I get emails, redux redux
This time, from a flak of Jared Polis, an openly gay Colorado Congressman. She writes: Dear Jeff I just wanted to make sure that you saw the email below that Jared wrote when the Supreme Court decision came down this week. Jared was at the steps of the Supreme Court with thousands of others and I could hear the excitement in his voice. We now face an important quarterly deadline

“Ten thousand people take part in re-enactment of Battle of Gettysburg” [Darleen Click]
The Telegraph Re-enactors fire the opening volley, starting the commemoration of the Battle of Gettysburg, one of the most violent of the American Civil War. More than 160,000 men fought at Gettysburg from July 1-3, 1863. Around 8,000 Union and Confederacy soldiers lost their lives over the three days as they fought in and around the Pennsylvania town, with tens of thousands wounded. The battle is often described as the

It was never about “homophobia” or “sexism” or “racism” … [Darleen Click]
It is about Leftism, and once a good member of the cult, you can do anything … Alec Baldwin just got a “Get Out of Homophobia Jail Free” card from the people at GLAAD … because they don’t have the balls to go after a self-proclaimed Hollywood liberal. After Baldwin essentially called for the gay-bashing of a Daily Mail reporter … the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation — the

That didn’t take long: Same-sex “marriage” murders friendship [Darleen Click]
Unfuckingbelievable dicentra BTW the purpose of pushing SSM is not to be fair to the historically disadvantaged: it’s to provide a pretext to engage in the actions listed above. The Left wants us God-botherers discredited and humiliated and as silent as the tomb. Pushing SSM is about the niftiest way to do that. Ernst‘s response Well, that, and to finish the job of atomizing the individual by eradicating what remains

Health issues
Sorry for the lack of posting. I’m dealing with some health issues that are best served by avoiding a lot of polemic. The agita, it’s killing me. I hope to see some improvement soon. With some rest and some distance. If sudden death doesn’t get me first.

“Expect more use of students to push government-preferred messaging” [Darleen Click]
I wrote earlier about the hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars that Obama is pouring into California to build a permanent one-party system. Looks like that includes a cadre of Obama Youth in the Los Angeles Unified School District. The Los Angeles Unified School District will use a state grant to train teens to promote ObamaCare to family members. Covered California, the state’s health insurance exchange, announced grants of $37

Immigration reminders
From Ted Cruz, the wacko bird whom John McCain wishes to capture, imprison, starve, dismember, and eventually bake into cookies so that he can eat him. These are a week old, but since nothing’s really changed, they are timely reminders about what the Senate — including Senate Republicans — are doing to us: See also, Cruz on the perverse incentives in the Gang of 8 Bill to fire American workers

“Worse Than It Sounds, and It Cannot Be Cabined”
Lots is being written on the SSM rulings by the Supreme Court, and much of it is decent (while much more of it is simply strained and awful). So if you can only read one piece — perhaps it’s all the legal bullshit being used to strip you of your rights as citizens and turned into subjects by way of philospher kings, imperial executives, and unelected bureaucrats born of legislative

Anthony Kennedy: I am greater than all, and I stand atop US history as its God and Savior. Bow.
I’m not going to bullshit anyone. And I won’t pretend there was any glimmer of hope in the combination of yesterday’s SCOTUS rulings on SSM. Taken together, a one or two person decision effectively completed, in the juridical sense, fundamental tranformation. Nutshell: In the ruling against DOMA, Kennedy essentially decreed that the definition of marriage as it’s always stood is bigoted; those who “defend” it defend hate, therefore. This means
