From Infidel753:
For some time now there has been a growing feeling on the right wing that, since they are inexorably losing the culture wars, they need to carve out some sort of refuge for themselves in which their culture can survive — a place “transformed into an oasis of unfreedom and injustice”, in which traditional myths and bigotry could continue unchallenged. Two and a half years ago, Ross Douthat demanded such sanctuary in the form of exceptions to anti-discrimination laws. By now it is fairly clear that that is not going to fly. Now this post at LifeSite News, a hard-line Catholic forum, calls for actual, physical sanctuary cities for true-believing Christians, citing the precedent of sanctuary cities for illegal aliens in which local authorities refuse to cooperate with certain federal laws.
We already have wingnut sanctuaries where constitutional rights don’t apply, and it is largely legislated from D.C. We will see that trend continue, I am afraid, until it encompasses most of the nation.
The first amendment is already dying and on life support. The 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 10th are also in jeopardy as great violations seem to be ever more common, and often times with the government’s approval if not outright usurpation.
