"Either case you're mistaken. History has proven time and again, once the government starts one of these unconstitutional wars they never go away (War on Poverty, mid 60s, War on Illiteracy, 70s, War on Drugs, mid 80s, have I forgotten any that are still going on?)."

How's that War on Alcohol going? Oh yeah, it got repealed. War on Slavery? Jim Crowe War on Civil Rights? War on Pornography?

Yup, they NEVER go away... < /SARCASM >

War on Slavery?

Don't remember one. I remember a war on state's rights though. BTW, did you realize that at the time of the War of Southern Independence there were less than 200,000 people in the Abolition Party? Out of a nation of 20 million. A percentage that small doesn't start a war. Better look into your history books again. It wasn't over slavery. Missed out on that one

Jim Crowe War on Civil Rights?

Let's see, 13th Amendment passed in the mid 1860s, Civil Rights Act passed in the mid 1960s. Yep, that's about par for our government. 100 years during which most of the time they were involved in the segregation itself? Yep, that was a 'real' war.

War on Pornography?

Don't remember a government led war on pornography. Matter of fact there wasn't one. However there was the introduction of true liberalism and the final destruction of any semblance of what the Founders believed. Do what you want, not what's right.

Fact of the matter is that every one you mentioned either took an inordinate amount of time or it wasn't government led in the first place. Keep preaching safety comrade. Sooner or later we'll all disagree with the government and with the institution established this week, may God have mercy on us
