Raid? When the hell did someone talk about a raid?

The raid comment was inspired by this little piece of drama queen work:

As an example on the alcohol thing: how many parents might let their kid have a sip of beer at the table? Or a glass of champagne at New Year's? Technically, they are breaking the law, but the idea that government should reach into a family's house and dictate their actions is completely abhorrent to me.

I was making fun of your hyperbole, not saying that you had alleged real raids. BTW, got any arrests to report yet? So, let's move on and observe as you continue to exhibit more drama queen liberaltarian behavior:

This is what blows my mind about "conservatives" like you:

1. The "you're not a real conservative because you don't join me in my paranoid delusions" trope. Check!

it doesn't bother you, in the least, that simple things like giving your kid a sip of beer might be illegal, because you have so much trust in daddy government that you just know he would never actually make use of that law, right?

2. Assumption that not joining in the paranoid delusion means one favors paternalistic and overreaching government. Check!

Sweet Uncle Sugar would agree with you all of the time about which laws should be applied when. Uncle Sugar has never even considered using words like "zero tolerance", right? Uncle Sugar has so much common sense, and so much regard for the rights and dignity of his people, that he would never require old, crippled people to remove their shoes in an airport, or kick kids out of school for drawing pictures of guns in crayon. Right?

3. Paranoid belief that law enforcement will be eager to waste their time on "crimes" they can't even document. Check!

So what would it hurt if Uncle Sugar made a few laws that regulate things you do in your own home? He would never abuse them. Just curious - have you ever heard of an agency called CPS?

CPS? Completely Paranois Schizoids? Yeah, I think you're a member.

I already said yes. What else do you need to hear?

I just wanted to make sure you were really as stupid as you seemed. I thought I was misreading your posts. Little kids buying six packs, and you're the smart one who cares about families. Riiiiiiiiiiight!

blah...blah...blah...

It's people like you who don't understand the term "free republic". To someone like you, if big daddy government ain't on the job, nothing's gonna git done. I specifically remember starting our little conversation with the concept that parents, not government agents, are best equipped to keep the kind of tabs on their children that would be necessary to prevent them from using alcohol or other drugs 24/7. You, however, appear to be convinced that if the government doesn't step in and watch your kids, they'll be heroin junkies within the year, and no amount of parenting on your part can change that. Well, perhaps that is the level of child neglect you're used to, but most caring parents would take steps to ensure that their child is not out boozing it up. Most caring parents actually keep an eye on their children, or know who they're with, or where they are, etc. In your case, we need to assign government agents to your children so that they will be properly supervised.

Oh, however did this country survive the first one hundred and fifty years or so where there were no federal restrictions on cultivation or usage of any plant you could possibly sow? How did we survive those dangerous days when people were free to make bad choices for themselves? According to panty-bunching folks like you, we'd all be dead in a year or so if big daddy government weren't enforcing restrictions on our personal behavior for our own good. We couldn't possibly be trusted with our own health and welfare. Only big daddy government can take care of us properly.

You're not from New Orleans, by any chance, are you?
