The Supreme Court, once again, has trumpeted the big
lie of the 14th Amendment by conferring fabricated rights to subset groups,
this time gay people.
Liberals would have us believe the equal protection
clause confers unlimited rights to aggrieved minorities. According to them, equal rights means just
that – equal rights. Their sense of superiority
will compel them to tell you to “go read the Constitution. It’s right there in the 14th
Amendment!”
I have a question.
If the 14th Amendment granted equal protection to all citizens
of the United States, then why were southerners denied the right to vote and
hold public office? I thought this was a
basic human right.
If the 14th Amendment meant what liberals
say it’s supposed to mean, vanquished southerners wouldn’t have been treated as
criminals. But what am I talking
about? Liberals know this, right? After all, they’ve read the Constitution and
particularly the 14th Amendment.
Their certitude surely doesn’t belie ignorance.
Amendment XIV
Section 1.
All persons born or
naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are
citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state
shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities
of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person
within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Section 2.
Representatives shall
be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers,
counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not
taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors
for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in
Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a state, or the members of the
legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of
the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in
rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced
in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the
whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such state.
Section 3.
No person shall be a
Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice
President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or
under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress,
or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature,
or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the
Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or
rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But
Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Section 4.
The validity of the
public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred
for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection
or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any
state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of
insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss
or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall
be held illegal and void.
Section 5.
The Congress shall
have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this
article.
