I wonder if this post will get the same hostile reception mine did when I announced my intent to fight my seatbelt ticket?

I did fight it, to no avail of course.
But as I told the judge, having lost I now have legal standing to join in any future effort to repeal the "law".

Blackmail is a criminal activity, it does not matter if it's some thug or the Fed. Gov. doing it, it is still criminal.
"Our" Gov. resorts to this tactic frequently when they feel a need to abridge our constitutional rights without a legitimate venue to do so.

Seatbelt laws, national speed limits, drinking age, DUI thresholds, age of consent.....
All of these are being determined by federal blackmail!

I guess that once enough of the individual states laws have been homogenized, the liberals will feel free to disband our state legislatures, and implement their dream of a omnipotent socialist federal government.

The recent repeal of the first amendment facilitates this goal.
We had better start resisting this trend, or we will find ourselves disenfranchised all the sooner!

Do you feel alone on this conservative forum? Don't you understand Sad-dam has been captured, the economy is about to explode and our IRA's and 401ks are going to be so full we can kick back, and our prescriptions will be paid for.

So what if we have to buckle up? It's for our own safety--and more importantly, OUR CHILDREN>/sarcasm>
