We can't decide if the level of schadenfreude we're enjoying is bordering on unhealthy as the conservative right wing scrambles to find reasons why the pro-marriage equality movement has gained so much momentum in the U.S.

Rather than simply licking their wounds in the wake of their embarrassing defeat as they opposed marriage equality the poor persecuted "Christian" right has decided that "civil disobedience" is the answer.

Right-wingnut, Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council is encouraging the "Christian" (there we go with those pesky quotes again) base to rise up against those forces that are "redefining marriage."
