SCOTUS Renders Ruling – No Pillars of Salt

Posted on by

scd 1The sun did indeed rise in the east this morning regardless of the ruling by the Supreme Court that same sex marriage is now legal in all 50 states and I drove around town yesterday…AFTER the ruling…and failed to notice even one pillar of salt.

In a 5-4 ruling, the Supremes decided that the same LEGAL standing…the same LEGAL protections and the same LEGAL benefits are to be extended to same sex married couples as are extended to opposite sex married couples.

It’s not the end of the world though you might have a different impression if you browse social media posts which include everything from the sky is falling to this is the end of our nation and the end of times.

Equal protection under the law has always been a hallmark of our Constitution and of our country although there are obviously some out there who believe those equal protections should extend only to those exactly like them.

Among those who are most distressed over the ruling are those who claim that this is an assault on religious freedom.

They are wrong in that interpretation as the ruling says nothing regarding nor does it interfere in any with religious precepts, religious doctrines or religious interpretations regarding marriage.

I’ll get back to that point shortly but before I do…

6.4 Million Holier Than Thous Supported Obama

hol 1Earlier in the week I woke up the choir and they didn’t like it one little bit. I sent a certain segment of one particular brand of Christianity into a fit leading them to accuse me of being of a nature such that their descriptions of it were, in some cases, vile…as these self-described good and moral Christians are so apt to do when one challenges their slumber with facts.

Yesterday, I brought forth more than the quotes of our Founders and Framers to illustrate just how they deliberately kept ANY religion or specific brand of any religion from becoming the foundation of our nation and provided clear evidence and reasoning as to why they took those very deliberate steps.

That was also not well received by those who profess to follow the teachings of Jesus more closely than thou.

Today…the lesson we must learn from their actions…

Founders, Framers, Faith and Facts

Posted on by

By Craig Andresen – The National Patriot and Right Side Patriots on cprworldwidemedia.net

found 1After writing earlier in the week regarding the fact that our Founders and Framers deliberately left religion…ANY religion OUT of our founding documents to create a new nation NOT founded IN any religious pretexts…I had no intention of penning a follow-up piece. However, after being roundly and vehemently criticized by those who INSIST that our nation was founded in Christianity…

Here we go.

One of the things most often thrown in among the ever-so-Christian name calling aimed at me was this, which I was told in no uncertain terms, was PROOF that we are a nation founded in Christianity.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator (God) with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

First of all…”that all men are created equal” to our founders and framers meant that ALL men…of the WORLD and not just of the United States are created equal and second…”endowed by their creator,” does not denote any specific religion whatsoever and, for that matter, “Creator” was a deliberately chosen word derived NOT from Christianity but from DEISM…a widely held system of belief in the middle 18th century and one that MANY of our Founders and Framers followed.

Next up on the “proof” parade was the SECOND part of that passage from our Declaration of Independence…

Religion and Our Founders MOST Deliberate Act

Posted on by

By Craig Andresen – The National Patriot and Right Side Patriots on cprworldwidemedia.net

const 2In 2012, during the campaigns and amidst the prospect of another four years of the Obama regime, there were those amongst we Conservatives who followed the talking point s of the all-so-rightous, holier-than-thou wing of the far, FAR right and said…”better the Muslim we know than the Mormon we don’t” and either stayed home on election day or voted for Obama by casting their votes for a 3rd party or write in candidate.

They’re back…starting to make noise and poised to ensure the next and possibly last four years of our Constitutional Republic are in the hands of yet another liberal/socialist.

To do so, these people are cloaking their agenda in religion…again.

People like Wild Bill (for a theocracy) Finley who always ends his hate-fueled videos with the tag line of “may America bless God…again,” right after urging his viewers to donate to him so that he can continue to produce such videos… videos which he shoots without a crew on a tablet and posts to You Tube…for free.

Wild Bill (for a theocracy) likes to claim that our nation was founded on the principles of his particular brand of Christianity and he’s not alone in this misguided flim-flaming of history. Challenge Bill of any others who push this nonsense, and they will always come back at your challenge with some quote from some letter or some speech that one founder or another penned as their PROOF that America is and always has been a CHRISTIAN nation.

Let me put it this way…

God v. The Constitution…Part 2 of 2

Posted on by

By Craig Andresen and Diane Sori –  Right Side Patriots on cprworldwidemedia.net

gvc 1Yesterday, in Part 1 of our report, “God v. The Constitution,” we laid out the legal aspects of the upcoming Supreme Court case regarding same sex marriage but, at the bottom of all the hand-wringing and gnashing of teeth however, is the mantra chanted endlessly by those on the far, far right and the holier than thou set…that being…”traditional biblical marriage is only between one man and one woman.”

What this really is, is the ultra-religious ascribing words either to the Bible or directly to God that simply aren’t true but let’s give them a chance and see how it lines up with the facts.

To imply that biblical marriage is between one man and one woman would need a Bible verse or passage as backing to make it fact however, no such verse or passage exists. In fact…the Bible never uses the word “marriage” nor in fact does the Bible ever define marriage. Sure, there are plenty of verses and passages regarding love or husbands and wives that one can look up but none of them, not one, offers any definition regarding the institution of marriage.

That said however, the Bible does offer a great deal of insight into “traditional” marriage.

God v. The Constitution…Part 1 of 2

Posted on by

By Craig Andresen and Diane Sori –  Right Side Patriots on cprworldwidemedia.net

Let’s start with the bottom line…the ‘social issues’ belong to the states…period. And anyone who says otherwise does NOT know the Constitution…you know…that pesky little document Obama so loves to trample on.

