Offsite Post: ‘State Cultural Levees vs the Woke Federal Ocean’

 

As the Louisiana Legislature’s 2021 regular session winds down, it is a good time to think about what lies ahead for Louisiana.  And things look pretty grim:  The assault on the normal Christian family is intensifying, with Kohl’s supporting polyamory and polygamy in a new ad, and with the well-known children’s show Blue’s Clues now celebrating bisexuals, pansexuals, and more.

Without healthy families (in all the senses of that word, spiritually, mentally, physically, economically, etc.), Louisiana literally has no future.  There ain’t enough STEM classes in all the world to compensate for the loss of that pillar.  But do those who have a duty to protect Louisianans from all those who would do them harm – our State government officials – understand the critical moment we are in?  They don’t seem to, if their antics surrounding common sense bills like Sen Mizell’s SB156 regarding trans athletes is any indicator.

They want to keep on living in the good ol’ days, in which the main pursuit of Louisiana government was pouring out a pile of petrodollars onto a big game board in the Capitol and doling it out for this parish’s civic center and that representative’s hometown festival, while passing some socially conservative legislation here and there to keep the overly religious rednecks docile.  But the calm, balmy, Boss Hogg days are over.  The Woke revolutionaries are here, and they want blood (sometimes literally).  The State government cannot continue to function like it is 1982.  Her officials must act decisively on the cultural front if they want to preserve Louisiana’s families.

Two of the key weapons wielded by the cultural demolitionists are the US Supreme Court’s Obergefell and Bostock decisions.  Take away those rulings, and Christian families will be much more secure than they are now.  And that is exactly what Louisiana’s State government – be it the Governor, the Legislature, or the Supreme Court – should be focused on doing:  nullifying those rulings, making them inoperable in Louisiana.

This is nothing new in the union; States have often ignored federal rulings when they determined them to be unlawful.  Connecticut has just repeated the action with regard to no-knock warrants.

However, such measures are not just helpful in a utilitarian sense, they are necessary.  The whole nature of the Philadelphia charter is for the federal government to gradually absorb the powers that remain with the States, consolidating them into a single entity ruled from the federal capital.  Brutus predicted this quite clearly during the ratification debates:
