It is sad but true. I generally don't get involved in the WOD disputes on FR, but lately I've started to. I don't understand why people can't see the inconsistency of their supposed belief in a limited federal government but then turn around and want all the money, all the laws, all the private property seizures in order to pursue this "war" on citizens of this country that THEY WILL NEVER WIN.
More and more I'm convinced that there is no turning back. We're bound to be a socialist state like Europe. I'm shocked by all the Freepers who cheer every time a cigarette tax is imposed or every time a city or state bans smoking but then will turn around in another thread and claim to be in favor of less government intervention.
The evidence is there: whether it's historical districts telling you that you can't have vinyl siding or a chain link fence, or the city council telling you that you can't smoke in a restaurant or the supreme court telling states that the federal government will not recognize medical marijuana laws.
Eventually the government's going to come for something that's important to you, but deemed inappropriate for the collective.
The four horsemen of the Socialist States of America are taxation, regulation, illegal immigration and public education.
The takeover is almost complete.
What? Hypocrisy on FR? I'm shocked I tell you...shocked!
