Yay — another grandstanding pol who does not care about the difference between public and private action.

We have ways of dealing with the Fred Phelps spew without government jumping in. Happened the other week at the Ronnie James Dio memorial in LA — the Phelps clan saw a good photo op protest chance, a couple thousand metalheads and the private-security of the memorial gardens begged to differ. Guess who won?

Not so with the federal government telling me to buy this policy or pay that fine. All the metalheads in the world won’t help, although they might be about the only solace left in this crazy world.
