i) Liberals win by cheating. Cheating is an effective way of winning when you can't win by honest means. If at first you don't succeed, cheat and cheat again. Just keep cheating until you win.
They circumvent our Constitutional system of gov't by getting some judges to abuse their power.
The fact that you can win by cheating isn't novel or surprising. Crooks have used that formula since time immemorial.
ii) To some extent, this definitely advances their cause. They got something out of it.
iii) However, it's also a sign of weakness. Even though some states were trending in their direction, liberals knew that wouldn't become a national policy if left to voters, if left to the discretion of the states. They knew you'd basically end up with a red state/blue state stalemate on SSM. The end-result would be a divided policy.
That's why they needed to do an end-run around the democratic process. That was the only way to impose a nation-wide policy.
So that's a backdoor admission that their position lacks the popular support they need. Even though they had some popular momentum, they were bound to hit a ceiling.
They have everything going for them except the votes. In a democratic republic, that only takes you so far.
iv) When, moreover, they resort to coercion rather than persuasion, that provokes resistance. They gain something in the process, but they lose something in the process. People don't like to be pushed around.
I wrote a dear Christian woman and friend of my wife's (and mine) similar sentiments (paragraph one below) several hours ago. During family devotion I was even more explicit regarding liberals and cheating. Had I read this post I would have shared it then. I'm going to share it now as they're taking a break from watching Robin Hood!
ReplyDeleteWe've been slouching toward Gomorrah for quite some time. I don't need to tell you. With that has come the judicial infidelity of sc justices. The immoral are not opposed to a rigged game, which is what we witnessed yesterday. They cheated and broke the law.
Our task is to live a holy life, unspotted from the world; rejoice in God's provisions in creation, providence and grace; and make a difference for Christ in our respective callings. All of those things are chocked full of meaning... including grilling out, swirling wine and lamenting as you are today. To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven... :)
This is a time in which the true church can find itself united. United in standing in calm, collected yet stern opposition to the law of a land that clamors against it's creator. The liberal agenda will search for hatred and anger but if we show only the truth of scripture spoken with the love of Jesus, they will be denied the narrative that they want. I have sensed more spite and vitriole from the supposed winners of this coercion than I have my fundamental christian brothers and sisters. God will ultimately be glorified despite the efforts of His creation.
