The Claremont Institute's aims to restore republican government at the local level. This means articulating and applying the fundamental principles of the American Founding: the rule of law, property rights, and morality. Americans should become once again, as James Madison urged, "free and gallant citizens;" "the mutual guardians of their mutual happiness."

While reportedly hundreds of thousands of undoubtedly illegal aliens marched in our major cities with official indulgence, the presence of an estimated 25,000 young Christians demonstrating in San Francisco, the most 'tolerant' city in America, got a rude reception, according to this.

City leaders readied for the battle earlier this week, when the Board of Supervisors passed a resolution condemning the "act of provocation" by an "anti-gay," "anti-choice" organization that aimed to "negatively influence the politics of America's most tolerant and progressive city."

Assemblyman Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, told counterprotesters (number not given--RR) that while such fundamentalists may be small in number, "they're loud, they're obnoxious, they're disgusting and they should get out of San Francisco."

The two-day rally, called "Battle Cry for a Generation," was intended to guide young people away from a popular culture that organizers say glamorizes drugs, violence and sex.

Ron Luce, whose Texas-based Teen Mania organization put on the event, said it hopefully would inspire a "reverse rebellion" against corrupting influences such as MTV and the online meeting hub, MySpace.com.

Well, duh, what does one expect a truly Christian organization to do these days? Sing the praises of the moral decline? San Francisco's hostile reaction to religious sentiment is more evidence that the necessary consequence of the far-left agenda is the suppression of Christianity, praised for its beneficient moral influence by the nation's founders and by practically every statesman since.
