You're not going to like the answer, but yes...
1 Peter 2:18 Servants, be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are unreasonable.

I would have to argue that this passage does not apply to us at all. For one thing, we are not servants and the government is not our master. For another thing, we are not just talking "unreasonable", we are talking immoral and anti-God. If you can find a passage which says "Obey your government even when they turn against Me" then I could see your argument.
