You all know the type of miscreant these people find reprehensible, those who think for themselves. Those who will not betray their code of honor or manhood for popular acceptance.<BR/><BR/>People just too damn dangerous to try to enslave. More pragmatic to just isolate them,and kill them with as low a profile as can be managed. Because 3% of the populace will never surrender liberty, nor cease efforts to reassert it. These people are dangerous to all pragmatists because they are not "team players" and they don't care one good Goddamn for popularity at the expense of liberty or manhood. These people end up being hated by all, ALL, but their own. Pragmatism is like that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-63583633266007023972009-01-27T10:58:00.000-06:002009-01-27T10:58:00.000-06:00And add to that the hesitation that many in the em...<I>And add to that the hesitation that many in the employ of the tyranny may have in firing upon fellow Americans.</I><BR/><BR/>Not to mention the fact that those who would <I>send</I> government force against the people are not thousands of miles away from those whom they seek to "pacify."Kurt '45superman' Hofmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091930034162667742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-62389999049410138412009-01-27T10:35:00.000-06:002009-01-27T10:35:00.000-06:00I hadn't read the article yet (had to don the gas ...I hadn't read the article yet (had to don the gas mask before clicking on a HuffPo link), but I just caught this from it:<BR/><BR><I><BR/>Researcher Herbert Wulf, commenting on the U.S. occupation of Iraq, stated, "[t]he present situation in Iraq illustrates that even the most powerful military nation of the world runs into difficulties in trying to re-establish the monopoly of violence."</I><BR><BR/><BR/>You catch that?
