Taking Issue With Definition of Marriage

I received an email this morning from a good man who forwarded an article from the Family Research Council. It was about two female cadets at West Point who were married in chapel in defiance of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) that was passed into law. I felt compelled to address the issue myself although I am certain that it will not be well received by either side in this ongoing debate.

Back in September, 2011, I wrote a blog post (Marriage: Is It Legal or Lawful?) because the DOMA was being hotly contested in the media. I felt it was necessary to separate the issues at hand into their respective parts. Namely, the legal license that binds two individuals in a contract (civil union) and the ceremony of marriage, which is a religious institution, which is protected by law.

I also posted “Media Hype Aside: Ron Paul Stands Out!” where Dr. Paul articulates the need to remove “gay” preceding “rights” as all individuals enjoy equal rights, regardless of sexual preference. To grant rights to any group above the rights of others is not provided for in the Constitution.

The difference in not always obvious since the legal document called a marriage license is merely a contractual agreement for legal purposes, such as power of attorney when one party is unable to make decisions for themselves, and the other party therefore is granted the right to make decisions for the other. Just as a parent has legal power of attorney for a minor child, so does a license of marriage give the same power for their spouse or partner.

But the institution of marriage itself, the ceremony if you will, is particular to the religious faith of the two parties to be joined. After all, does not the ceremony state, “in the holy bonds of matrimony?” There is nothing “holy” in legal or lawful contracts between two parties.

So once again I am drawing attention to the post mentioned (Marriage: Is It Legal or Lawful?) since the question of whether or not West Point was correct in allowing these two women to be joined in marriage. Since the Constitution makes it explicitly clear that no particular religion can be chosen as the religion of the government, in also implies that all faiths must be treated with equal respect and reverence.

In times of war there were many soldiers who were of different faiths, and while the chaplains of the military may have been predominantly Christians, be no means were other religions made less significant by those chaplains.

While we may all have our convictions of what is right and wrong, and what is permissible based on religious doctrine, our nation was created on principles of liberty, and regardless of our personal beliefs, we must therefore accept the fact that there are others who will not always agree with our own religious practices.

It seems obvious that by prejudice against others of different beliefs we have become the Divided States of America, and that is a dangerous precedence to set when We the People must stand united when high crimes and treason are the main issues that are eroding our freedoms and nation.

Resistance is Futile: Assimilate or Annihilate

History shows that no matter how bitter the battle and how costly the victory, the public will soon forget and feel they can once again trust others to protect them.

That happened with the victors of the Revolutionary War as the general public relaxed and allowed others to deal with the protection of the new Republic. They soon forgot how important it was to their own liberty to be wary and remain vigilant. There are always those who attempt to subvert the will of the people through deceit and force.

The entire chronology of the events that leads up to the present will be too lengthy to display in a blog article. However it does demonstrate the steps that were taken to slowly take control of the nation and the methods employed were devious.

Controlling the People’s money was the primary goal employed. The failed Aldrich Bill was later reintroduced as the Federal Reserve Act, and the public was duped into believing in was the cure for economic collapse. Reality has demonstrated the contrary in that it is the cause and not the cure.

Getting the individual States to lose the Senatorial selection played a major part in defeating the Republic. The 17^th Amendment needs to be repeals so that there is a more equitable balance of power in the Congress.

Of course that alone will not restore liberty to the States and the People respectively, but it will serve to repair the foundation of federal government that become shaky when the amendment was ratified. Some question the validity of that ratification, and I mention it here so my readers may further research and determine the veracity of it for themselves.

The education of the young was another part of society that became a “responsibility” of the federal government through the effective lobby of the corporate leaders in America, why felt by controlling what was taught and how student were “supposed” to think, it would benefit the corporate need for disciplined workers. By further standardizing education into primary and secondary, and then post-secondary further segregated from the former two, they made that college and University education expensive so that the average worker could not afford it for themselves or their children. It was an effective process to separate People into “classes.”

The premise of “life, liberty and property” became “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” where happiness became synonymous with having two weeks vacation after all the living expenses were paid, and the assumption of property ownership was unlawfully replaced with deeds issued by the corporate state. Think you “own” your house? Try refusing to pay property taxes and see how long you remain in possession of it. It is the State’s property so long as you pay your lease fees which are called property taxes.

Motor vehicles are not owned by the People, they are registered to the lessee, and the lessee pays fees to register said vehicle in their name as the responsible party.

Instead of protecting the religious rights of the People, the modern interpretation of the Constitution fools the People into thinking that banning any religious displays in public is protection. Under the guise of not wanting to offend others with contrary beliefs the rights to religious expression are thereby suppressed. That is unless of course, the religion happens to be Muslim and the political environment wants to appear tolerant by becoming intolerant to expression of all other faiths. It is this very thing that the Constitution was to prevent.

People step up and dare to challenge the system of delusion only to be beat back with anger, arrest, harassment, and ridicule. No suppression or retribution is unwarranted when the government and its puppet masters need to quell the uprising against them.

So we are left with this:

Obey the government no matter what they tell you or become a dissenter, an insurgent, a rebel, a terrorist. Regardless of how you feel, the government will choose what category you fall into based on the level of your resistance to slavery. They will determine whether you can be interred and “re-educated” or if you are threat to society because you cannot be reprogrammed, and therefore must be eliminated from being a disruptive influence on others.

Is America a Land of Cowards and Slaves?

There are no brave Americans. Americans are cowards. In the near future right around the corner from today, the real Americans are going to be wondering "just what the hell happened?" The Great Experiment is almost over. Not because the idea was ill formed or the concept flawed, but because the inheritors were asleep or worse yet, because the American People have been lulled into a state of passivity, due to little adjustments constantly being made in various ways over generations of families.