The Constitution…the very document that defines our freedom and protects us from a tyrannical government (that is until Obama came along)… clearly and unequivocally states which powers will be delegated by law to each branch of government. And while amendments to the Constitution have been added that deal with specific ‘human rights’ (rights believed to belong equally to every person) those amendments still rightfully place limits on government powers in regards to those rights. And the ubber-religious far right, and even some centrist conservatives, do not understand that when ‘social issues’ cross the line into political fodder they themselves become what’s legally referred to as ‘constitutionally improper.’ And neither the federal government nor Obama himself…even when yielding his trusty pen and his phone… can legally choose which Constitutionally given ‘human rights’ to focus on…to fixate on…over the others. But the delegation of the so-called ‘social issues’ still must adhere with the Constitution not with Obama or with the socially conscious and many times judgmental ubber-religious far right.

The GAY Marriage Debate is NOTHING New

Posted on by

By Craig Andresen – The National Patriot and Right Side Patriots on cprworldwidemedia.net

marr 1Yesterday, friend and Right Side Patriots radio partner Diane Sori wrote and published an op-ed regarding the obtuse silliness regarding the leftist media’s line of questioning to Republican candidates…”Would you attend a gay wedding?”

It’s a great op-ed and worth the read but it got me to thinking…haven’t we been through something very much like this before?

Until about 50 or 60 years ago…wasn’t there an element of society that was dead set against ANOTHER type of weddings?

Indeed there was.

It was deemed by some, mostly by those on the far uber left and by some on the far fringes of the uber religious right to be…unnatural…an affront to the natural course of things and something that people of good standing ought NOT to participate in.

Why…it was hard…nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get some bakeries to provide a cake for such weddings.

It was hard or nearly impossible to find a photographer to record such an event…and in many cases…churches were REFUSING to hold such ceremonies in THEIR places of worship.

But people got married anyway…

Obama’s Mocking of Religion is a Trap

Posted on by

By Craig Andresen – The National Patriot and Right Side Patriots on cprworldwidemedia.net

So why exactly is religion…most specifically the Christian religion, under such blistering sniping from liberals?ixt 1

We are seeing this on nearly a daily basis and the new Indiana law is nothing more than the cause du jour for the left. From Al, ‘the reverend’ Sharpton’s buffoonish quote, “This is a key moment for the country. Too often in our history, we’ve seen religion used to justify attacks on other people’s rights, from slavery, to Jim Crow, to women’s right to vote,” likening religious freedom and slavery AND  to Obama’s chastising of Christians on Easter Sunday…“On Easter, I do reflect on the fact that as a Christian, I’m supposed to love, and I have to say that sometimes when I listen to less-than-loving expressions by Christians, I get concerned, but that’s a topic for another day.”

Liberals are quick to condemn religion and to sue over any visage of religion seen in public and they are just as quick to stand up for a freedom FROM religion rather than take up for the Founders and Framers in their vision that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” but to be fair…it is only the second part of THAT statement that lights their delicate, easily offended sensibilities on fire.

So what IS it about religion that liberals find so damn distasteful anyway?

Liberals React to Religious Freedom…OMG!!!!!

Posted on by

By Craig Andresen – The National Patriot and Right Side Patriots on cprworldwidemedia.net

“Is tolerance a two-way street or not? There’s a lot of talk about tolerance in this rfra 1country today having to do with people on the left. But here Indiana steps forward to protect the constitutional rights and privileges of freedom of religion for people of faith and families of faith in our state, and this avalanche of intolerance that has been poured on our state is just outrageous.”

Those are the words of Indiana’s Governor, Mike Pence, in the wake of liberal panty wadding over the recent passage and signing of that state’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

Doesn’t Pence realize that the TOLERANCE liberals are always whining about only extends to those who feel as they do…believe as they do and advocate the exact same things as they do?

In fact, there are few groups in this country less tolerant than liberals but to really understand this latest sense of false outrage by the left, one must examine the RFRA.

What we have here is not at all unique. In fact, 19 states have passed just such an Act of their own but that doesn’t even begin to cover it. Another 11 states have RFRA written into their state Constitutions.

Want more???

Weekend Edition: Can We PLEASE Focus???

Posted on by

By Craig Andresen – The National Patriot and Right Side Patriots oncprworldwidemedia.net

tnp eagleI have to tell you that there are just some things I don’t give a rat’s ass about. Not in the least…not at all…because in the grand scheme of things and with the world in the shape it’s in right now…certain things just don’t really matter.

For instance…

I don’t give a crap who wore what to the Oscars. For that matter, I don’t give a crap who DIDN’T wear what to the Oscars and if you think there is some overwhelming reason to continue to post and share photos of Neil Patrick Harris in his tighty-whiteys…you are sadly mistaken.

I don’t care who sang what during halftime and I don’t care how Madonna’s dancers were dressed at a Brit Awards show. When people launch into that line of ‘THE WORLD IS ENDING…ILLUMINATI…SIGNS OF THE APOCOLYPSE AND THE DEVIL’S MUSIC’ crap…it makes reasonable people think you’re on the verge of organizing a book burning party on an overpass to prove that you are somehow more virtuous than the rest of humanity.

I don’t care who’s sleeping with whom or who is getting married to whom. If you don’t think that people of the same sex should sleep with each other or get married to one another than by all means…don’t sleep with or marry someone with the same parts as your own.

Problem solved.

Colorado and Washington made it legal to smoke pot for fun. Okay…since I don’t smoke pot or live in Washington or Colorado…why should I care. They both voted on it at the state level…it passed in both states…big deal.

Abortion?
