  1. Re:even a broken clock... on RNC Calls For Halt To Unconstitutional Surveillance · · Score: 1

    The reason I "hate" the Baggers is because they are ignorant anarchists. An anarchist (like a good ole boy or a redneck) cares nothing for anyone but themselves. In social groups this only works for so long, until cooperation becomes compulsory once one or more believe they can dominate the others. Government poses the same threat but tends to be inclusive rather than exclusive (the irony being the Founding Fathers knew this, despite continual social conflicts between adaptation and conformity) and inevitably must expand in order to maintain the social order, something anarchists don't believe in at all.

    Without a broadly accepted social structure for regulating the distribution of resources, economy is simply not possible and all men become prey to whoever moves among them. The Baggers simply do not understand this, and are therefore prey to whoever moves among them. This is why I hate them: they would put us all at risk for a fantasy, an ideal of freedom which has never
    existed.

    And as much as many deny it, the Baggers represent more than fiscal conservatism. It is their "extremism" which has pushed the country to the brink time and again, only adding to the problem and making it harder to find solutions. But they don't want a solution, they want a broken government as an excuse to do whatever they want to. And that is called anarchy.

    You're exactly right, these are Soviet-style tactics used against criminals, dissidents and a skeptical, docile population to frighten and control it, plain and simple. The elites, our fearless leaders, have opted for an oligarchy, just like the Soviets of old. Communism eventually fell, but how long will we have to wait here?

    The old common law allowed you to defend yourself with deadly force if necessary once "cornered", so no jurisdiction needed SYG to make it so. Our country yells and carps about "the law" and "the constitution" but all the screamers know nothing about it at all. What this law did was institutionalize murder under the guise of self-defense by allowing for "ooops", so the potential for abuse is all too real. The dick does not have to be in your ass before you can break it off, so you need to do demonstrate intent on the part of the predator without means of escape, which out in the middle of the remote forest or desert or even on your neighbor's lawn is an easy showing. You don't have to keep running if you're being hunted or stalked, even under common law, which by the way Trayvon Martin was.