U.S. Citizens are out of work and hungry, if you ever believed, or cared, or not, the middle class is extinct. What were they? People that owned (no mortgage) their own house and the land upon which it was built and had the ability and skill to produce goods to support a family of four or more. They earned 4 to 5 times the minimum wage. As sub classes, Yuppies and Dinks were looked on unfavorably.

The rich greedy ego-maniacal ne'er-do-wells running for president, not to mention the fraud in office, have demonstrated in thoughts, words and actions their negligent, incompetent, and treasonous acts and are a disgrace against all statesmen. These pretenders to concern for the welfare of our Nation and its' Citizens have no regard for honor or integrity for statecraft of any stripe-and-color unless it is yellow-and-green and serves their own purposes. Romney, Gingrich and Santorum are liars, cowards, and traitors.

A true and real nightmare has been brought to life and is unfolding right in front of our eyes, and most Americans are blind to what is happening. When the average citizen has been asked directly what he thinks or how he feels, the most common response is he does not understand the question. This ignorance can be understood considering the scope and magnitude of the methods being employed by the enemy, but it can not continue or the result will be death. Some of the responses to questions about the war have been the responses of gibbering idiots.

War is being waged and engagements with America's Enemy are sporadic but in progress and America is failing. America has been fighting the war haphazardly because it only dimly recognizes engagements and does not well understand the war fronts at all. The war is raging on multiple fronts and America is loosing badly in various engagements.

This war is being waged for the total and complete annihilation of the very heart and soul of our Nation. The majority of American soldiers engaged on the ground can not recognize the enemy or identify its Leadership. The Soldiers that have been placed in harms way are not trained and poorly equipped for this war. The casualties are severe, and what little of the Army at the various fronts that have managed to survive, have been signaling desperately, by every method imaginable, across an expanse of time, for relief and supplies and those have been misinterpreted, and the requests have been ignored.

Make No Mistake! Your Way of Life and The Very Survival Of Your Families Is The Price That Will Be Paid In Full.

The known recent engagement cost has been calculated to be $27,000,000,000,000.00 dollars (27 Trillion) and is about to be increased by an additional war funding of $1,300,000,000,000.00 dollars (1.3 Trillion). The money that is being spent by our government is real and represents the entire current earnings (wages, salaries, investment earnings, and dividends) and the savings of American generations past, present, and generations to come. The country is in debt to the tune of "your Great Grandchildren" and it is almost to "your Great Great Grandchildren," which is just 80 years.

The cost of the war in current dollars has been roughly estimated in the Quintillions of dollars (example, $123,456,789,101,234,567,891.01) the actual cost will never be known.

The War consists of a multi-dimensional battle field that is global in nature. In addition to the normal fully integrated symmetrical and asymmetrical methods, newer Temporal Methods have been deployed for some time and the effects have been devastating because they were unrecognized by active American strategists and completely ignored by American Military strategists. The Military has been and is trained to engage combatants that look and act like themselves, not words, ideas and concepts from the past, present and future. The actual Geo-temporal war plans of the Enemy are not known, only the results are recognized and then not completely or clearly.

Marriage: Is it Legal? Or Is It Lawful?

I am constantly being bombarded with email and "snail" mail letters telling me to support laws that will define marriage as that union between one man and one woman. It is apparent that this issue is important to many Americans. But I would like to offer my thoughts on the subject and perhaps it will assist others in seeing this issue in a different light.

When I got married, I was REQUIRED to obtain a legal marriage certificate from the State of Pennsylvania. But my wife and I also were married according to our faith(s) and so in effect, I have two separate documents to declare our marriage. One in which we declared our love and devotion to the Creator and to the Universe and the other (with appropriate blood tests and fees) in accordance with statutes of the State of Pennsylvania.

And I feel that this extremely volatile debate over the "definition" of marriage can be settled in a few paragraphs.

Under many religions, it is not permissible for two members of the same sex to join in "holy matrimony" as that joining is based on the act of reproduction as the primary purpose of marriage. But in the legal sense of marriage, it has to do with sharing legal responsibility with respect to contracts, income(s) and taxes.  The former is mutually exclusive from the latter and that is as it should be, as the government has no lawful authority to make that former religious point comply with statutory law, as that would be a violation of the First Amendment in a very specific sense, that it would enforce a religion's definition of marriage on all people, regardless of their personal liberties to choose their own life and life style.

In the Mormon faith, a man may have several wives, but that is against the statutes or "color of law" in America. I have a solution:  For the purposes of legal recognition, one person may be "assigned" to the role of "spouse" as defined in tax laws and contract law. and the others are spouses under their common religious beliefs.  Will that work for you? Or change the statutes so as not to violate the practice of one's faith just because it is different than the majority of others. Polygamy harms no one. Should not a man who has multiple wives, be allowed to claim them and his children all as dependents for tax purposes? After all, he is taking on the burden of providing for them all, why punish someone who is responsible and the reward so many others who are not responsible for themselves?

So to settle the debate, I offer this: Any two (or more) people may join in a legal contractual union which will hold them all responsible for and to the terms of that contract. In other words, if one falls ill or dies, the other(s) would share the burdens and rewards that are requisite in all spousal relationships. As a compassionate and loving human being, isn't it wrong to deprive a person bereaving the loss of a loved one, simply because they are of the same sex?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Therefore, to establish any law regarding the religious institution of marriage is a violation of the First Amendment to the Constitution.  Every State that issues a certificate or license for marriage is also in violation of First Amendment Rights.

It is incumbent upon the individuals who choose to join themselves in a loving bond to determine what rights and privileges are to be enjoyed by that union and not the province of government to make that determination for them.
