How Same Sex Marriage Both Liberates and Protects us all.

For No Kings Day in 2025. 

Todd A. Marshall, put up on https://oldhippytodd.blogspot.com/

This story starts with how rulers and monarchs give us, or allow us, protection, but bind us, take our lives and property, in return for military protection.

So, must we give our lives, our children, our everything, to a monarch?

Now it's how, we allow and give limited powers to a ruler for 4 years, we do not give  absolute power of a monarchy.

How does Conservatism get something to conserve. We get our power from the country.

We need conservation to have conservatism.  And we need liberated people, life, liberty, happiness and nature.  

Anyone who has seen this country for themselves, 'sea to shining sea', 'redwood forests to gulf stream waters' realizes how much we have to conserve.  This is what it is we are conserving and defending. And it's part of our culture that we protect.

How does liberation protect us, how is it achieved and expressed?

We allow liberty and freedom of belief in any god, but we liberate ourselves from the bindings, the slavery of monarchs, gods and absolute rulers.  

So the story is now, how do we achieve this liberty and it's power to conserve us.

There are moments in history where we achieve this liberty and still conserve and protect our land, country, and nature, and our own nature.  Moments in history that often end in war, but not necessarily.

Do we need a god or a king to be conserved?  We have our land, ourself, our forests, mountains, valleys, deserts, and waters. Our nature, animals and plants, and our peoples.  Is that not enough to conserve?

We combined the history of native americans, african, asians, and europeans into one, even if violently,  but not necessarily violently, and now we are here with "No Kings Day".  The final chapter of this story.

Ask ourselves, why we need gods and monarchs, bindings, servitude?  It is to give us life beyond our own, to protect our multi-lifetime cultures and livelihoods.  Much of this has been destroyed. African American, Native American, Nature itself in many ways.  Must our rulers be conservative religious absolute monarchs?  To give us 'everlasting life'?

Or, alternatively, must we have liberation to be our natural selves, free of bindings.  We must ask ourselves, does nature allow for our freedom, does it sanction and protect our absolute freedom to love who we choose?  How is this accomplished?

We can ask our knowledge of nature to guide the answer.  Does sexuality determine love and give us the ability to marry, to bind each other in love to each other?  Or does nature do that, irregardless of the bindings of an imagined male-female polar biology?

So why and how does this particular freedom follow those other liberations? Why does the freedom to love who we choose, and be sanctioned in marriage, provide for our common good, freedom from monarchs and gods?  And the protection of our lands and nature? 

We know the answer but we hide from it's logic, sometimes, uncomfortable in the light of a new but clear day.  We acquire the strength of knowing what's right.  It is stronger than anyone's particular belief, god or monarch, or individual culture. White, brown, black, or any color in between and inclusively.

To do these things, to conserve, to be conservative, requires truth and we know there is one truth, which is our freedom to protect and conserve without rulers or monarchs, And...to choose our own god, or gods.  We cannot sanction oppression by any gods or monarchs because we have the liberated truth, the freedom of pan-sexuality or any personal belief, life, private and public.  We reject serfdom, servitude, slavery to any creed other than this one: freedom.  And this is the source of our absolute strength. 

End of story.
