re: #100 jaunte

The started out as nutty anti-federalists:
Richard Mack: “The greatest threat we face today is not terrorists; it is our federal government… One of the best and easiest solutions is to depend on local officials, especially the sheriff, to stand against federal intervention and federal criminality.”

I don’t even know how to respond to that load of crap statement. But when you’ve been convinced that the federal government is your sworn enemy, I guess this is how you think. Real, real sad if you ask me. The federal government isn’t our enemy and I’m tired of them being made into this scary boogeyman that they’re not. Should some things be state, local, and private enterprise? Sure, but the oh my god the federal government is tyranny argument is just pathetic.
