FreeRepublic has become unrecognizable to me, seeing how many people here applaud moves like this. The US is in the process of completely forsaking the rule of law, and people here cheer its demise.
When the rule of law is done away with for liberals, conservatives want their laws equally relaxed.
The thing is, a simple glance at history shows us the outcome of such a move. Something like this was done to Germany after WW1, and we saw those results.
And, to anyone who would claim me to be a 'Putin Puffer', my grandfather on my father's side was a Ukrainian Kulak who barely escaped Stalin's Holodomor, so my initial response to the war is to side with the Ukraine.
But, the present day Ukraine is not the same Ukraine it was. Both sides, Russia and Ukraine, are hopelessly corrupt.
So it is not a matter of which side I am on. It is a matter of common sense. A move like the Biden administration is floating will only end in another world war.
