The one considered by many to be the “Founding Father” of the modern American Conservative Movement, Paul Weyrich, had a brilliant piece out today in which he discusses the single greatest problem in the “conservative” movement.
I have had the pleasure and honor of getting to know Mr. Weyrich over the past few months and have a great deal of respect for him. He was one of the few who, once he learned the truth about Mitt Romney, retracted his endorsement, refering to it as the “biggest mistake of (his) life” at the CNP meeting in New Orleans a few months ago. He has also recently become increasingly aware that many of the leading “pro-family” and “Christian” organizations, lawyers, and commentators have been perpetuating the toxic liberal lie that courts can “legalize” things such as “same sex marriage.”
With boldness, he calls on fellow conservatives to reject this dangerous lie calling on executives (governors and presidents alike) to ignore and reject anti-constitutional advisory opinions like Jefferson, Adams, and Lincoln all did, instead of violating their constitutional oaths and enforcing those opinions as if they were actual laws.
It is a must read.
For the sake of this republic I urge my friends, fellow leaders and Americans emphatically to repudiate the devastating myth that judges have the power to make and redefine our laws. We should do so rapidly and forcefully before our republic is replaced by the irresistible tyranny of men and women who believe that nihilist elites should make the rules and pass them to judges for formal announcement when the time is ripe for the latest step into the post-rule of law, post-moral abyss. Otherwise our “conservatism” will continue to be merely the rearguard for subtle left-wing revolution.
