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 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.

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.

"Gay couples are common in large, urban areas, so their public affection hardly causes a ripple in many parts of America, but other parts of the country are scandalized."
I'm sure their deviant public displays of affection, prompted by another symptom of their mental illness, exibitionism, doesn't cause a ripple in the morally dead areas of the country, but in areas that still have enough of a moral conscience not to engage in pubic displays of affection themeselves, it is a scandal.

"Societies cannot endure without agreed upon rules of law and their uniform application. No serious person believes that the charade in San Francisco is legal, but neither has it been stopped by those charged with upholding the laws of the state.
The folks at the extreme of every issue have noticed: The best offense is aggressive, unilateral action even if it involves lawbreaking. The best defense will be the videotape from San Francisco." - Hugh Hewitt
