March 25, 1996: Open Lines - Freemen, Politics & Gay Marriage

Art Bell opens the phones on the Montana Freemen standoff, presidential politics, and the national fight over same-sex marriage.

Callers argue about federal authority, courts, civil rights, militia rhetoric, and whether confrontation or negotiation can resolve the Freemen crisis. Art keeps returning the discussion to the difference between principled dissent and actions that endanger other people.
