"They" are my friends you're talking about: Drew and Tom, Sally and Marilyn, Lisa and Lynn, Michael, Deven and Allyson, Xenia, Tom and John, Theresa, Carole, Kate and Kellie, Vauhn and Bobbi, and many others. "They" aren't faceless lobbyists out to molest your children, they are real people with faces and lives, aspirations and dreams, families and children, who are actively making this world a better place to live. My life is better for knowing these folks. You'd deny them the rights you feel you're entitled to because you don't like the way they love? That's what is disgusting and offensive here. I haven't seen you in over 40 years, but I find it sad you grew up to be such an ugly person inside."
Thanks for your concise and succinct words, my friend.

Lorenzo, i noticed you left out an important word from my quote,"AFTER".
not sure why? Sure it was well known Jimmie was a christian all his life. But as president he didn't pontificate to much on that fact. That is why my prose to "he did not become biblical till AFTER his presidency" was a merit to his ability to keep a seperation of church from state.Because after his term in office he came out singing the hymms to everyone that would listen. like for example, your link from 2009 :)

Isn't Christian Biblical marriage "Polygamy"
I don't remember it saying anything about "One man and One women"
The conservatives just made it up to keep gays from marrying,
if they were fighting for Polygamy, then they can use the Bible
the Mormons sure used the bible to justify it.
