Cancel Leviathan’s Invitation to the Wedding

No surprises here: “A federal appeals court today declared California’s same-sex marriage ban unconstitutional … The three-judge panel of the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that a lower court judge correctly interpreted the U.S. Constitution and Supreme Court precedents when he declared in 2010 that Proposition 8 — a response to an earlier state court decision that legalized gay marriage [sic] — was a violation of the civil rights of gays and lesbians.“

Intriguing, isn’t it, how fast democrats shed democracy when the electorate doesn’t see things their way: Proposition 8 passed with 52 percent of the vote. That has legislators in New Jersey sniffing that “marriage [sic] equality” is too important to trust to the great unwashed in a referendum: they’ll force their whims on citizens instead.

How terrifying that politicians and bozos in black wield this much power. Their evil, stupid, and infantile opinions affect every detail of our lives as they dictate in areas that are none of the State’s concern. That’s the real issue here. And it should worry us far more than deviants’ mockery of the sacrament of marriage.

Yes, homosexuality is utterly immoral. The Bible unsparingly and clearly condemns it in multiple passages; those who deny this elemental truth are either shockingly ignorant or even more shockingly duplicitous.

And despite the media’s incessant propaganda, people of the same sex do not own a “constitutional right” to marry one another. But then neither do people of opposite ones. Thank God, marriage has never come under federal authority, nor does the Constitution empower the Feds to interfere in any way with this very private contract. (Pretending that the “Equal Protection Clause” pertains to sodomy perverts the Fourteenth Amendment as much as homosexuality does its victims.)

But sodomites want and need the State to meddle in this issue. That’s because their goals far exceed mere cohabitation; if they were the poor, persecuted lovers they claim to be, simply seeking lifelong bliss in each others’ arms — or at least until the next girly guy caught their eye — there’s nothing to prevent such degeneracy, especially in our permissive culture.

What they covet instead is our surrender, our acceptance and approval, with proof of those in tangible form. (Not coincidentally, “tangible” often means “financial,” such as coercing insurers to cover the boyfriend du jour just as they do a spouse. But insurance is one of fascist Amerika’s most heavily regulated industries, with states dictating in minute detail how these corporations conduct business — a factoid homosexuals conveniently ignore). And so sodomites crave the State’s involvement to rob us of what we will not give.

Their agenda coincides nicely with that of politicians and their allies in the media. These statists want government to continue growing exponentially; both hope it will flourish at the expense of the private sector — in fact, in the best of all possible worlds, it will destroy and subsume the private sector. Fortunately for them, every government, no matter how small or gargantuan, whether representative, democratic, or communist, carries the seeds of totalitarianism; just as a human baby cannot help increasing in size, neither can the State. Complete control of everyone, all the time, is ever its dream, whether in the form of a Roman emperor ordering his subjects to worship him, a medieval noble assigning serfs their bits of land, Nazi ministers encouraging women to bear and raise “fighters for the Führer,” or an American Congress establishing a Customs Service (sic) to tax a country newly freed from British imposts.

Obstructing the State’s grandiose ambitions are those two bulwarks of freedom: the family and Biblical Christianity. Both create a haven from the State; both strengthen us to withstand its onslaughts; both shelter us from its depredations. No wonder government always attacks these two — and the bigger the government, the more serious its attacks.

That age-old struggle is playing out yet again in California, as politicians exploit sodomites to cripple Christianity and the family. Meanwhile, a trio of sinful judges exercises enormous and very frightening power.

Tragically, it’s power the slaves handed them. It seems that the more a voter professes allegiance to “family values” and limited government, the more easily he falls for political “solutions” to various grievances. Ergo, when politicians prattle about “protecting” marriage, folks who ought to know better line up behind them, trusting the satanic State to defend morality. They demand it penalize sodomites, which is as foolish as expecting Hillary to penalize Bill and far riskier: the State may oppress the wicked for a season, but it will eventually oppress the righteous, too.

Nor do these dupes ever seem to realize that political power is like a football packed with uranium in play at the Super Bowl. The opposing teams scrimmage and tackle, each trying to capture the ball for use against the other — as if, when it detonates, anyone will survive the blast. How much wiser to defuse the bomb than fight for its custody!

This time, three referees have awarded a touchdown to the sodomites. That will kick the issue up to the Supreme Court, according to the promises of appeal from Prop 8’s proponents. But a far more effective response lies in returning marriage to the private sector. The State will only continue to degrade this most glorious union. Fine. Let us divorce Leviathan from marriage.

What God hath joined together needs no governmental glue.
