I dug out the hazmat suit and hip waders to go see how the Freepers are reacting to the Texas ruling on gay marriage. You can set your watch by their derp:

Why does Texas have to listen to a Federal Judge?
—

There is no such thing as gay marriage. There is a nationwide movement by liberals and other freaks to redefine a word. But there is no such thing as gay “marriage”.
—

Is it illegal to horse whip a judge in Texas? Maybe not horse whip, but beat some sense into him, her or it?
—

Our constitution is being usurped each and every damn day! This president, and all the damn libs in San Antonio need to be arrested
—

Did they rule on polygamy, incest or plural marriage? Why not? There are no rules when there is no standard. All “marriages” are equal. Right? Otherwise, the court is denying “rights”, right?
—

Texas needs to secede. This is tyranny, top down. I will gladly come to Texas and join secessionist forces. We do not need to remain beholden to the Barack Stalin thugs.
—

Texas sends more in taxes to the fed.gov than it receives.

We have more than enough income from oil and gas than we need (and it is expanding at a rapid rate and will continue to do so for quite a while).

We have ample agriculture, so we can feed ourselves…plus we have a bunch of fishing off the coast and in our many lakes.

We certainly can defend ourselves - the federal equipment that our taxes paid for would be perfectly adequate. We can build nukes at the Pantex plant, rockets to sit them on in Houston, and have at least 50 million guns (and people who know how to use them).

We can thus feed and take care of ourselves, and have shown an ability to do just that for well over 175 years. Frankly, I don’t know why we remain in the decaying and disintegrating Union. I’m sure that several of the surrounding states would join us - heck, we’d make a pretty good-sized country, one with traditional American values that would prosper and grow mighty, while Lieberal-land on the coasts and the upper Midwest would continue to sink into the muck and mire.
—

Texas should secede if it intends to remain American.
—

“The problem is these liberal local judges and court clerks WILL defy the Governor or AG and issue these licenses.”

Even so, that would only occur in the few Democratic cities in Texas.

Maybe Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio, but that would be about it.
—

And so…

The Texas voters will provide a resolution for the next cycle that says

the Federal Court decision is OF NO EFFECT in the State of Texas according to the voice of the people.

Damn. Who do we have to draft this resolution?
—

Yep. There is no more “united states”. There is now one state with one set of laws. I still contend the only solution is to go our own way.
—

I contend that if we go our own way, that they will come and take it back by any means necessary.

The only solution is a complete cleansing of all government and a reset.
—

What is the rational basis then, to prohibit polygamy, bestiality?

Do you know the beastiality laws now are not based on morality? Only animal cruelty. If you are kind to your dog why can’t you marry it?
