We let these tiny micro-minorities, like atheists, push us around and bully us–and where is it written that we have to?
Oh, that’s right–liberals think it’s in the Constitution. Article IV: “Small, aggressive minorities will make demands on the majority that the majority must obey.” Something like that. Just waiting for some “judge” to discover it.
When we stand up to these little tinpot tyrants, they back down.
These days, judges don’t even pretend to find their mandates anywhere in the Constitution. They just bang their gavels, yell “Unconstitutional,” and forbid what they don’t like or demand what they want. And everyone — right down to the President of the United States, it sometimes seems — tugs his or her (or xir?) forelock and obeys. Or appeals the decision to the next judge, who similarly bangs the gavel, yells “Unconstitutional,” and forbids or demands.
In the end, the majority rules, and in the US, there are still a lot of devout believers.
That end hasn’t been very easy to see in recent years.
Sad, but true.
Wasn’t the last time we stood up to tyrants the Boston Tea Party? Their descendants have descended. Who will stand up before it’s a crime to do so? It’s rhetorical.
