Wasn't it Totalitarian Strongman Klinton who signed the Krime Bill into
law? I seem to recall he is not very receptive to individual rights either.
He has been quoted as saying, "When a right is being abused, you have to move
to limit it." He also said, "We should stop being so fixated on the
rights of ordinary Americans." Is there any doubt he would sign
anti-4th amendment legislation into law? Or do away with other
provisions of the Bill of Rights?
The only difference between parties is which individual rights they
want to take away. Personally, I focus on the 2nd since it protects our
other rights. There has not been a government that has committed mass
murder in the last hundred years without first disarming its population.
