The Tyranny Cometh



The Democrats can't wait to impose their Orwellian vision on the country and Senator Jeff Bingaman is wasting no time in his quest to destroy dissent and the First Amendment.

San Fransisco Attacks Catholic Doctrine

From the secular socialist enclave of San Fransisco we have yet another attack on all things American:


The debate is a result of Resolution
168-06
, which was passed unanimously on March 21, 2006, by the board of
supervisors of the city and county of San Francisco and which urged the
archbishop of San Francisco and Catholic Charities of San Francisco to defy
church directives.

The document called on Cardinal William Levada, in his capacity as
head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith at the Vatican, to
withdraw his “discriminatory and defamatory directive” that Catholic Charities
of the Archdiocese of San Francisco stop placing children in need of adoption
with homosexual households...

In addition, the March 21, 2006, resolution alluded to the Vatican as
a “foreign country” meddling in the affairs of the city and described the
church’s moral teaching as “insulting to all San Franciscans,” “hateful,”
“insulting and callous,” “defamatory” and “absolutely unacceptable.”



This is a clear violation of the First Amendment on two fronts, the most obvious being that it violates the guarantee of religious expression. Secondly, it violates the establishment clause in that the government is officially codifying secular religious beliefs in law. Nowhere is it written that faith is something that must explicitly refer to god IE: The Church of Global Warming. All that is needed is a belief, an opinion that adherents hold as ultimate truth. The government of San Fransisco is using its monopoly on force to establish secular beliefs while attacking others.
