Topic: Christian Group Can't Bar Same-Sex Ceremony on NJ Property

[LadyVirginia]

A New Jersey judge has recently ruled that a Christian organization must perform same-sex ceremonies on its property despite its views regarding the practice.


Apparently deviant sexual behavior trumps religious liberty.

Hey Christie, jump in and stop this from happening.

Hey Christie, jump in and stop this from happening.

He will just as soon as he finishes the buffet.

A man's got to have his priorities!

It's edicts like this that are gonna have to be defied with the support of states, if the rogue judiciary and/or bureaucracies are ever going to have their assumed authority challenged.

The governor is in charge of the top law enforcement officer in the state. Tell the people to go ahead and deny the homosexuals marriage on their property, and then tell the judiciary that if they have a problem, take it up with the governor's office. If it goes to the federal court, tell them that the edict is not recognized as lawful.

But I seriously doubt whether Chris Christie will expend political capital of that nature on a social-con cause like this.

I do wonder at how few people actually realize how the Federal government, through the Civil Rights Act, has turned the Constitution on its head, by arrogating to itself the "authority" to discriminate against certain groups, and does so, despite the Amendment prohibiting that by asserting the people's rights to equal treatment under the law, AND simultaneously abrogates people's rights to free association and religious freedom.

Think on that for a moment.  The Act was intended to prevent governments from discriminating on the basis of race and it now protects the governments' discriminating on the basis of race and prohibits the people from dealing with whom and how they choose.

Furthermore, some of the detail here rang a bell for me:

A New Jersey high school with a 70-year tradition of hosting graduation ceremonies in a historic auditorium is standing firm against legal threats from the American Civil Liberties Union, which claims the event violates the separation of church and state because of the Christian-owned site's religious displays.

Ah, they want it their "way" which is any way they can stick it to us.  So they require no logic or reason.

They only require "feelings". 

OK leftnut's, here's some "feelings" for you!  Disgust, hatred!  Want me to act them out like you do all the time?  Hmmm?

[LadyVirginia]

They only require "feelings". 

They haven't progressed beyond the feelings they expressed as infants when they were hungry or pooped.

Christie ought to step in.  The owners of this facility have been harassed twice now.  The ACLU tried to stop the high school graduation on the canard of "separation of church and state" and the court is now disregarding THE SAME facility's religious connection.

It's enough to make yer head spin.

$5 says he does nothing (too busy shilling for mittens).

While we're on the subject.....

Washington state legislature is poised to pass a homo-marriage bill. Fraudoire (the faux-governor) is anxious to shove it up our collective butts. Despite the fact that the vast majority of state citizens expressly do not want it (they went ballistic over the "domestic partners bullcrap a couple of years back).

You know (I know) that forcing us to accept degenerate homos is right around the corner.

I'm so happy I could retch.

Jeez, 'Soup, Washington get too many libnut refugees from CA & OR  or what?  No chance of turning that legislature over?  No recall provision to get Gov Goofy out?  I guess we are fortunate here in Minnie to have Repub's controlling legislature to prevent the worst Gov. Dayton has to offer!  Sounds like you have no speedbumps at all!
