“The court also held that “the purported ‘right to marry a person of the same sex’” requires first “asserting that marriage includes the union of two persons of the same sex,” and concluded: “A fatal flaw in this position is that it assumes the truth of the proposition to be proved.” To the claim that same-sex marriage is rooted in the nation’s history and tradition, the court responded, “Plainly, it is not.” Where Judge Walker believed the only rationale for defining marriage as the union of a husband and wife was animus, the Texas decision found legitimate state interests in doing so…”

“I’ve read that Britney [Spears] is stupid, vain, a horrible mother, makes terrible decisions, and deserves scorn. Ripping her to shreds is a gleeful pastime for many, especially mothers, I’ve noticed. Why? I think it is because we often feel like we fall short in our mothering skills, so we need a Bad Mommy to look down on…”

Read on. {Editor’s Note: I found this out a few weeks ago, and I feel like I should pass it on: Did you know that if you rearrange the letters of Britney Spears’ name, you can spell “Presbyterians”?}

The Supreme Court in Canada feels for no reason (I almost said “thinks for some reason”, but I caught myself) that “group sex among consenting adults is not … a threat to society”. If Canada continues to persist in this foolishness (see previous examples), that nation will be held fast by the cords of their own sin and die for lack of discipline.
