“”Since you brought it up, exactly what circumstances would justify you shooting a police officer or a soldier in the head?”

When I ask a liberal if the law he just proposed is so important that would he shoot his own grandmother in the head should she peacefully decline to obey it, well, sometimes I see a head explode, metaphorically speaking. Stammer, stammer, well, that is the price we pay for having a civil society, comes the reply.

I just say, if you as concerned about personal rights as you claim, then you would only want laws to address crimes that are so egregious that the potential bloodshed their enforcement implies is comparable to the crime. But liberals are all about forcing people to obey them, and every way they think people must think and act. It is never about civil society, or else they would be outraged when, for example Earth First activists put ceramic spikes in trees to prevent lumbering, an act that could result in serious injury to the operator of the chain saw. But they never are. Quite the opposite.

That is very well stated. I may steal parts of it, if it is ok.

Because there is no right and wrong in the world of the Liberal. The end justifies the means.
