The Left is justifiably terrified of the truth. Might panic the herd and spoil the milk.
To my liberal friends who fret about what new laws we need, I ask, “is the situation your law addresses so important that should your own mother peacefully decline to obey it that you are willing to shot her in the head?”
The last time I asked this question, my friend recoiled in shock and replied that well, um, people will obey the law because they know what happens if they don’t. And that is exactly my point. We change the nature of government and the fundamental relationship to its citizens the more disproportionate we get between what it attempts to regulate and the ultimate penalty for violation of that regulation.
We can accept that government might kill a murderer who resists, but threaten to kill a person who ships lobsters in styrofoam instead of cardboard, or who fails to replace the air pressure sensor on a wheel while repairing a tire, or who whistles to a whale?
Government has simply grown too big for its britches.
Just ask the liberals if they’d feel the same way if Phil Robertson were president and were abusing the powers of the office, of the IRS and our constitution the way Obamby is.
Bttt
Brat submitted,you refuse to pay your taxes, you will lose. You will go to jail, and if you fight, you will lose. The government holds a monopoly on violence. Any law that we vote for is ultimately backed by the full force of our government and military.
“The government holds a monopoly on violence. Any law that we vote for is ultimately backed by the full force of our government and military.”
Only the laws it wants to enforce. The laws regarding deporting and employing illegals are ignored.
The problem is we cannot fight against a corrupt and tyrannical government. Except to overturn it.
“In the Wall Street Journal, Reid Epstein insinuated darkly that the claim cast Brat as a modern-day fascist..... don’t these people know the very words they use ?”
That’s why there’s no point arguing with liberals. They are too ignorant to even understand the basic premise. Or the irony of what they say, like calling Brat a fascist.
Ignorant. Yet, arrogant.
It's a brutal combination...
“Ignorant. Yet, arrogant.
It’s a brutal combination...”
Not one I want to deal with. It amazes me when people post about their liberal friends. As soon as I find out someone is a liberal, I want nothing more to do with them. Life is too short!
It’s kinda like trying to discuss the complexities of a calculus problem with a 3 year old!
To many today, especially those on the Left, a Fascist is anyone who utters truths that they would prefer not be uttered in public.
Today the word Fascist is an incredibly plastic word. It has for all intents and purposes become meaningless because of its versatility.
For the most part it has become a meaningless vulgarity to be hurled rudely at a person who has offended your feelings.
