Hmmm... testing which ties are stronger, those between families and friends, or those between the citizens and the state.
Free states will lose quickly, if they ever try. Police states will lose more slowly, using fear to influence the choice until that is no longer possible.
Any state which tries this kind of scheme is doomed, some more quickly than others. Destruction of the state is hardly conservative.
I really don't care that HR 1528 "has no chance of passing"
The sheer fact that we have legislators thinking this way is sickening.
And it did pass the judicial commitee.
Another problem is that people read things like this and say.. "well I'm not a drug user and I don't know anyone that is.. so no biggie"
It doesn't matter what your views on drug use are. Laws like this are what will truly bring this nation to an end.
publius, the history of military coups is rather grim.
An ethical military group may indeed create a coup against a corrupt government. They may have the best intentions in the world. The problem is that nothing in the background of most military high commands prepares them--as a group--to be the leaders of a free country.
Eisenhower had to articulate his views and those of his party in order to sell them to the voters. He also knew of the constraints upon the presidency, the limits to the powers.
A military junta generally falls apart in any effort to govern, creating general public dissension. Or, a strong-man dictator emerges with all the problems entailed by such a type of rule. Ethics may hold for a while, but eventually Lord Acton's Rule takes over.
But seriously, how do we turn this kind of nonsense around? I'm fast nearing to the point where I have no faith that we can head back to the path of the .gov minding its own business through the electoral process.
