The Aftermath....

A Conservative's Reaction to the Massachusetts court decision to issue same-sex marriage licenses....


In a force of calamity, need I wax rhapsodic, I find myself questioning the very nature of the judicial branch of this government. When the majority and law, dictated by that majority, no longer is valid or considered as viable for dictation of law, there is a great and frightening catastrophe ready to befall us. The very ideals and forced rhetoric that was the reason for our eventual rebellion and establishment of this country, now seems to be the very forces at work to re-establish that monarchy that so long ago was denied it's force here. What do we do? Is another great civil war on it's way? This time not fought on the field of battle, but with words and ideas? What will be the outcome, what will be the final charge and who will be doing the charging? Even those that sit in foolish caplacent silence will be roused in fury for or against what transpires in this great war. A war that has been on for quite some time. This war of transparent camaflouge that sits in front of a nation that does not, or matbe refuses to, see nor acknowledge it. Well, the time has come, as in any war that we see taking place "somewhere else" in the world and find it's way to our shores, a great awakening is taking place all over. Bewildered people desperately ask, "how did this happen?", "Why was I not told about this?", or foolishly look on with stunned disbelief wondering what it is they are supposed to do now. I and many others look at those in awe and ask, "How could you not see this coming? How could you sit there in stunned disbelief at something you simply have time and time again turned the channel or lowered the volume not to see. How many times have you taken for granted that 'someone' will do something about it. How many times have you thought, 'Well, as long as it doesn't happen here.'" Now with the very horror you refused to see, the very acts you refused to take action against, the very freedoms you fought for, and other died for, and continue to fight and die for, crumble at your feet, you now weep in your ingorance dispelled by the reality of what is happening. Pardon me for being so blunt, but where have you been for the last few decades!?
