Nazgul in chief – Culture wars
Kennedy’s Former Clerk Calls Him ‘First Gay Justice’
(CNSNews.com) The DOMA decision did not require all states to recognize gay marriage; it only required that federal benefits go to same-sex couples if they were married in one of the 12 states that recognized homosexual “marriage.” [In the 5-4 ruling in the United States vs. Windsor, Kennedy wrote the majority opinion that said the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) “singles out a class of persons deemed by a State entitled to recognition and protection to enhance their own liberty.”] In a separate case on Wednesday, Hollingsworth v. Perry, the court ruled 5-4 that the defenders of California’s Proposition 8 did not have standing, effectively killing the 2008 voter initiative to recognize only traditional marriage in the state because the state government did not defend the law. It also effectively legalizes homosexual “marriage” for California, a right bestowed on homosexual couples by the state Supreme Court. [In the 1996 Romer v. Evans case, Colorado voters approved a law to prevent any city, town, or county in the state from making homosexuals a protected class. The Supreme Court struck down the Colorado law in a 6-3 decision written by Kennedy. In 2003, in another 6-3 vote, Kennedy wrote the opinion for the Lawrence v. Texas case, striking down the Texas anti-sodomy law.]
Nathan: So it is not because Kennedy IS actually a homosexual, but because he is writing the opinions that so favor homosexuals – at the expense of the liberties of ALL Americans. None of the people in California have any standing about whether or not they (the people) can amend their constitution; they are nothing but subjects, even if they elect their masters. Coloradoans could not amend their own constitution. Texans cannot make an abhorrent and medically-dangerous practice illegal – even if it is illegal for all persons regardless of sexual orientation. Kennedy did not do any of these things on his own, of course, he had four or five fellow Nazgul as conspirators: participants in his assault on a once-great Republic. Kennedy may or may not be “gay” but he is certainly an example of judicial tyranny, the stench of which will drift down the ages.
Let me add a bit more. One of the major problems with Kennedy’s written decisions for the majority is the way in which he attacks those who were on the losing side of the court cases: the majority of citizens, voters, and/or representatives in all three cases. That isn’t my opinion, but that of his opponent Nazgul in this latest case: Justice Scalia who pointed out that the majority has condemned as evil anyone who would oppose same-sex “marriage.” Scalia wrote that the majority, “accuses the Congress that enacted this law and the President who signed it of something much worse than, for example, having acted in excess of enumerated federal powers—or even having drawn distinctions that prove to be irrational. Those legal errors may be made in good faith, errors though they are. But the majority says that the supporters of this Act acted with malice … to disparage and to injure same-sex couples. It says that the motivation for DOMA was to ‘demean,’ to ‘impose inequality,’ to … brand gay people as ‘unworthy,’ and to ‘humiliat[e]’ their children.” Scalia cited evidence for his argument, accusing the anti-DOMA five of passing moral judgment on all who supported DOMA. “In the majority’s judgment, any resistance to its holding is beyond the pale of reasoned disagreement. To question its high-handed invalidation of a presumptively valid statute is to act (the majority is sure) with the purpose to ‘disparage,’ ‘injure,’ ‘degrade,’ ‘demean,’ and ‘humiliate’ our fellow human beings, our fellow citizens, who are homosexual… It is one thing for a society to elect change; it is another for a court of law to impose change by adjudging those who oppose it hostes humani generis, enemies of the human race.”
It goes beyond just the narrow limits of DOMA (which I oppose for the simple fact that government has no moral, legal, or constitutional power to regulate marriage, whether there is a God or not). The Supreme Court of the United States, by a five-four ruling, considers ANYONE who does not believe that homosexuals have MORE rights, MORE liberties, MORE privileges than any other humans is an enemy of the human race. Indeed, it goes beyond that: homosexuality, and homosexual acts are a GOOD thing and therefore anyone who does not agree that they are a good thing (for instance, anyone who considers such acts to be a sin) are themselves sinning, immoral, and enemies of the human race.
Congratulations, Mr. Justice Kennedy. Your writing is more than likely going to be the basis in the future for outlawing Christians and Jews in the same way that pedophiles and rapists are outlawed today. (Somehow, I think Muslims will continue to get a pass, but then, I’m cynical.)
And congratulations, readers. You are reading writings that are as evil as Mein Kampf or the Protocols of the Elders of Sion. Enjoy!
One final comment: This ruling does not change the real definition of marriage any more than the Dred Scott decision in 1851 took away the human status of black people, or than a court decision saying that a tail is a leg would give a dog five legs. No matter what Kennedy or anyone else claims, the Court, the Nazgul, do not have that power.

Nathan: It really does not matter whether it is targeted to a particular group or not, it is the fact that the IRS is being used (and relishes its use) as a weapon of politics. End the IRS. End the FED.

