Your statement vastly confuses me. Because things are laws they are just and moral and you should respect them? That's a really backwards way of thinking.



Vastly? Like the vast reaches of outer space? Wow...

Because things are laws is the reason the US has been able to maintain its democracy (constitutional republic) for as long as it has. So yes.

Picking and choosing what laws you want to follow based on how popular or pc they are is why Hillary lost and is why we have sanctuary cities and is why welfare wiped out the American family.


Tell that to the nut jobs who occupied the wild life refuge in Oregon after having had a previous police stand off.

It's a good thing not all laws are enforced equally. Otherwise most of us apparently would be on jail because of obscure, old laws that were never revoked.

Also, how did the welfare state destroy the Martian family?

Have you ever been outside the US? Edit: nvm saw you were the same poster who talked about their border experience in other countries. There goes that prejudice of mine.


It is not just morally right to resist laws that are unjust and immoral. It is a moral imperative. It's actually accounted for in jury trials in the US, see jury nullification.
