I always find it interesting how the Constitution and unalienable rights endowed by the Creator have to be “put in perspective”. Or how violations of them have to be “understood in context” of the surrounding events.
That’s just weasel talk for justifying the evasion of the limits on the government by the government. Which has happened in the past and will happen in the future, until those rights are noteworthy only for their absence.
It would be nice if just one government, somewhere in the world, was truly dedicated to the rights of the individual instead of constantly attempting to manufacture a thousand thousand reasons to limit, work around and eliminate them. Just one. All the security wet-blankets, the social net neo-Marxists, the power-mad bureaucrats and the respect-through-legislation women can have the rest of them, as far as I’m concerned. Just one, is that too much to ask for? Apparently.
I would live there.
