And what happens when things, like -Islamist totalitarianism- rears it's ugly head and threatens your "live and let live" and "don't tread on me" paradise?

Then you would be well advised to use force to defend yourself. Force used in self defence against those trying to violate your rights is rightful, good and proper.

IN principle, any force that can morally be exercised by an individual, such as force to protect life or property, can by asserted by a group or a society collectively.

Force that CANNOT be morally exercised by an individual, such as force used to commit theft, i.e. robbery, can never become moral just because it was accomplished collectively.

Forcibly extracting money from individuals is immoral and illegal when done for a purpose that lacks fundamental underlying moral force, whether carried out by indiviuals or gangs, no matter how large or well organized. But, in the hands of Socialists this particularly insidious form of robbery becomes a cause for self-congratulation. There is no self-satisfaction quite as repulsive as moral gloating bought with someone else’s money.

Yet, Democrats never see it this way. They have a moral blind spot that is quite malignant and very persistent.
