I seem to remember a situation out in San Francisco in late 2003 or early 2004 in which the Mayor took it upon himself to issue marriage licenses to same sex 'couples' in direct contravention to existing state and federal law.

If memory serves, nobody did much of anything about it. No threats of throwing Mayor Newsom in jail. No railings from among conservatives or anybody else about his duty under the constitution to enforce the law. It's really sad and hilarious at the same time. If the left wants something they always use the law, to run over the law in order to get it. When the Mayor of SF was illegally issuing marriage licenses to gays they saw his lawless acts as acceptable civil rights activism. But, if Kim Davis seems to lack nothing where a viable defense is concerned (especially in a state whose legislature has yet to act on the matter) the left demands she do her job as they see it.

In any case, we see where sitting on our conservative hands has gotten us. Now we see the entirety of the Democratic Party picking and choosing what they will enforce and what they will ignore. Dream Act anyone?

Good post and the "bottom line" is contained in the first sentence of the last paragraph. Conservatives in general and Christian Conservatives in particular have been derelict in that they have done nothing and let amoral liberals destroy our traditional laws.

Above all, I blame the preachers and those who sit in their pews every time the door to the church is unlocked. The preachers wax on eloquently driving home points that we have all heard over and over for years but they never address the moral issues that are destroying our country for fear of insulting someone. If you doubt this, just wait and see what your preacher talks about tomorrow. Personally, I don't need any more sermons on St. Paul in prison, Daniel in the lion's den, the bravery of Moses, or the necessity of tithing. However, I would like a good sermon on the premeditated murder of the innocents by the women carrying them and the desecration of the sacrament of marriage.

But, even with relevant sermons, one must remember that actions speak louder than words. All these words haven't saved one baby from slaughter, have they?
