Abraham Lincoln, Conspiracy Theorist (Continued)

Today, in an article entitled "At Supreme Court, Kicking the Tires on a Same-Sex Marriage Case Fit for History", the New York Times observed "The lawyers challenging the same-sex marriage bans (in many states) are confident they will win in the Supreme Court, which is why they have all urged the justices to hear their cases even though they had won in the lower (appeals) courts."  This is how the Times explained the inexplicable and generally unheard-of acts of appealing--en mass--verdicts deemed victories: it is simple glory-hounding by persons prescient about how the Supreme Court will rule!?!  Observe that these lawyers stand to gain--not just the notoriety of a historic verdict, as noted by the New York Times--but the standing of nobility in America for themselves and others of their ilk.  Imagine the importance of argumentation and presentation--their specialties--when laws become completely arbitrary and amoral.  This is precisely what national gay marriage would do: it would redefine law away from morality as we know it.  However moralizing the tenor of the arguments by its advocates, national gay marriage would make laws amoral and judgment immoral.  This would serve ambitious litigators:  when charisma is the only criterion in court, nothing will be outside the grasp of a good, licensed attorney.

I pity their gay clients.  Not because they found matrimonial bliss in spite of populist state laws.  But because they are being made to hazard their it anew for a runaway cause.  Their issue is no longer the concern of a mere 1-2%.

Their issue has become the foil of every gentile thrusting against God's objective moral code and against America's Judeo-Christian Constitution and legal system.  With this, they thrust viciously at the eyes and ears and mouth of legitimate justice.  Some human eyes are already dull; some ears are already missing; some mouths are already silenced.  Unchecked, these wicked strokes could blind the body politic, mute expression, and dumb truth; and thus, would foil freedom, faith, and hope--for everyone--eventually including those stabbing and slashing at the only real basis for law and justice.  Resist this national self-mutilation while you can still see and speak.  Eventually, if we let them "succeed", the only equality will be an equality of misery.  Unless they desist, they will discover that they brought their sword to a duel with God--that they brought their sword to a cataclysm.

God bless us with better sense than that of a swarm of fruit flies:  may we sense while we are still aloft (and not afloat) that vinegar, however presented, is not, after all, a fruit.
