We have been in this situation several times before in our history. To whit, every time we've been in a hot war. The civil war period was RIFE with suspension of civil liberties. At the end of the conflict, things invariably return to normal because Americans don't want it any other way.
The strict Libertine view of things would be that things like "gas rationing" (which I very much believe is going to become a reality soon) and the draft are outrageous encroachments of "the state" on our liberties.
Fine. I hope your whining will comfort you, because these things are going to happen, most likely. I guess you can go to Canada or South America, somewhere that "the state" can't ask of you more than YOU are willing to pay.
To the rest of us, we always knew you were disloyal to anything other than your own hedonistic interests, so it'd be no surprise.
BTW, your glorious leaders, upon whose name I spit, and which name I have vowed NEVER to utter again on FR, has already made some outrageously adolescent rantings about the current state. As far as I'm concerned he is a self-absorbed traitor to this nation.
I don't know where to begin in responding to this personal attack, but I will,
1-I'm not a Libertarian
2-Who are my leaders
3- Only loyal to my hedonistic interests? What are you talking about?
Please explain yourself
