What's your definition of a Conservative or a contrarian? KentuckyWomen has been the recipient of a lof heat simply for espousing the desire to have our Conservative leaders respect and uphold the Constitution. I think Harry Browne is a nutcase but I understand where he is coming from in this article. Does being a "Good Conservative" mean that we have to follow our leaders blindly and unquestioningly? Those that would suggest so are the one's who should start packing. This country was meant for better men and women.
If it were that simple I would defend her myself...but it isnt...
1. "Give 'em time my friend. They're working diligently to overturn posse comitatus even as we speak. Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war!! I just hope that we're not the ones that end up being dog meat!!"
2. "If Krintoon and his administration had tried to get away with only half of the unconstitutional, liberty erasing measures passed under Bush, the self-described conservatives in this Country would be up in arms."
3. "One is becoming a monarchy while the other is a dictatorship."
4. "Just between the Patriot Act and the No Child Left Behind Act, both of which Pres. Bush has supported wholeheartedly, we will no longer recognize this Country with 10 years (if it takes that long) and all this never-ending "war" business is nothing more than to keep the sheople feeling fearful and crying to big-brother to keep them safe. Frankly, I'm getting pretty darned sick of it. I won't even begin to get into the who knew what and when regarding 9/11 here."
5. "It wasn't freedom that was attacked (at least not by any 'terrorists'), it was the policians interventionist, empire building policies that were 'attacked'"
That is much more than simply wanting the President to honor the Constitution.
According to quite a few folks on this thread, it does. As I stated in another post - Harry Browne may be something of idiot but even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Thanks for the kind support.
