I think most conservatives realize we are at war. The PA is nothing compared to what happened during the WWII or the Civil War for that matter.
In World War Two, we fought a finite enemy that was named: Japan, and Germany.
We didn't fight the CONCEPTS of the Blitzkreig or the Kamakazi.
Here, we are fighting the CONCEPT of terrorism, not a finite enemy that is named.
Thusly, this war has no chance of ever ending. They are asking us to give up our rights forever. No thank you.
What happened during the Civil War?
11 states wanted to exercise their constitutional rights. Washingtons response.
4 years of war, war crimes, scorched earth tactics, and 12 years of oppressive Reconstruction which was intended to humilitate what were supposed to be "fellow countrymen"
And yet fully a quarter of freepers want to make the PA perminate... thats not how one views a wartime emasure..
