"Gay marriage"

First off, I couldn't care less what consenting people do with their lives, if they don't rub my nose in it.

That said, recently a federal court ruled Louisiana's gay marriage ban "constitutional".

And this week, another federal court ruled Wisconsin's similar ban "unconstitutional".

Seems to me that all the states that had such "bans" ruled "unconstitutional" just need to copy Louisiana's wording and they are magically "constitutional".

But that is a side issue. The big thing to me is - exactly where in the US Constitution is the word "marriage" mentioned? Why should the federal courts even deem to hear such cases?

The only reasons I have ever been able to figure out that "marriage" is a concern of the various States is twofold. First, control of the population for taxation, second, to enforce laws prohibiting persons of certain classes from marrying persons of other classes - in other words, racial segregation.

I have one problem with the idea of "gay marriage" - words have meanings and those meanings should not be casually thrown away. "Marriage" is defined as a union between a man and a woman. Whatever "gays" do is NOT marriage by definition. Another example of liberals warping the language for their own purposes.

The truth comes out?

Government Lies about Standoff with Cliven Bundy – It isn’t about the Tortoise, its About Fracking 

Natural News dropped a bombshell yesterday, and I want to give you an excerpt below. Americans are smart enough to know that our government would not send 200 armed agents to protect some tortoises. It is always about money or resources/assets that can be turned into money. Mike Adams reports:

The Bureau of Land Management says its 200-man armed siege of the Cliven Bundy ranch in Nevada is all about protecting an "endangered tortoise." But a Natural News investigation has found that BLM is actually in the business of raking in millions of dollars by leasing Nevada lands to energy companies that engage in fracking operations.

This document from the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology shows significant exploratory drilling being conducted in precisely the same area where the Bundy family has been running cattle since the 1870′s. The "Gold Butte" area is indicated on the lower right corner of the document (see below), and it clearly shows numerous exploratory drilling operations have been conducted there.

What's also clear is that oil has been found in nearby areas and possibly even within the Gold Butte area itself.

It is, of course, customary for the U.S. government to bring armed soldiers to an oil dispute. (Operation "Iraqi Freedom" for starters…) Heavily armed snipers, helicopters and militarized soldiers have never been invoked over tortoises. (Anyone who thinks this siege is about reptiles is kidding themselves.)

Here's the map showing the oil exploration conducted on the land where Bundy runs his cattle (all the red crosshairs are oil and gas exploration drilling operations):

If you would like to read the full article, it goes on to give examples of oil and gas leases that are already happening in Nevada.

 I wonder which Demonrat Congresscritters have invested in this area/

This bears watching

Share information in support of these people who refuse to stand idly by while theft, violence, and tyranny occurs at the hands of the government. If we all spread the word, there is no way that another Ruby Ridge or Waco can quietly occur. We can combat the disinformation spouted by the mainstream media by publishing REAL photos, REAL videos, and REAL accounts of what is happening. We can keep the communication open and tell the world what the United States government is doing to its own people.

Share this and other stories through email, through social media, through links in the comments sections of mainstream news sites. Whatever you do, don’t wait for someone else to take action. Now is the time to speak up for liberty. Make this story too viral for the mainstream to ignore. Do not allow these brave people staring down the barrel of a gun to do so without our support.

The Bureau of Land Management has picked up a snake by the tail, and it looks like that snake is going to bite.
