A18 seems to think we should.
The Libertarian Party will never get anywhere because of nutcases like these, and the fact that they have a ridiculous platform, and party members who think abolishing taxation and gutting the military is a great idea.
They'll also never get anywhere because they think everything they don't like is unconstitutional. They sound like a bunch of Democrats. It's ridiculous, really.
Even though, if we had a democrat in office and in congress, I'd be willing to bet he'd be crying bloody murder to everything they pass being unconstitutional.
but hell, why not, let's pass the Patroit Act 2, which completely repeals the 1st, 4th and 5th Amendments. And then lets repeal the 2nd amendment and turn in all our guns so people won't kill eachother. (for those who don't notce, I'm being sarcastic).
Conservative causes? I don't know where you buy your dictionary but at 300 billion a pop, these new age "conservative" types aren't really a cheap date, are they? Still, A18 makes a good point, the constitution does call for a standing army, at least implicitly, when it charges the President with its command. And abolition of the IRS and public schools, while truly conservative, would not be in our national best interest. I've said before that we are more Nationalistic than Conservative, anyway.
However, I agree completely with you that the Patriot Act was reactionary, violates several articles of the Bill of Rights, and needs to be repealed. I would not consider it "legislating from the bench" if the Supreme Court were to agree. Maybe you should get yourself busted for espionage, and then challenge it. I would, but I'm busy just now.
also, I voted Hell No.
