Agreed. However, taking a stand on FreeRepublic is not enough. There is nothing more effective than word-of-mouth advertising. In this case, the advertising should be for the position of maintaining a strong set of American values about a democratic republic and stopping the judicial tyranny. This stand should be before our neighbors and coworkers. Unfortunately, many companies (I know I used to work for one) demand "tolerance" of the homosexual agenda at the expense of continued employment. Therefore, speaking before coworkers can be career suicide.

True, you gotta do some fishing, a lot of it befire you can find out which co-workers are your friends and those that are not. I'm ruling that out since I need my job. ;) I guess the best venues are local online groups and your Church/Synagogue. I guess find out who is running and who is for and against all this homsosexual stuff.

I wonder what it would be like if I became supervisor on the township and started passing out amateur radio licenses, I bet the Feds would be on me quick.

Your supposition is probably correct. However, it is also illustrative of another type of tyranny.

We have so many laws now with the advent of administrative agencies, that is almost impossible for a citizen to avoid violating some law or the other. Consequently, the law enforcement officials become selective about enforcement actions. The selective enforcement is effectively an anathema to the rule of law. Selective enforcement effectively substitutes the "judgment of man" about which violations to pursue for the judgment of law.

In Hammurabi's time the entire legal code could be engraved on a single stone tablet. The Ten Commandments took up only two tablets with the Bible being only one bound book. Today the Tax Code (a single legal concept) has many more pages than the entire Bible. The rest of the legal code fills libraries. Think about it!
