Hugh Hewitt MEGA PING!!

I do not understand the timing of all this ...why did it not happen in the 8 years of Clinton?

Homosexual Agenda Ping.

Interesting argument and useful examples of theoretical lawbreaking by elected officials.

However, I disagree with this statement:

"The mayor of San Francisco has done a terrible thing by popularizing the idea that conscience should trump law."

Conscience does trump law - in Germany at one time it was legal to slaughter Jews in concentration camps. It is currently legal to slaughter babies in the womb. It has been legal to do many evil, immoral things, and I don't consider it wrong to protest immoral, evil but legal actions.

It wasn't conscience that motivated Thug/Clown Noisome to enact his "gay" marriage circus. It was his mental illness, cupidity, greed, lust for power, and who knows what else. It certainly wasn't conscience, although he may claim it was.

Let me know if anyone wants on/off this (very busy) ping list.

For the last few weeks, the arguement I've heard from the Liberals is that "gay marriage" should be a State issue, not a Federal one. Yet, so far, it is Cities, not States who have issues "gay marriage certificates."

I've yet to hear whether California, New York, or Oregon will recognize the "marriage certificates" issued by these rogue mayors.

I wonder if this "in your face" could split the homosexual community. Civil unions have been brushed aside to accommodate the wishes of extremists.

G'evening, Cincy :-)

Bump!

this is because states have allowed CITIES and COUNTIES autonomy in how they administer and interpret state laws.

the homos wouldn't have tried this coordinated effort UNLESS they had a plan to carry it out.

in the final analysis, it will become a state's rights issue, just like legal prostitution in Nevada. It's legal in some counties, not others, and a license to run a brothel in Nevada is NOT recognized in TEXAS.

The Blue states are (defacto) seceeding from the Red states over this and a host of other issues. The left and east coasts are (as you no doubt remember) the "blue" states.

the us senate has already indicated it will NOT support a constitutional amendment to fight this. So it of necessity MUST become a state to state, very costly battle of wills.

Liberals will litigate us to exhaustion over this, then their other pet peeve issues. Welcome to the new millenia.

[Fledermaus]

Maybe it's time we conservatives get lawless and ugly and demand anarchy!

Okay, okay...I'm always in the minority on that idea. Too many "Death Wish" movies I guess! ;-)

Hi JohnHuang2!

[buccaneer]

hey bat,if the feds only did what the constitution allowed them to do,we wouldn't have this problem!

I found myself explaining my motives to the principle in igh school when he was given the speech that I had written about the essay on civil disobedience by thoreau.it seems I was being accused of inciting a riot. but If he had actually read the article he would know that I was esposing a noviolent resolution to an internal frustration.

nothing wrong with civil disobedience in itself. afterall thats the foundation of the creation of this great country.

there will come a time in this country when civil disobedience may be necessary to return the country to the governance of the people. by the people and for the people.

the present state of affairs is just part of the slow progress that is necessary to fine tune the rules of government that this world is to live by. If things swing to far one way it may become necessary to impliment extreme measures to right the wrongs. if those wrongs can indeed be righted.

my world is not black and white but has many shades of gray.

[tessalu]

This will lead to anarchy with no one obeying the law.
Elected officials should be jailed when they have sworn to uphold they law, and yet do not do so. They are liars right off of the bat.

[searchandrecovery]

I am currently not obeying any laws, and see no need to do so in the future (unless I might get caught). I kinda like this new Lawless America thing, I really do. Get away with as much as you can - everyone else is.

You're not too sharp in the punctuation department, Chum.

Now go ahead and jump all over me for bringing it up.
