You have a disappointingly high tolerance for tyranny. If it isn’t too awfully instrusive and makes you feel safer, you appear to be OK with most any intrusion. Good Germans didn’t really have to worry about the Gestapo, did they? It was a bit of a hassle to be stopped, but it brought a high level of order to society, only affecting those that everyone agreed were a problem, so where was the harm?

You have a pretty unconventional definition of tyranny. Hyperbole aside, tyranny is not a word to be used casually. Heck, I'd say the Founding Fathers used it a bit recklessly. If King George were truly a tyrant, then the proper course of action for the Patriots was to bring the war to Mother England or at the very least, liberate the Canadian provinces from British rule at any cost. What did they actually do? They resumed trade with Mother England just about as soon as they could.

All this long-winded navel-gazing psychoanalytical fluff about the German mind is, in my view, beside the point. Ultimately, the Germans decided to revert to the rules of war used by the Vikings during which captives were enslaved or killed depending on the whim of the captor. It had nothing to do with creeping this or that. The German people were in the grip of the romantic fantasy that they were Vikings reincarnated and that if they conquered the world, they were all going to Valhalla.

Are you trying to set a record for being wrong on a single thread? You have no concept of rights. None. Every time you post, you demonstrate a total ignorance of what real liberty is.

I believe you just stuck a fork in yourself. You have zero regard for the Constitution, natural rights, or your fellow citizens. You just want a nanny state to pat your head and rock you to sleep.

If you are a "NY conservative", then I guess I understand why things suck so much in NYC.
