Court undermines the family

America is no longer on a slippery slope. We are simply hanging on to the edge. The latest slip was the Supreme Court disregarding the will of the people and states' rights regarding homosexual marriage (a contradiction in terms).

It seems that our government, for the people, of the people, and by the people, really is nothing more than tyranny of the minority. The rights of few can undo 10,000 years of human history in order to create a right that not only doesn't exist, but will stand to undermine the family.

The Declaration of Independence was clear that there are certain laws that are unalienable because they are endowed by God. The Founding Fathers understood through their reference to "nature" and "nature's God" that some things will undermine and destroy a society. When a government practices such laws or allows them, then the people are bound to alter or abolish that government.

We have seen from the court, at a minimum, two such decisions that fly in the face of natural law: abortion and homosexual marriage.

Neither action is condoned by any major religion in the world and both fly in the face of natural law. It is unnatural for something to destroy its own offspring. If it does, it is a freak of nature. In nature, no species can continue on if it mates with its own sex. Nature's God did not create things that way.

In our arrogance, Americans today think we have evolved.

What a joke.
