The Temperance Movement was no different from the War On Some Drugs, and had a similar result (if not quite as draconian as what we are experiencing today).<br /><br />Had they merely _encouraged_ moderation rather than abstention, it might have been admirable. That was never their intent, though, and we all have read of the consequences.<br /><br />The Left thinks it is proper to legislate morality - but only _their_ version. Where sex between children and adults is OK, but taking the life of your rapist or attempted murderer is not. I see nothing admirable in that sort of culture.Reg Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14099612693763932005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-64495478318192388492015-01-18T15:17:47.834-05:002015-01-18T15:17:47.834-05:00PJ, the Nazis and Italian Fascists were as much a ...PJ, the Nazis and Italian Fascists were <b><i>as much a part of the Left as any Communist regime.</i></b><br /><br />Look for Seldon and Crozier's book "Socialism: The Grand Delusion" for an explanation.Francis W.

The same good intentions exist on the right as well, although the details advocated may differ (e.g. Nazis, Fascists, etc.). The common thread is coercion.<br /><br />Look at Alcohol Prohibition. It initially was innocent, even admirable: the temperance movement. But the advocates became impatient. They finally pushed their good intentions through Congress and got the Constitution amended. What happened then, is there for all to see.PJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-23791762902170612042015-01-18T09:43:02.999-05:002015-01-18T09:43:02.999-05:00WHO "voted to give them power"?

I recognize that our "Leaders" stand behind the Blue Wall and laugh, but they can only exist as long as the Only Ones are there in front of them. I have noted where "Law Enforcement" live in my AO, and have made plans to deal with them appropriately under the very Rules of Engagement they have been using against Mere Citzens for years.

The other perverse incentive that these idiots (leftists) create is to keep people from earning/producing all they could. Think about the subsidies in Obamacare...what sense would it make to work enough to disqualify ones self from getting it? Self employed and hourly workers will work enough to stay just under the threshold. The result: lost productivity, lost tax revenue, and a greater outlay of "govt" money to pay for their healthcare. Employers cut employees back to less than 30 hrs to avoid that govt imposed "penalty" of having to provide healthcare. The result, a 25% reduction in productivity and wages right off the top for formerly 40 hour workers. Then they turn to the black market you speak of. All foreseeable...Praying your recovery is going great!https://thecoloneloftruth.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/01969548976779294557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-23489379541554901622015-01-17T20:46:42.467-05:002015-01-17T20:46:42.467-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.https://thecoloneloftruth.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/01969548976779294557noreply@blogger.com
