Samson's Jawbone

by Glenn A. Griffis. On May 31, 2005 a great mystery was solved. As many students of politics and history had long suspected Mark A. Felt was, Deep Throat. He was the secret source of information in Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein's Watergate investigations that turned the public against President Richard Nixon. Among other things Felt informed Woodward and Bernstein of a secret campaign-dirty-tricks fund in Nixon's re-election campaign office to finance operations like the break in to the Democratic National Committee's offices in the Watergate building. What Felt did not know was how much Nixon knew about the campaign skulduggery. Felt famously told Woodward and Bernstein “follow the money.” Woodard and Bernstein kept their source's identity from everyone except their editor, Ben Bradley, until Felt came forward personally near the end of his life .

The Supreme Court of the United States has a history of unjust, unconstitutional or political decisions. It has been the tool liberals have used for accomplishing their agenda, which cannot pass either through direct vote or legislation for most of this century.

Personally I was unmoved by the decision as it was exactly what I expected from this court. I have predicted that  the court was poised to make this decision  and have clearly stated that gay marriage stands in opposition to Christian teaching and will destroy our culture.

Church leaders are warning of inevitable persecution. There is little hope for reversal of this decision through politics or civil disobedience. This post on  Samson's Jawbone will...
