"The day is coming, sooner than most think, when we will each have to choose whether to obey God or man, dictatorial bureaucrats or the Constitution, tyrannical judges or our own consciences.
"The sooner we grasp this truth the better: simply because a court makes a ruling does not make it right.
"Because a law exists is not sufficient reason to obey it."

The progressive agenda is everything the old Communist Party stood for as it exploded its own power for the purpose of 'owning' everything to insure the survival of the state at eh expense of the people.
The republican agenda is so watered down it's hard to tell what they stand for anymore.
I do agree with the presumption of the author that it has come time to refuse to obey flagrantly unconstitutional judicial orders. Once more people refuse to bow to the will of the state, the power of the state will decrease dramatically, even if the process is painful for a time.

I truly believe the the current government and federal courts desperately want to force an uprising for the purpose of enacting draconian marshal law, and giving themselves a free shot at confiscation of everything from firearms to gold and silver. The rate that the courts are destroying liberty has increased to the point that the USA will soon remind many people of the old USSR, where your not even your thoughts are your own property.

A few years ago, I would have thought this was tin foil hat stuff, but now I think it is reality. If Hillary wins we will see a Supreme Court packed with far left, radical, anti (legal) gun judges. Our 2A rights will be neutered as well as other natural human rights. Then people will have to make some hard decisions. I think most will just cave in to the new USSR. The Feds could make legal gun owners criminals with the stroke of a pen. Hillary has already said she wants Australian style MANDATORY gun confiscation. What more do we need to hear?

Not if we can elect Republican congressmen with spines who will simply refuse to confirm.
Balance of power and all that.

I've been politically active since 1980. I worked on Reagan's campaign, and a number of other presidential and local campaigns. Hell, I supported "Gopher for Governor" (Fred Grandy) when I lived in Iowa, as well as Alan Keyes and Phil Graham in 1996.
I have never seen the collapse of rational thought as much as I have seen in the last couple of years, and the risk that this 240 year old country is at at this point in time.
A 68 year old severely flawed and possibly criminally indicted, power hungry political animal and a 74 year old avowed Socialist, both of whom are the epitome of career politicians, have the extremely good chance of beating a 69 year old multi billionaire liberal who acts like a juvenile, for POTUS.
I think I'm done.

It is very depressing isn't it? I have been politically active in Republican politics on and off since the early 80's also. I worked for two Governors for a while. I have never seen anything like this before. I have thought this way since Obama got elected in 2008. Now, after 7 1/2 years of absolute nonsense we are looking at four more years with Hillary. I don't see Trump beating her. The sheep are brainwashed, and weak.

Or maybe the sheep are beginning to become fed up. If so, then people and municipalities, school districts, counties and states will start to ignore orders from DC and when the federal branch becomes insane with anger and jealousy things might start to turn back towards what is right.
I'm counting on a lot of folks finding their testicles in time to stop the complete annihilation of freedom.

Consider anecdotes like the behavior of people during hurricanes (don't evacuate, and then bleat (or demand) help. Or the woman who sat in her car for more than 3 hours waiting for some free water when a watermain broke in Massachusetts. Consider the people who want the illusion of security (e.g., TSA, and the various gun confiscation schemes) and the idiot judges that allow them.
I think you have more faith in people than I do... maybe it's because I live in taxachusetts surrounded by morons who will vote for hillary or whatever slug the DNC puts on the ballot.

I hope you are right. I hope there are enough of us who are fed up, and won't take it anymore. County, and state bureaucrats just want to keep their cushy jobs, and pensions. The politicians just want to stay in office. They won't risk that by putting up a fight with the Feds. They don't even know what freedom, and liberty is anymore.
