The purpose of Hitler's requirement was to identify and apprehend threats to his authoritarian power.
I have no doubt that the officials who are pursuing these policies are doing so for the most noble and beneficient of reasons. But as Washington said, government is like fire - it is a dangerous servant and a terrible master. That's why they set up the Constitution in the way that they did, so that usurpations such as these would be challenged.
I offer no alternative because it's not my job to come up with ways to apprehend terrorists and criminals that do not shred the Constitution. They're the ones who swore an oath to support and defend it.
The purpose was to find jews and exterminate them. Sugar coat it all you want to in order to try and hold a line but it falls when common sense is applied.
That falls apart when you mention authoritarianism any way. W will be gone in three years and we still have three branches of co equal government.
Challenge all you want to. Accept when you are turned down. Accept the vote. Accept the rulings. Accept reality.
Reality of today>>>>>>>>>your government is not your primary enemy.
You do not offer your own alternatives because you do not have any. You see the BEST way to oppose something is to show what works BETTER.
You wanna know why W won re election? People know where he stands. He said I will do this and this and this...and he has done so. Kerry did nothing of the kind. Democrats have not done so for a very long time. People are open to opposition when it is qualified with an alternative.
People dismiss you (plural) as a whiner when all you do is say NO NO NO NO NO NO OPPOSE OPPOSE OPPOSE OPPOSE and refuse to offer up any ideas to replace what it is you are so opposed to.
