The U.S. Supreme Court's disastrous decision on gay marriage marks the end of the rule of law in America. The Constitution is no longer a "living" document, as the "progressive" wing of the court has always referred to it. The Constitution is a dead document.
In the near term, citizens can expect previously unnoticed "rights" to be discovered left and right by five fallible, opinionated, self-indulgent human beings whose decisions have been placed beyond the legislative process – just as the founders warned. America will not survive this onslaught against "the laws of nature and nature's God."
This idea did not begin with Thomas Jefferson. It went back to Marcus Tullius Cicero:
"True law is right reason in agreement with nature; it is of universal application, unchanging and everlasting; it summons to duty by its commands, and averts from wrongdoing by its prohibitions. … It is a sin to try to alter this law, nor is it allowable to repeal any part of it, and it is impossible to abolish it entirely. We cannot be freed of its obligations by senate or people, and we need not look outside ourselves for an expounder or interpreter of it. And there will not be different laws at Rome and at Athens, or different laws now and in the future, but one eternal and unchangeable law that will be valid for all nations and all times, and there will be one master and ruler, that is God, over us all, for he is the author of this law, its promulgator, and its enforcing judge."
Note well the last three words of Cicero's quote: "its enforcing judge." No nation has ever escaped God's judgment, and none ever will. America's overwhelming problems stem from the destruction of the family structure and the protection it provided to young and old alike.
TRENDING: America's most dangerous demographic
God could be an old man asleep at the switch, and judgment would arrive every bit as reliably as if he were actively hurling thunderbolts down upon us for our lawlessness.
Underneath the left's golden cobblestones of good will, not far down the road they are taking America, is the left's utopia. You will come to know it as hell. Underneath the left's pretty face, it has only ever been about raw, naked power. They view humanity as endlessly malleable and themselves as the sculptor. Having ascended to the levers of statist power from the institutions they first corrupted, they now intend to use that power to reshape men, women and children into their own creation.
Mao, Stalin, Hitler – all were leftist icons who murdered tens of millions of their own people and counted the cost as being acceptable in order to build the new man for the new age. Nothing but blood, tears and destruction ever came of it.
Thus Glenn Beck was correct when he observed, "These are not enemies of man. They are enemies of God."
Only two paths now lie ahead: repentance or destruction.
I have little doubt which path America will travel.
