Another good read. Thanks.
Within the following statement you make a chilling observation about the transistion in the general character of law enforcement.
Even more so because we can see it taking place in real time before our eyes:
"Big-government socialists, including most law enforcement, battled the libertarians and conservatives."
Back two generations or so most people would never have believed that law enforcement and other "first responnders" would be unionized, let alone engage in extortion via union strike tactics to the detriment of their job responsibilities.
But now it is no surprise to see law enforcement follow the same pattern that corrupted other public service sectors, especially within the nations schools.
And now the conversion of the military to an agency for socialism is well underway.
God help us all.
Yep, the military is falling fast too. Witness Hasan and Manning, two soldiers in good standing until their treasons.
