Blame elected officials - not the government workers that have sworn to carry out these laws. quote a block of text

Sorry, but I urge everyone here to do exactly the opposite: DO blame the narc, the EPA weasel, the bureucrat. Make their existence miserable. Why? Because government employees, especially those in enforcement functions, have a strong influence over laws. Police and corrections officers' unions have a lot to say about the WoD. If these people are made paraiahs - if their families become outcast in the community - they will add powerful voices for reform.

Very true. I know IRS people won't admit to working there at cocktail parties.

Nailed it. Nice job.

Not half the power liberal democrats exercise through PFLAG, Rainbow Coalition, and other "private" organizations.

Oh yeah, add the libertarian bean-brains to the pro-liberal democrat alliance. Go spend your money at Home Depot--you and zon. Make Papa Marx proud.

Don't many federal bureaucracies have the ability to make "rules" which have the force of law?

As an additional add-on to your comments, surely these fed employees can read....like perhaps the Constitution. They apparently don't believe the Constititution applies to them cause they're 'entitled to live at the public trough--it might interfere with a paycheck and retirement or other perks.

If its unconstitutional, these fedgov workers are not friends of the Country--they are enemies of the Constitutional Republic just as sure as all socialists are.

I'll certainly be looking forward to hearing more about Home Depot's decision. So far, I say bravo. Why don't we have a lot of principled businesses who finally say, we're tired of all the fedgov rules and regs that add so much to the costs of business that its choking our nation, and that they refuse to sell to fedgov until such time as the fedgov honors the Constitution.
