Just remember, no well armed people have ever been subjugated. Not the Vietnamese, not the Somalis, not the Afghans. There are worse things than war – such as slavery.

Does anyone remember Posse Comitatus???
Our country has lost neraly all of the traditions and respect for the Constituion that once made us great.
The military used as a police force puts us in the same league as a banana republic.

Funny, Jim…I was just watching some YouTube video of Kent State (and of course, listening to CSN&Y performing “Ohio”) minutes before reading this comment thread.

I like the Gene Smith quote above:

Iâ€™m no Libertarian, but Domestic Deployment of Troops Concerns Me, too.

Libertarians can reach across party lines when we hit the right issues, such as war and domestic deployment of troops. We need to keep it up and certainly engage in more outreach to the left…especially the antiwar left.

What is even more amazing is that it was in the FayO! This same paper reported election polls which had included Libertarian candidates, while deleting the portions dealing with the percentages of those candidates.

Wait till we get another Kent State, or Boston Massacre. That ought to awaken a few complacent souls.
