V: People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.
Alienated, politicized militias like an SA are not expressions of democracy.
On the contrary. The militia is the people.
Do you even know what "SA" means? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturmabteilung
Would it be acceptable to you if those militias were connected somehow to a political party?
The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia describes the militia as composed of the body of the people. There is no reference to concepts such as democracy or political parties.
What are you saying? That Virginia shouldn't have democracy because it isn't in their constitution?
