[Conscience of a Conservative]

LoL - lets see how the left likes being on the receiving end of the "pen and a phone" strategy for a change. The meltdown should be epic.

See, that's the thing. I don't like it when Obama pulls his "pen and a phone" BS, and so I don't like it when Jindal does the same. As much as I agree with the purpose of what Jindal is doing (though, as others have said, religious freedoms shouldn't need legislative/EO protection), I don't like the idea of a governor simply implementing a law that the legislature has, for whatever reason, failed to pass itself.

Oh, I’m the opposite. It’s like a brawl, and I constantly see the left breaking each and every rule... ignoring the written law, the Constitution, utilizing corrupt courts, dictatorial executive orders, etc. They “fight dirty,” while the conservatives all sit around with their teacups, tut-tutting, and pointing to the rulebook.

It ultimately renders conservatives losers on each and every issue. It’s the paradigm we’re in, and have been now for years. We seem to already be in a post-Constitution, post-America reality. Hence, I’m at the point I’m fine with any conservative using any and all means to combat the forces “transforming” the country into a depraved marxist tyranny.

Yeah, I recognize that it's representative of a continuation down the road of arbitrary executive action, but I am open to the idea that this is part of a well thought out strategy that is ultimately legislative in the outcome. Will have to wait and see, in the meantime it will be productive to see the radicals wail and burn through resources trying to quash all of it.
