On Tuesday, an official in Pennsylvania's Montgomery County made a decision that he said would put him "on the right side of history and the law." He decided that he would issue a same-sex marriage license to anyone who wanted it.
In Pennsylvania, same-sex marriage is illegal, but Register of Wills Bruce Hanes said in a press release that he made his "own analysis of the law." He also noted that the state's attorney general announced on July 11 that she would not defend that state's gay marriage ban against a legal challenge by the American Civil Liberties Union. At least one same-sex couple has already been married in Montgomery County.

Some of us look to Fox News for conservative and sensible dialogue and, for the most part, that's all it is---talk. They are the ones with the microphones and the audience. Why won't any of the anchors begin a "movement" to effectively fight the wrongs that our governments are foisting on us?
Our taxes often support what we don't want while ignoring what we do want.
