When Moonbats Attack

As all four of my long-time readers are aware, I have a strong dislike of extremists.  Yet, it seems as time goes on, people are getting more extreme in their beliefs and motives.  For example, did you know that in Michigan you can be sentenced to life in prison for adultery?  This is a rapidly increasing trend of religious extremists taking contol of government and shoving their own morality down every one else’s throats.

Religious extremists are not the only problem.  Among the Democrats, the lunatic fringe has taken over.  Michelle Malkin has a detailed report of someone who takes himself way too seriously, and took it upon himself to physically attack people who had a political orientation of which he did not approve.  Such incidents are becoming more frequent among the unhinged Left – whether it is the vitriolic, sexist, and racist emails Michelle Malkin receives on a regular basis, advocating the murder of a sitting president and the rape of his daughters, or the attempted assault of a political figure as a form of “political expression”.  The list goes on and on, ad nauseam.

And the trend only appears to be getting worse.  If this is the future of political discourse in America, then I can only answer with the time-honored words of the Founding Fathers:

Article [II.]
A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

    This is a rapidly increasing trend of religious extremists taking contol of government and shoving their own morality down every one else’s throats.

    The law that was cited in this casewas enacted in 1931. No one has been prosecuted for adultery in Michigan, according to the article you cited, since 1971. That’s a rapidly increasing trend?

    Let’s see here. We have:

    1. Judges telling Pagan parents they can’t teach their children their non-mainstream religion – without rebuke.

    2. Governors running to churches to sign religious-based laws designed to target a specific group of the population which is despised by the religious extremists in question – without rebuke.

    3. States passing laws banning the sale of sexual aids as an “offense to morality” – without rebuke.

    4. States passing laws allowing creationists to sue non-creationists for daring to discuss their beliefs – without rebuke.

    5. Politicians claiming that not voting for Christians is “legislating sin” – without rebuke.

    6. States passing laws in which “intelligent” design *must* be taught, and the alternative theory of evolution is all but banned – without rebuke.

    Etc., etc. etc.

    I suggest you read the Book of Amos, where the outsider sees the flaws that those on the inside do not see, either through lack of sight or through deliberate and willful ignorance.

    In many ways, I am like the prophet Amos. Granted, I don’t see myself as some divinely-appointed prophet, but I *am* the outsider who sees what’s happening and am not standing by quietly to let it happen.

    I’m not arguing that your position is without merit, I’m just saying, this particular case is a poor one to hold up as an example. Read the particulars, and then tell me it was really about adultery.

    You are somewhat correct. When I see something like this, especially when a court refuses to overturn an obviously unconstitutional law, I look at the inevitability of it being applied against the populace in some manner.
