The Upside Down Judge

I have a thing about test takers. They have good memories and no doubt, for the most part, study to retain that info. My view is that for the most part, only retain. I'm not talking about the hard science guys. I'm talking about lawyers, politicians, corporate managers, academics and that sort. They retain, but don't learn. I got frustrated by a lot of professors that pretty much fed back what they learned when they were getting their degrees. You know the academic promotion ladder, BS, MS, PhD, bull s**t, more s**t, piled higher and deeper. Then corporate managers that haven't ever done the work, tell those of us that actually do the work and get the job done, how to do our jobs. We get the job done in spite of them, yet they're willing to take the pay and credit.

We have one of these guys in the White House right now. He's in way over his head, and has no clue what to do but to stick to what ideas he regurgitated in school, only now he's in a position to ram it down our throats and enforce legal penalties if we resist. FDR did the same thing. All academics all the time. Clueless. Sorry my Liberal friends, going from 23% unemployment to 19% employment in two terms can't be measured as a success.

So now we have this gay judge, Vaughn Walker, that overruled a vote for a State Constitutional amendment, CA prop 8, that citizens have passed twice. Here's two basic arguments he presented in his ruling. I love it when these judges make something up and say they found a "fact". Please.

He made a statement in his ruling that gender is no longer important in a marriage. How'd he arrive at that conclusion? I'd like to point out first, that if it weren't for men and women doing what they do, he and his gay friends wouldn't exist. So show a little respect for the source of your life gay people. If I understand his befuddled "learned" thinking, this is because since men and women are equal in marriage, it doesn't make any difference if it's two men or two women because they are equal in marriage too? Say what? There are PETA people that contend animals and humans are equal, so I guess those guys could marry their dog based on that reasoning.

The other thing that stands out is this "finding of fact". Where'd he find it? The same place I suppose he found the idea that gender makes no difference in a marriage. Here's the "fact" he found: “Religious beliefs that gay and lesbian relationships are sinful or inferior to heterosexual relationships harm gays and lesbians.” He claims that those arguing for marriage of man and woman, only had testimony saying that homosexuality is wrong and a sin and harmful to society. He said there's no social scientific evidence to support it that's it's harmful to society, or children.

We have to ask, to the contrary, where's the social science that say those religious beliefs are harmful to society or children? Science is about equations, cause and effect, and he didn't offer any balance (see any scales of justice here?) in what little I could see that this knucklehead wrote. I can't wade through insufferable academic gobbledygook that obscures what's being said because if said straight out would be too stupid for any sensible person to take seriously.

To top it off, his ruling shows him to be an anti-Christian bigot. “Religious beliefs that gay and lesbian relationships are sinful or inferior to heterosexual relationships harm gays and lesbians.” Really? Those beliefs are harming gay people? The social science please. Gays make money, have political power, have relationships....and yet they still want more. They are willing to destroy the foundational institution of civilization for thousands of years to meet their own selfish needs. There's even some knucklehead advocating for "gay reparations" Truly?

Tying this into a pretty little test taker bow, we had a gay anti-Christian bigot overrule everybody else to give a sop to his gay anti-Christian bigot subculture.

Some good thoughtful writing about this here.
