Haters Whine over SCOTUS's Gay Marriage Decision


Haters are going to hate, and yesterday the haters came out in droves.

After SCOTUS denied the gay marriage appeals in five states, conservatives lost their ever-loving minds.

Below, are just some of the statements from haters and their fans.

Mat Staver - The responsibility for the undermining of marriage rests solely at the U.S. Supreme Court. Last year ’s decision in the Defense of Marriage Act case that started this fire, and today’ s decision to watch marriage burn to ashes is the responsibility of the Supreme Court. The actions of the Supreme Court in particular, and of the judiciary in general, undermine the rule of law and erode the confidence of the people in the judicial branch of government. When the people lose confidence in the rule of law, the judiciar will lose is legitimacy.

Ted Cruz
- The fact that the Supreme Court Justices, without providing any explanation whatsoever, have permitted lower courts to strike down so many state marriage laws is astonishing. This is judicial activism at its worst.

Tony Perkins - Unfortunately, by failing to take up these marriage cases, the High Court will allow rogue lower court judges who have ignored history and true legal precedent to silence the elected representatives of the people and the voice of the people themselves by overturning state provisions on marriage. Even more alarming, lower court judges are undermining our form of government and the rights and freedoms of citizens to govern themselves. This judicially led effort to force same sex 'marriage' on people will have negative consequences for our Republic, not only as it relates to natural marriage but also undermining the rule of and respect for law.

Brian Brown - Marriage is the union of one man and one woman; it has been this throughout the history of civilization and will remain this no matter what unelected judges say.

Ralph Reed - Today’s decision further insures that the marriage issue will motivate and mobilize voters of faith who are concerned about marriage and deeply resent having the institution redefined contrary to the clearly expressed will of the people by federal judges who legislate from the bench.

And the list keeps growing and growing... So good to see them falter

Ted Cruz says the White House is Hostile to Traditional Marriage


Ted Cruz is really trying to find a reason to exist. Since he failed in killing Obamacare, he's going for marriage.

Another fail in waiting.

He's pushing the revamped DOMA bill, which will never get anywhere, but he's still determined. Then, to continue this fool's quest, Ted said that President Barack Obama’s administration was “hostile” to traditional marriage. Hostile? Wow, since when making marriage for all, hostile?

He said:
“But it’s also manifested from the federal government, with the Obama administration. This administration is the most hostile-to-traditional-marriage administration this country has ever seen.”
Lord, stop trying to be seen, Cruz. Folks saw what you had to offer and not many are buying it.

Ted Cruz presents an Anti-Gay Marriage Bill to Senate


This fool introduced an anti-gay bill to the Senate in hopes to amend U.S. law "with regard to the definition of 'marriage' and 'spouse' for Federal purposes and to protect states' regulation of marriage." Why is he doing this? Probably to stay relevant.

HuffPo reports that Ted's reasons, which are to protect the marriage bans:
"it will ensure the federal government gives the same deference to the 33 states that define marriage as the union between one man and one woman as it does to the 17 states that have chosen to recognize same-sex unions."
He also said:
“I support traditional marriage. Under President Obama, the federal government has tried to re-define marriage, and to undermine the constitutional authority of each state to define marriage consistent with the values of its citizens. The Obama Administration should not be trying to force gay marriage on all 50 states. We should respect the states, and the definition of marriage should be left to democratically elected legislatures, not dictated from Washington. This bill will safeguard the ability of states to preserve traditional marriage for its residents.”
He wasting his time, but let him try.
