I haven't heard any of the usual wacko law and order types suggesting punishments for Rush "Excellence in OxyContin-Influenced Broadcasting" Limbaugh. Many of you want to execute drug users. I guess you make exceptions for "conservatives".

Rush was not a "drug user" as you put it. He was on prescription pain medicines like a lot of other people. He was not taking drugs for the fun of it.

But he left out one more group of people cheering the beating on – the so-called "law and order" conservatives who think it's necessary for authorities to beat people occasionally because it's either good for them or because some people just need a good beating.

That sure describes some of the Jack Boot Lovers around here

Well that would indicate one of two things, either you can't read or you didn't spend much time on the Rush threads. Many of you want to execute drug users. I guess you make exceptions for "conservatives".

Now as for the hype with the enlarged head who tried to decapitate the cop, what would be your solution to such an attack on your body? Just how does one go about securing a drug crazed rhino in the politically correct way?

The Edited Version:

Why don't you supply one name of one poster who advocates executing drug users?

Now as for the hype with the enlarged heart who tried to decapitate the cop, what would be your solution to such an attack on your body? Just how does one go about securing a drug crazed rhino in the politically correct way?

This is somewhat akin to disliking guns but loving bullets. Eventually the love of one yields to toleration of the other. It's hard to celebrate beatings, killings, hangings, and all-round bloodshed, while maintaining an appreciation of liberty in the abstract.

Ummm, complete horse-hockey.

This is the same kind of spurious universalization in which the left engages.

The fact of the matter is that adults have to make decisions about how to apply force, and to claim that the police in the Cincinnati case or the US armed forces in Iraq are symptomatic of a "police state" is a gross exagerration only someone with an irrepressible adolescent urge to "stick it" to authority can applaud.

Another example of the libertarian loon in its late fall migration.

If you want to see a "police state" in action, and examples of acts of questionable constitutionality that affect far more ordinary Americans every day than these, take a look at traffic court, domestic violence court (the one with the penis is always guilty), the zoning board at work every day (organized political extortion), the AW ban, the "Brady" bill, etc., etc.

I don't know of any elected Republicans who are calling for the execution of drug users.

Big difference between being hooked on legal prescription pain killers and using illegal drugs for kicks.

No wonder the Losertarian Party isn't going anywhere.

If he is going to talk about a group he had better get the group makeup correct.

Cops who beat people likened to American Foreign Policy?

This guy took a good point about Liberty and sh!t all over it. Taking extremes and propping them up as the norm.

ROTFLMAO!!

Thanks for the rant. It's rants like these that show how bad liberals will continue to lose because you just have a hard time sorting through facts and interpreting them dispassionately. Hyperbole is your staple (along with a healthy anount of losing). Kinda like a sugar high, you know, pancakes for dinner.

Lew, Lew, Lew.

The state is organized force. Results may vary.

If you prefer anarchy, you've obviously never spent much time around it. It's only fun when you're the most heavily armed. Otherwise, it sucks.

You can hate the state all you like. It's not utopia, and I realize that utopia is the standard for some people. But if we hate it when it does wrong, why can't we take pleasure in it when it does well?

Some people have it coming. You can sympathize with the poor criminals all day long, but they committed the crimes of their own free will. No one forced them to break into a house and steal a VCR. No one made them get high on angel dust and attack a cop. Criminals choose to do bad things, and in the course of being subdue they are occasionally injured or killed. This is mostly due to the fact that they are violent people pursuing violent ends.

Perhaps it's a bit immature to celebrate in these unfortunate accidents. Perhaps we should view it with intellectual detachment and contemplation of the state of the criminal mind, and the societal injustice that lead them to a path of unlawful behavior.

The deal is that some people DO have it coming. Some people use their freedoms to hurt and steal from others, and when those people are stopped, I enjoy it. If that makes me a jerk, a thug, or an all around bad person, I'm sure I'll find a way to live with it.

He's got a hair cut and he's got a real job.
