you are deflecting from my main argument. I believe that any government powerful enough to right all wrongs is a government that possess the power to perpetrate tyranny. Everything else you are trying to say is just semantics, and deflection.
Just what people need, more militaristic police weapons. There is not a police force in the country that needs that type of crap and certainly it is unconstitutional for them to arm themselves as an army. We have a constitution that prevents the military from being used as police,I think it was meant to work both ways.
It is your statement of what you want the United States Government to be and I pointed out that it already describes Mexico’s government.
I was right.
NO your not
LOL. I just watched it the other night for the umpteenth time.
Mexico is living the dream.
Sigh,
I am sure your a nice person... But really, we are just going to disagree about what government should look like.
I totally disagree with what you want in that quote, Mexico already has that and it sucks.
I dont want the United States government to be “weak, helpless, underfunded and incompetent”.
“I dont want the United States government to be “weak, helpless, underfunded and incompetent”.”
Overbearing, meddling, overfunded, and incompetent is working out so well for us.
HUH? Totally different subject.
“HUH? Totally different subject.”
You seem to want a very powerful police force, do you not?
Again, HUH? You have to make a little more sense about something for me to be able to know what you are trying to say.
“Again, HUH? You have to make a little more sense about something for me to be able to know what you are trying to say.”
I ought to be making perfect sense, but if not: do you or do you want a powerfully-armed police force? That seems to be what you are talking about, right? You want a STRONG government with lots of force capability, right?
Otherwise, your post makes no sense.
LOL
even here, enumerated powers mean NOTHING to people
I’m OK with the Sheriff of Hildago County having that vehicle available for use in that region of the Texas Mexico border and I disagree with this statement about the United States Government.
“I want my government to be weak, helpless, underfunded and incompetent.”
You seem desperate to start some conversation about some other stuff, but you are way off from my posts.
“I’m OK with the Sheriff of Hildago County having that vehicle available for use in that region of the Texas Mexico border and I disagree with this statement about the United States Government.”
It will likely not be used for border issues, but against American citizens.
The more powerful the .gov, the less free we are.
You have no idea what it will be used for, I wonder if you are even very familiar with that part of Texas.
This Thursday or next Thursday, and one day only?
Not if it was stuffed with cash.
