I asked the other day what part of the Constitution explicitly authorizes banning anything like this by the feds. I was told that basically that the feds can do anything as long as they justify it as threatening the well being of the nation.
When I suggested the feds to stick to the Constitution and use the amendment process if someone wanted to make changes to ban something,(the horror) I was told to stfu, and that basically I didn’t care about defending this nation.
This, right here on Free Republic, I guess the nation really is lost when you can’t get self described conservatives to adhere to the actual wording of Constitution, if it contravenes their pet cause, whatever that may be.
It’s because of the pervasive Moral Bankruptcy we have denigrated to in America. Asking people to follow the Constitution as written forces the morally bankrupt to look in the mirror and come to the realization that they do not have the right to impose their desires on others and that they are the enemy of Freedom.
We just cannot force people to reckon with their abject Moral Bankruptcy, it will destroy their all important Self Esteem.
But you go ahead and blame the boogieman, Conservatives.
A stoned society is not productive and is your perversion of freedom.
I responded to the wrong post. Sorry about that.
