• This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

Assassination of American citizens, extensive surveillance, arbitrary seizure of assets without conviction of a crime, aggressive (sometimes murderous) law enforcement (e.g., Ruby Ridge, Waco – and routinely by SWAT teams). And foreign wars, providing a fearfully patriotic public that supports an ever-growing government.

So long as our persons, communication, and assets are subject to arbitrary government assault each party believes we should have as a consolation prize a few inessential rights. For much the same reason Octavius designed the Principate to combine autocratic rule while retaining the outwards forms of the Republic. Rapid change frightens sheep.

Each has a fetish for some aspect of liberty, for much the same reason a teenage girl keeps a favorite doll from her childhood: to remind herself that she remains essentially the same despite her radical changes in mind and body.
