You want a revolution?

If I didn't know better, I would say that certain elected officials and appointed judges are daring the American people to rebel.

You can start the list, of course, with Barack Obama and his constitutional excesses, move on to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and so on.

But I'm not thinking about any of them at the moment. I'm thinking about someone whose name you might not even recognize – federal Judge Vaughn Walker, the homosexual activist in black robes determined to force all Americans to accept same-sex marriage, no matter what they think about it.

You might think a judge who is a homosexual activist would consider recusing himself from judicial review of California's Proposition 8, a ballot initiative prohibiting state recognition of same-sex marriage carried by the votes of 5.5 million people.

You would be wrong.

Instead, Vaughn Walker imposed his own views on the population of California with a dramatic and sweeping edict that defies common sense, 5,000 years of Judeo-Christian moral standards, 230 years of American history, nature and, most importantly, nature's God.

Do people like Walker just expect the rest of us to accept their unaccountable rule over us?

I don't know about you, but I don't think Americans can take much more of this kind of tyranny.

Quite frankly, this is far more blatant and more abusive than anything our colonist forefathers endured before throwing off the shackles of the crown of England.

This isn't the rule of law. This is the rule of men. This isn't the will of the people. This is the will of the gilded elite.

This, unfortunately, is also a tyranny that cannot be resolved at the ballot box alone – certainly not in this election cycle or the next or the one after that. After all, Californians went to the polls and expressed themselves clearly and convincingly on this issue, just as the people of 30 other states have done.

"Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license," wrote Walker.

But that statement is patently false on the face of it. No one is denied a marriage license because of their sexual proclivities. Marriage has always been an institution joining together a man and a woman. What Walker seeks to do with his ruling is redefine marriage as an institution between people of the opposite or same sex. Under the law, a homosexual man could marry a woman, just as a heterosexual man could marry a woman. Nothing would prevent that. There is no sexual preference test given to applicants for a marriage license.

There is no "equal protection" violation in the marriage laws on the books of all 50 states, because marriage is open to all.

But, by Walker's logic, there is no legal or moral basis to stop the redefining of marriage to permit unions of same-sex couples.

Walker wrote that only "biases" and "moral disapproval" formed the basis for the traditional view of marriage. If that's true, it could be said that only "biases" and "moral disapproval" form the basis for laws against polygamy, incest, statutory rape, child pornography, molestation, prostitution and a host of other sexual offenses.

Is America ready for that kind of anything-goes sexual anarchy?

Apparently, Walker doesn't even believe Americans have the right to determine the moral code under which they live – only he does. Apparently, from his lofty position, he is the only one free of "biases" and "moral disapproval."

However, I must point out that Walker is imposing his own moral code, or what passes for one, on the rest of us.

How long are we going to permit ourselves to be subjected to this kind of oppression?

This is why I urge my activist friends in the tea-party movement not to limit themselves to economic, or materialistic, issues. We can't win this war of liberation fighting on that single front. Our liberty is being taken from us on dozens of fronts that have nothing to do with economics or materialism.

America cannot long survive as a self-governing nation if we allow our Judeo-Christian moral code to be demolished by the edicts of despots.
