San Diego backs down on Bible study "permit"
Publicity shames the Christian-haters
"A code enforcement officer warned the couple in April for holding a “religious assembly” without a permit. The action became an international incident when it was reported last week on the Web site worldnetdaily.com.
The Joneses assert that the county's action violates their rights under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees freedom of religion. Their story was picked up by conservative Web sites for days, then made it to CNN yesterday.
Barraged by hundreds of complaints, San Diego County officials backed down yesterday from their enforcement. “No one respects the right to free religious expression more than I do, and no one would find the infringement of such rights more abhorrent,” county Chief Administrative Officer Walt Ekard said in a statement.
Chandra Wallar, the county's general manager of land use and environment, said the county has re-examined the situation and decided that the Joneses don't need a permit after all.

Great decision Chandra, especially since your PC'ized, leftist boss's would've gotten their clocks cleaned in a courtroom! People in Mexifornia should try living by the US Constitution, rather than spending their time trying to manipulate it.
What bothers me most is the fact that they thought they could ask for a permit to begin with. The first amendment is pretty clear and they were either very ignorant or very brave here in Obama's new world order.
No, not brave or ignorant. They simply see which way this country's being pushed and were going with the flow. The further to the Left we are taken, the more irrelevant the Constitution will become.
Some day, the American people will awake and ask, so where did our country go? The asnwer will be, you gave it away.
Anon 3:04,you got that right! Unfortunately our system here in the US is such that once those type of changes occur, they are VERY difficult to undo short of a revolution.
A revolution is coming. I can see the signs everywhere, from the tea parties the the low approval rating of most politicians, including the president.
Poll numbers:
Obama aproval 60% (those who are asked if they like him)
Obama approval 35% (those who are asked if they approval of his ploicies or of the spending)
On policy. "But how do you think he's doing at president?"
"Oh, oh-ho-ho, I love the guy! Wonderful!"
"What about his auto policy?" "Ah, I don't like that. But I love the guy! He's so smart. He's so elegant!"
"What about his plan to save the banks?"
"I don't know that we need the government running the show."
"What about him?"
"I love him! Ho-ho! I love the guy!"
See how that works? So don't let his "high" approval rattings fool you.
The other thing is guns. Liberals hate them, conservatives love them. So WHEN the revolutions comes who do you think is on the winning side?
I don't want to see the country overthrown but it maybe the only way to trash this demonsterable system (made that way by BOTH aprties) and start over with what the founding fathers truly intended.
