It\u2019s rather alarming how the will of the American people is continually being subverted by arrogant judges and bloated politicians who think their conscience (or rather the interests of those who have bought them) should trump the democratic process. U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker ruled this week that Proposition 8, California\u2019s ban on same-sex marriage, is unconstitutional, and so same-sex marriages should be allowed. This is all fine and dandy\u2014I don\u2019t care who marries whom\u2014but there\u2019s one burr under the saddle in this whole drama\u2026the people of California VOTED IN FAVOR of the proposition.<\/p>\n
Now you can point out the hypocrisy of the \u201cenlightened\u201d and \u201ctolerant\u201d California voter who decides that he\u2019s liberal until there\u2019s something he doesn\u2019t want to tolerate, but at the end of the day, shouldn\u2019t the peoples\u2019 vote count for something? There\u2019s a very troubling mentality in this country that extends from local government all the way to the White House\u2026that voters simply don\u2019t matter and that a core of pompous elites should decide what\u2019s right for the rest of us. Note the terrifying rationale of California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger when remarking on Judge Walker\u2019s ruling: \u201cThe Administration believes the public interest is best served by permitting the Court’s judgment to go into effect, thereby restoring the right of same-sex couples to marry in California.\u201d In other words, the public interest is best served by ignoring the public interest\u2014their votes.<\/p>\n
Jerry Brown, former governor, and current Democratic nominee in the 2010 governor\u2019s race had this to say, \u201cAs this Court has concluded that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional, the public interest weighs against its continued enforcement.\u201d Again with the public interest. George Orwell must feel as if his tomb is a swing head centrifuge.<\/p>\n
Where is this all going to end? Well certainly not at the federal level with the chosen one running roughshod over the voters\u2019 wishes. Over two-thirds of Americans didn\u2019t want Obama\u2019s health care plan to pass, so the leader of the most transparent administration in history cut a bunch of backroom deals to ensure its passage. Voters in Arizona, who are being overrun by illegal infestation, decided to take matters in their own hands and approved SB 1070, and now they have to endure a costly lawsuit filed by Barack and his henchmen who somehow feel it\u2019s proper to sue to overturn a legal vote, but can\u2019t seem to find the time to prosecute thugs with billy clubs who intimidated voters during the presidential election.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.\u201d Indeed. Rest well, George.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
