[From article]
the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that same-sex couples can marry anywhere, anytime. By nullifying state laws, dismissing individuals’ religious beliefs, and totally ignoring the Constitution, they trumped it all and won.
Except it wasn’t a gay victory, not really. Oh the gay community and their supporters will argue it was a huge win, an in-your-face slam-dunk. But beneath all the hoopla, behind the well-designed scenes, the gays lost. We all lost because the real victor, the hands-down big winner is government.
[. . .]
The campaign to eliminate conservatives started when elected officials openly attacked that majority, labeled them the “Christian Right,” “Extreme Right Wing,” or “Tea Party” then slandered those groups beyond recognition. They’ve painted conservatives as self-righteous racists and bigots who will destroy any progress this country has made. And the propaganda worked. Today, the Pavlovian response to these groups is resentment and animosity.
[. . .]
Enter the minority ploy where Washington jumps into every controversy, champions every minority cause in the country. They offer unconditional support for gays, blacks, Hispanics, Indians, any group they can separate from the pack and thus reduce the whole. The state-run media covers minority injustices 24/7, pimps hatred, anger, and revenge until the nation swells with the toxic swill and violence spills over. For the media that means even bigger headlines; for the government, justification for their intrusion into American’s lives; for the people, another step toward tyranny.
[. . .]
For every group they claim to support there is an opportunity to further decimate the constitutional freedoms in this country. They pass laws that require business owners to hire identified candidates regardless of their qualifications or demeanor, require colleges to give preference to certain applicants even if they were lower on every measure of merit, force states to abandon their autonomy and succumb to the ruling elite. The list goes on of their small victories on the road to totalitarian rule. But they’ve found their winning formula, the strategy that will finish this country off, turning Americans against America.
[. . .]
You don’t just want gay rights or racial equality, you want privilege, superiority, and revenge. You turn on everyone outside your cause, label them the enemy, insult, taunt, and demean any opposition.
[. . .]
The Constitution has become the enemy.
[. . .]
But we’re closer than you think to tyranny, to the day when this government no longer needs to play one group against the other because all groups are theirs; the day when people like me can no longer post this kind of article because it will be treason; the day when politicians decide what’s right and wrong, allowed or banned, moral or sinful; when they can rule with impunity and if they see fit, punish gays for being gay, whites for being white, or Christians for being Christian.
[. . .]
It’s been in the works for a while, not just pushing groups to demand more rights, more laws, and more goods but pushing them to hate, to hate anyone who doesn’t agree with those demands, to hate anyone not like them, a different color - white not black, a different religion -- Christian not Muslim, a different belief -- that all men are created equal -- not special treatment for some.
