Let’s not shy away from the truth about what government is.
With just seven little words, the freakout began: “The government holds a monopoly on violence.”
These were written by David Brat, a professor of economics at Virginia’s Randolph-Macon College and, now, the Republican party’s nominee for the state’s seventh congressional district. “Unusual” and “eye-opening” was the New YorkDaily News’s petty verdict. In the Wall Street Journal, Reid Epstein insinuateddarkly that the claim cast Brat as a modern-day fascist. And, for his part, Politico’s Ben White suggested that the candidate’s remarks “on Neitzsche and the government monopoly on violence don’t make a whole lot of sense.” As is its wont, the progressive blogosphere lost its collective marbles too: One contributor sardonically described Brat’s claim as a “doozy,” while another contended that such opinions were sufficient for “one to question his, shall we say, cognitive coherence.”

Hmmm let's see here who els besides government can legally kick the crap out of you? You only has to go to YouTube to see thousands of videos of cops beating people. Now don't get me wrong here I know some of the instances are warranted. Many of these instances its plain to see we as a country have a major issue with rouge cops. This unfortunately will not change with the current system we have. Cops policing cops aka internal affairs does not work.
ReplyDeleteNow was this what David was speaking about? To be honest I didn't read the whole article so I'm not sure. What I've done is just show one way our government has a monopoly on violence And can illegally stomp a mud hole in you and get away with it. Let's not forget war as well.
So you tell me. Who has a monopoly on violence? The american people or its government?
That article must have driven those liberal idiots completly nuts.
