Thanks for this obvious suggestion, Roderick ( :
I don’t know. Makes it kind of sound like you’re in support of the government.
[...] Roderick Long explains how. [...]
To a conservative, the police and military don’t count as part of “the government.”
Indeed, they are “us,” in the sense that “we” invaded Iraq.
I thought liberals were the ones identifying the government with “us”?
All statists do.
True that.