Putin Succeeds in Getting Kyrgyzstan to Close a Key U.S. Airbase
(CNSNews.com)
Nathan: At least SOMEone is pushing back against this regime. Even while American and Russian troops establish closer ties (China, anyone), the Russians are pushing on Iran, Syria, and the illicit and unconstitutional American military presence in places like Kyrgyzstan. The headline is wrong: there is no way this can truly be a “key” air base for the US.
Stupid Tranzi – Nanny-state tyranny
Sebelius: HIV Testing Necessary to ‘Make Good Decisions About Your Health’
(CNSNews.com)
Nathan: Complete nonsense, of course, but exactly the kind of logic that Tranzi tyrants like this evil woman use. This is based on their assumption/hope that everyone in the nation does it like rabbits and that there is no such thing as self-control. This is the same logic that they use when it comes to guns: they cannot believe that people are able to restrain themselves, and that given the opportunity and the tools, will not go out and kill everything/everyone that they can. People can and do go without sex or any sort of “intimate contact” for their entire lives. And people do not all have blood transfusions or trade needles. Not in the real world. But in the Tranzi universe, even the elite overlords must be watched and controlled and tested constantly. It is, after all, for their own good.
Stupid government – Abominable Act
Obama Administration Exempts American Indians from Obamacare Mandate
(CNSNews.com) New rules clarify that people who are eligible to receive medical care through the federal Indian Health Service will be exempt from the requirement to have health insurance or face fines from the Internal Revenue Service. The Indian Health Service, a division of U.S. Health and Human Services, oversees a network of clinics that are required through treaty obligations to serve all patients of Indian ancestry, even if they cannot document their federal tribal status.
Nathan: This just expands the original exemption. I find it ironic that the law, the Abominable Act (ObummerCare) which started shoveling dirt over the face of the dead Republic, making the Constitution totally null and void (de facto), is using the Constitutional provisions regarding treaties to expand the federal welfare state and pay off political allies. SOME AmerInd tribes are entitled to “free” medical care as the result of specific treaty provisions, just as they are entitled to protection of their land and resources, and in some cases entitled to “free” food and clothing and housing – having paid for those “free” services through (mostly involuntarily, or under duress) giving up their land to those settlers, companies, and the federal government itself. But MANY tribes, and therefore many people with AmerInd heritage who are enrolled in the tribes, do NOT have treaty rights – instead, seeking to expand its socialism, the FedGov has simply granted the privilege of these things to everyone in every federally (or state-) recognized tribe: the vast majority of 6 or 7 million AmerInd people in the US. What a wonderful country!
Abominable Act (ObummerCare) – Economy
Small Business Owners Fear the Affordable Care Act
(CNBC News) Forty-one percent of businesses surveyed have frozen hiring because of the health care law known as ObamaCare…
Nathan: All I can think is that the reason these numbers are not higher is because some people just don’t realize what is going to happen. I heard a discussion a few days ago about how that the new immigration act would exempt those in their “trial period” to becoming “legal” immigrants from the requirement to have health insurance AND exempt the employer from paying the fine during that period. Seems to be an overt attempt to encourage businesses to hire illegals that are “becoming legal.” And thus trigger another round of employment convulsions. But there is a LOT more than just the fines and expenses, and a LOT more than just freezing hiring. More and more employers are finding every way possible to cut work hours for as many employees as possible to under 30 hours per week. Why? Because that is the threshold for the insurance mandate.
And just think, Ms. Pelosi, our own quaint little mix of Marie Antoinette, Imelda Marcos, and Agrippina the Younger (Nero’s vicious mom) wants us to celebrate “Health Independence Day” on the Fourth, to celebrate a year since this filthy evil law was upheld by those enemies of liberty and decency, the Nazgul Nine (SCOTUS).
Mama’s Note: The financial mess and job loss part of this is only the tip of the iceberg, unfortunately. It is important for everyone to understand that having “insurance” has little or nothing to do with actually getting medical care, especially competent and timely care. Medical professionals of all kinds have been leaving for a decade or more; finding other ways to make a living, retiring early, or limiting their practice to cash. Fewer and fewer young people are seeking medical careers, and fewer graduate every year. Who will provide all this “free” care in the long run? Nobody… trust me.
Stupid People – Theft by government
Government Can Be Efficient
(Economic Policies for the 21st Century) Government allocates enormous resources to responding to problems in an ad hoc and non-strategic manner…
Nathan: What are they smoking? This isn’t the Onion, is it? “Can be” -yeah, right, but only where the laws of probability allow you to roll a million snake-eyes in a row, and where you regularly get monkeys to type out ALL of Shakespeare’s plays, completely accurate again and again and again. The problem is stated right in the blurb: “Government allocates enormous resources…” Government should be forced to depend on nothing but voluntary donations for specific purposes – and even then, you can be sure that their spending would be inefficient, wasteful, and cause mischief. Where do people get these ideas? What’s next, someone telling us that government can be compassionate? frugal? logical?

