You must not be preaching the gospel of the kingdom, but the significantly shortened version. According to the Bible, it is our job to say right is right and wrong is wrong. This is not for judgement but for warning and repentance.

You do a very poor job of quoting people. You change what people say, you read in things they didn't say and you misinterpret what they said. It seems there are numerous posters complaining of you doing this, not just me.
Yes, if your word is in the context of the gospel, calling people to repent from sins, that would be great. Whenever you preach the gospel there is a call to repentance, there is also a path for that repentance, the way of salvation, and the good news of the kingdom of God.
The US is not the kingdom of God. Passing laws is not the way of salvation. What works is a new heart.
You are trying to complain about the Supreme court, laws of this land and then somehow tie this into the preaching of the gospel. You have confused "legalism" with Evangelism.
