Part of the hanged man’s letter from “The Oxbow Incident”
“There are some other good men too, only they don’t realize what they’re doing.
They’re the ones I feel sorry for, because it’ll be over for me...
...but they’ll have to go on remembering for the rest of their lives.
A man just can’t take the law into his own hands and hang people...
...without hurting everybody in the world...
...because then he’s not just breaking one law, but all laws.
Law is a lot more than words you put in a book...
...or judges or lawyers or sheriffs you hire to carry it out.
It’s everything people ever have found out about justice...
...and what’s right and wrong.
It’s the very conscience of humanity.
There can’t be any such thing as civilization...
...unless people have a conscience...
...because if people touch God anywhere...
...where is it except through their conscience?”
The President has no right to divert our tax dollars to procedures that are against our Christian values. That is why we have elected representatives. Our representatives take into account the values of their constituents. To short circuit this system is unconstitutional and a breach in the President’s oath to uphold the Constitutuion.
Impeachment time, my friends!
That is a great line and a great description of the "compromising" schemed up by Obama.
Did you see the Krauthammer and Steyn articles? Both are excellent on this issue.

Okay, so our Founders “bequeathed to us a legislative system that is supposed to pass laws with the consent of the governed through their elected representatives, rather than being governed by executive branch imperial edicts passed down from on high.”
Can anyone ever take that away with a legalistic shell game of unjust laws? If the Founders are our true governmental authorities, when and where do we begin to ignore the impostors? Rahab the prostitute broke the “law” and lied about the spies to her “authorities” and wound up in the faith Hall of Fame in Hebrews 11:31.
Rahab. The prostitute. HELOOOOOOO?!?!?!
Blind obedience to authority is not Scriptural (general obedience is). Law is a useful gift from God for restraining evil on earth, but when it becomes a tool for codifying evil as good?
I wish more Freeper believers would begin having a conversation on this topic because it’s needed. The fretful, indignant approach ain’t cutting it in this era because the authorities are not listening (thus violating their oaths they took before the Founders and God).
I think the author gave obama too much credit in allowing obama's ignorance as an excuse. Obama knew very well he was trashing the Constitution...he simply did not give a damn....he thinks he is a king.
I am so glad to see that Baptists are speaking out against the tyrant! All Christian churches need to be on guard against the muslim tyrant in the White House.
Our representatives in Congress are not protecting us from Obama’s tyranny.

More like a dismissive middle finger.....
The strange thing is that Obama doesn't seem to care whether many are happy with him or not. For some reason, he seems to have passed from someone who feigns to care about the electorate to someone who doesn't.
He either must think that he isn't going to get reelected, so it doesn't matter whether the electorate is happy with him or not, or that he is going to continue no matter what he does, because it isn't up to the electorate anyway. If he thinks that he is an imperial ruler, I wonder why he is so confident that he is. It seems to me, either he is deluded, or acting upon and knows something that we don't.