Mama’s Note: Of course he just forgot… the “head” of all this snooping certainly can’t be expected to remember all the silly details of the “law” that supposedly justifies it all… even when giving sworn testimony. Thing is, just why did he think he could get away with such obvious lies? Proof that these morons are not omnipotent, for sure.
Nathan: Of course, the other excuse that he can use is that there are SO MANY spy efforts that he can’t remember even all the major ones. And I might even accept his excuse…. BUT Supposedly, that is why big government thug-bosses have staffers, to REMIND them of inconvenient things (like the truth). It is like giving a presentation on elephants, and thinking “I’m not going to mention elephants!” Man should be punished for perjury and contempt. Best punishment? FIRE HIM.
Tranzi tricks – Culture wars: homosexuality and “marriage”
Bill Maher: Jesus ‘Bitched’ About the Rich, But Not Homosexuality
(CNSNews.com)
Nathan: Filthy, disrespectful language aside, Jesus did NOT single out homosexuals for mention Himself directly. He didn’t need to: He made it clear that ALL of the old Law (the Law of Moses) was in effect and that sin was sin, even if it could be forgiven (the example being the woman found in adultery). He also had Peter, Paul, and the other New Testament writers clearly condemn it (even if the King James Version translators botched the translation). More germane to the point, the Lord defined marriage as one-man-one-woman, not any combination of two or more, and anything outside of marriage as “sin” (that awful old word), so that by definition, homosexual activity is a sin. Those who want a new-age Jesus with a big umbrella will have to try something else. but for this column, the political impact is clear: Despite Maher’s efforts to “defend christianity” (sarcasm here, folks), the SCOTUS decision and its language make it clear that christians who believe, teach, and practice what Jesus taught and what is found in the New Testament of the Bible are “enemies of the human race” and therefore “enemies of the state.” No matter how much they protest that Romans 13 or any other scripture says that they are to obey the king. “Thou shalt have no other gods before Me” – even if that “god” is the state.
Home front – Stupid people, stupid government
Odd Loaded Gun Trend Leaves TSA Officials Scratching Their Heads
(TheBlaze/AP) — Several times every day, at airports across the country, passengers are trying to walk through security with loaded guns in their carry-on bags, purses or pockets, even in a boot. And, more than a decade after 9/11 raised consciousness about airline security, it’s happening a lot more often. In fact, the increase is stunning. In the first six months of this year, Transportation Security Administration screeners found 894 guns on passengers or in their carry-on bags, a 30 percent increase over the same period last year. The TSA set a record in May for the most guns seized in one week — 65 in all, 45 of them loaded and 15 with bullets in the chamber and ready to be fired. That was 30 percent more than the previous record of 50 guns, set just two weeks earlier. Last year TSA found 1,549 firearms on passengers attempting to go through screening, up 17 percent from the year before.
Nathan: I personally think that this is a good sign. The more of us that carry, the more likely some of us are to forget we are carrying. People always make mistakes – and note, no information on how many of these are “law enforcement” and therefore used only to jack up the numbers. But this means that a LOT more people are carrying – even if carrying concealed. So criminals (including jack-booted thugs) have more to worry about on the streets and in the businesses of the nation. Still, it is a fun story to read, and if sometimes enough to make you angry, an interesting perspective. I was surprised to find out that TSA does not AUTOMATICALLY arrest you for carrying one (or so they claim, but again, this IS TSA), and sometimes don’t even steal the gun. And the data in the story does pretty much match what I thought otherwise: more in the West and South, the excuse “I just forgot” usually not believed, and the fact that when you are undressed unless you ARE properly armed, you don’t think of it as much. Especially given the way more and more of us (including gun owners and carriers) are brain dead so much of the time.
Mama’s Note: I find it very hard to believe that people found with guns in an airport are not arrested and persecuted every single time. The way the TSA carries on over a little bottle of water or a keychain “knife” would seem to illustrate their utter insanity and determination to prohibit as many things as possible. I keep waiting for them to decree that all passengers must board the aircraft stark naked. Personally, I can’t imagine forgetting that I’m carrying a gun, at least to that extent.

Nathan: Not if I can help it, and if I’m armed: we have a word for this kind of person out west: gallows fruit (well, most modern folk would use “lead sponge” something similar for this kind of child molester. None of my kids, none of my fellow church member’s kids, none of my relatives or neighbors’ kids belong to this thug. But clearly this man and his consort lack acceptable parenting skills, as the next story tells us about her.

Nathan: This is precisely the tactic I was warned NOT to use on my children by my parents and other elders. But exactly what I would expect out of a liar’s wife who is herself a Tranzi lawyer (or ex-lawyer). How can you tell when a lawyer isn’t telling the truth? When their mouth is open. Their poor children.
Mama’s Note: Never had to trick my sons into eating vegetables. They ate anything I put in front of them. Just worked on ways to get them to slow down and enjoy it more. Unfortunately, so many of today’s parents grew up on soda pop and junk “foods,” and that’s all they know – so that’s all their children know as well. The good news is that many are looking at healthy diets and getting rid of the junk. But they have to want to do that, of course. It can’t be legislated or forced.
