I agree, most don't comprehend it. Heck there is a bill being worked up right now which will allow the FBI to completely ignore the 4th amendment and access your Internet browsing history without a warrant and without your knowledge at all. Most people probably don't know that, and many probably won't care anyway because "I'm not doing anything wrong." All of this under the guise of making it easier to catch terrorists or potential terrorists.
I am reading a very interesting book now by Peter Pomerantsev, Nothing Is True and Anything Is Possible.
My wife has experience with an overbearing government that few Americans can comprehend. More and more often, she encounters people who are eager to have the government intervene in their lives. My wife can not understand this attitude. Why throw away your freedom? How dare you want to throw away your neighbor's freedom? The response is always that the government has your best interests at heart. No, they don't. A government big enough to give you everything you think you want can take away everything you have. They can take away your father, your uncles, your business (multiple times), your home (multiple times). They can prevent you from going to school. They can bar your little sister from getting medical care. Sadly, my wife's experience doesn't even cause a lot of people pause. They just want their "free" stuff, not knowing or caring how much it costs or will cost.
While a large government can certainly meddle in the personal lives of citizens, a small government (congress, president, and Supreme Court only) with a tiny budget can be just as meddlesome. It's not just the size of the federal government that is a problem, but it's also the creeping scope of federal power.
That is essentially what I said. The problem is two-fold. The size, which equals the massive amount of federal debt we are burdened with today. And, also, the power or as I put it in my post, the control that the Federal Government enjoys today.
Encouraging, but all the ausländer (in both sense of that term) will vote for Hillary, and thus, Virginia is doomed.
Agree but wondering (for example) why Trump got so much "free" media exposure while Johnson didn't?
What do the Marx Brothers have to do with anything?On The Morning Joe, Mike Barnicle just asked Johnson about Aleppo. Johnson answered - What is Aleppo
He seems to be as knowledgeable about foreign affairs as the current republican candidate.:eek2: Too bad, I was going to vote for him (GJ) but now not sure.:conf2:
No chance, as evidenced by the droves of republicans who still support the clown instead of the man who's platform is based on individual liberties. If Johnson would pander by mentioning "two Corinthians" or similar it might help.
They can run however they want but if the media decides to ignore them they will be ignored. See Ron Paul's run.
