The political firestorm in California from the passage of Proposition 8 exposes the shocking truth of how liberals in our country are slowly making the United States Constitution irrelevant. There is a clear path they follow every time to force their beliefs, even after they have been ruled against. California voters passed a law to ban gay marriages. If you watch closely, you’ll see the extreme left walk down this path.

Declare the issue (the idea stage)

In this step, the introduction to the issue takes place. It starts many years prior (sometimes decades) trying to grow support for the issue. This is the lost puppy dog stage. Often lost puppy dogs looking for a home (acceptance) accept the beliefs in exchange for friendship. The more they speak out for the issues, the more their new friends embrace them. This often takes place on college campuses or downtown cultural centers. The owner of these new puppy dogs form the rhetoric. The lost puppy dogs look to be accepted and spread the message. They are vocal, and they begin their organizing from a small group. At this stage, the idea is strongly objected by the status quo. Society looks on this small movement as nothing more than a small menace.

Start organizing (the people stage)

As the group gains more lost puppies, word begins to spread quicker. At this point, they write manifestos to promote the idea and the end goal. The movements start spreading over larger cities and universities. At this point, the status quo might hear trivial points about the movement, but life it too busy to consider the implications if their ideology.

Introduction of ideas in the mainstream (the lecture stage)

These ideas eventually find themselves in lecture halls, first on liberal campuses like the University of California Berkeley. They may start off as small discussion groups every Thursday night at the student union; perhaps, at the local coffee shop after the open-mic poetry reading. The movement gains more momentum as the ideas start small on campuses, and then become discussions in lecture hall. The lost puppy dogs now are college students often paying for an identity and believing they are learning the art of critical thought by rebelling against the evil machine. Of course, most of them are in college because of the evil corporate machine that lends money to these kids to go to college. Once it comes out of a college professors mouth, it is now gospel for the minds full of mush who sit in awe of a PhD.

I remember sitting in Bert Helm’s philosophy class as an 18 year-old college student. I wasn’t in awe, I just wondered how many drugs he did in the 1960s. I was smart enough to know what psychobabble was at a young age. I remember the kids who always sat on the first row in his class. They never missed a class. It was total infatuation with the babbling professor whose discussions varied from politics, to a monkey who could sign obscenities with its hands, to two rocks that could pull together through time (that lost me). I spent my first hour of college in Dr. Helm’s lecture, and I gained powerful insight about the reality of college thanks to him. Of course, if you ask him, I doubt he would approve of my insight. The core view doesn’t tolerate dissent in these classrooms.

College kids graduate believing many of these views are correct or else they wouldn’t have taught them. Now these ideas move out into the mainstream and become more accepted thanks to a piece of paper known as a college diploma. I have one of these pieces of paper and it came at a cost because I was an independent thinker who often challenged professors. My political science teacher, who wore bow ties every day, hated me and the kid that sat next to me. We never backed down from our conservative beliefs, and we paid a price for it.

Watchdogs

Little puppies grow up to be watchdogs. They scan the Internet, journals, and newspapers for materials that discredit their cause, and they go out of their way to force those who expose their farce to back down. When the challenge to back down goes ignored, the watchdogs then launch a campaign to destroy the lives of those who challenge their ideas. They dig dirt by pulling public records, digging through trashcans, and befriending associates of the person. Do you not believe this is happening? I can prove it is in three words–Joe the plumber.

With each watchdog victory, the once radical idea starts appearing not so radical to the mainstream. Those who fought the radical change are looked down upon as if they were insane to begin with. Watchdogs destroy lives. It’s their purpose. (Bloggers beware. This battle is coming to your screen. Remember Obama’s 3.1 million electronic army?)

The mainstream media

I used the example of Joe the plumber as someone who has had to deal with the vicious watchdogs’ wrath. The watchdogs leak their findings to the media, who often report these findings. The media’s defeated their own super-ego (the aspect of personality that holds all of our internalized moral standards-Sigmund Freud) in exchange for shock journalism. Without regard to a person’s life, they report it without caring of the implications and costs to the person under attack by the watchdogs.

The watchdog and media stages are where liberals begin winning these battles. Victory is still a ways away. If they can win the minds of the status quo through the mainstream media, the battles nearly over. If they can’t win the minds of the status quo, they head to…

The courts

The liberals of the 1960s who fought the establishment, graduated college and law school, and passed the Bar exam are now running many of the nations courts. Without regard to the Constitution, they now legislate from the bench. The left wing has become dependent on the rulings of the court to force their agendas on Americans.

Consider this. In the unlikely event that a Pelosi and Reid run Congress allows oil drilling in ANWAR and offshore, the environmentalist will find every animal, every plant, every rock, and every stream that they feel will be threatened. Law suits are filed before the oil rigs burn their first drop of diesel. They will stall and use whatever tactics they can to hold the case up in court. Meanwhile, no drilling is going on.

The courts have become far too powerful and the checks the Constitution defines are not holding the judges to their given duties. Even on the nation’s highest court, the Constitution is often ignored in the decisions. This should alert every one of us. The Constitution limits government, and government officials have found ways to increase their power without any challenges.

These situations are happening. Follow the complete path of gay marriage in the United States, and I assure you the path that leads to the issue as it stands today has taken a path similar to that above. It’s necessary to study this path so we are prepared when these issues controversially unfold suddenly before our eyes. These issues weren’t sudden. They have been building for years. There is a war going on out there against our Constitution, and for the right to win this war, you better take seriously the small movements when they form–not when they are well funded.
