I give up guys. It’s not that they respectfully disagree about SSM. It’s that they have to view supporting SSM as being akin to supporting the continuation of legalized slavery. It’s not that they have fault with judicial activism. They have to equate it to the Holo-fucking-cast. I’m not a partisan person but these guys can’t be reasoned with. Best we can hope for is the GOP for to implode and a new sensible center-right party to replace in it in the ashes.

As I and others have said before on several occasions here on LGF, these people cannot be reasoned with. They are not arguing/governing in good faith. They are extremist, religious fanatics that fully and wholly believe that they are engaged in a holy war, one that they must win in order for the US to retain its status as God’s Favorite Country. They refuse to compromise because there can be no compromise against the commands of god. Calling them “The American Taliban” is not a joke, it’s an accurate description. If they had their way, our children would be forced to worship the christian god against their will in public schools and the US government would acknowledge the christian god as its source of law. This is already the case in some parts of the country, notably the deep south — for example, in Georgia it is illegal to purchase alcohol before noon on Sunday (this is an improvement over the previous version, which banned alcohol sales entirely on Sunday). There is absolutely no basis for this law, in any rational capacity, other than adherence to the christian religion.

These people cannot be reasoned with. They cannot be compromised with. They should not be tolerated. Their endgame is to turn this nation into a christian theocracy.
