I can't believe I'm saying this to Leland, but Preach it Brother!!!
To which we need to add the dangers of runaway goverment. Althought they did
not realize it, people picked up by the Nazis were almost dead already. I
wonder how long the practice of hauling people off to concentration camps would
have continued if each person took one or two SS men with him.
We need to remember that the power of a government against its own citizens is
NOT unlimited in a constutional democracy. It has been said that the 2nd
Amendment is the one that insures all the others.
Although I'm still not sure what the crime of the Waco Wacko was, I have never
seen anything that justified the attack of Janet Reno's storm troupers - either
initially where several ATF agents were killed or later with a bunch of
innocent people died trying to be left alone and harming no one.
Government is not a source of liberty, but it sure can extinguish it.
