welcome to FR
Thanks. Actually I am still trying to figure out how to get into the nolongerfreepingalone yahoo group, or if it is worth it to do so, since I have had singularly poor success finding anything other than LW loons and liberals here in PRNJ.
Ah, but back to the LW loon thing...
Fascist? Only LW loons call Giuliani a fascist.
Well, let's see... I've been accused many times by a "moderate republican" friend (who votes dem) of being to the right of Attila the Hun. This'll be the first time I have been accused of being even remotely left wing.
So far as Giuliani is concerned... Look at the NYC laws. Heck, forget the rule of law -- remember Weedsport 1998, when he usurped the local authorities to persecute innocent people, outside of the city, for some twisted photo-op? He is strongly anti-RKBA, whatever his current mask. Undoubtedly he is a shrewd politician, and I laud his ability to turn around violent crime and corruption in NYC. He speaks well, and presents a compelling persona. But his jack-booted methodologies have no place in the suburbs. And before you tell me he's changed his spots, please find and quote his statement apologizing for Weedsport. (You won't: to the best of my knowledge, there has been no apology.)
"Freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be. Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do and how you do it." Mayor Giuliani, New York Times, 17 March 1994
