Eventually we all get tired. Yes, the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. However the flavor of freedom is soured when every minute of every day is taken up with fighting back the leftists. And lets face it we are fighting by their rules (weird quasi-legal mumbo jumbo) on their field (courts packed with generations of liberal judges). A reasonable person might ask: what is more likely to strengthen families, for me to try, probably vainly, to get some set of liberal judges to overturn the current set who say that sodomy is the same as marraige or for me to take my kids camping and shooting this weekend? Or to spend the time helping my company turn the corner. Or a near infinite amount of other things. So, like many others I've made that choice.

Every so often I get a twinge of regret, but honestly I think I've made a pretty good decision.

Personally I'm looking forward to the 2004 elections, and beyond. Perhaps then we can begin to fix the courts. As things stand today it's a waste to spend too much time on them. Recalls are good. The one here in Oregon failed to oust the evil supervisors who approved gay marraige. There is not a consensus against this in Portland, in fact it it probably approved by a majority.

Precisely. And I argue that the personalistic ethic of the New Testament produces a Last Judgement wherein fathers are not responsible for how they responded to liberal judges a thousand miles away but will be judged for how they responded to their sons in their own households.
