Ah NOW I see clearly. You are a left-wing troll who thinks words can mean whatever you want them to mean. What the heck are you doing on FR? Wasting the time of people who love freedom?
The fact that you descend to personal insult and lies means that you effectively concede the argument.
You are the individual who has attempted to redefine "tyranny" into a definition unknown to the Founding Fathers.
Let me offer you some dictionary definitions of tyranny, if you like.
OED: "The government of a tyrant or absolute ruler; in a general sense, absolute sovereignty; a state ruled by a tyrant or absolute prince."
American Heritage: "A government in whicha single ruler is vested with absolute power; the office, authority or jurisdiction of an absolute ruler; absolute power, especially when exercised unjustly or cruelly."
In the literal sense of the word a law passed by the duly elected representatives of a state cannot be tyrannical - you dislike the law so you call it tyrannical, but it can only be so described metaphorically - the actual conditions necessary for tyranny do not obtain.
What the heck are you doing on FR?
Conversing with my fellow conservatives, and enduring the occasional harpy-like harangue of left-libertarians like yourself. If you have a problem with my presence here feel free to report me to the mods or to Jim himself.
Wasting the time of people who love freedom?
There is a difference between loving freedom and loving untrammeled addiction to crack cocaine. Despite your efforts to obscure that bright line.
By the way, if you come up with a rational argument for your position at any time in the future, I would love to discuss it with you.
