Misinformed and Misled: How a Distorted Perspective of Rights Is Leading America into Tyranny, Part 8
Initiating Reform
7/1/16
In this eighth and final post in this series, we examine the cultural divide between those contending for positive rights and expanding government, and those vying for negative rights and limited government. Slipping further and further away from the principles our Founders embraced, we’ve moved ever closer to tyranny. Yet there is hope. We need to see an uprising of the people, one like the uprising we saw in the Civil Rights movement—and one like that which gave birth to our country in the first place. Are you willing to be a part of such a movement?

From Part 22:
While in most situations we are not talking about direct civil disobedience just yet, it is not inconceivable that a day will come when pastors and churches are told they must perform and host same-sex weddings as well as traditional weddings—or none at all. Moreover, as we have noted, Christian businessmen and businesswomen are under pressure to violate their consciences as never before. Their being forced to do so is a clear violation of their First Amendment rights.
One of the reasons the civil rights movement succeeded was that, despite all it had going against it, the leaders of this movement appealed to an authority higher than the nation’s government, including its courts. Supporters of natural marriage need to do the same. Judges should never be allowed to rule arbitrarily, but must rule lawfully. Moreover, judges and lawyers must be held accountable to and by the people they serve.
