Um, no…If you work for social change WITHOUT the mindless force of the govt --- than there's no mandate required. Just a lawful confirmation after the fact. My point was not that I like mandates and snapping of the fingers and National Guards at schools. It was that it's better to work for hearts and minds and social parity FIRST -- so that minimal "force" is required.
I think your point as a Libertarian is that the 1964 civil rights act was unnecessary, minorities should have just waited for state governments to grow a heart. Would that have taken 10, 20, 30 years?
Mind you, this is core as to why the Libertarian party will never be a national force, Americans disagree with you.
There are state governments today which have no heart, it could be another 50 years before they do.
This also raises an important point: that a civil right delayed is a civil right denied; indeed, to tell Americans they must ‘wait’ for their civil rights, or that they must attempt to secure through the political process that which is already theirs as a consequence of our rights being inalienable, is just as repugnant to the Constitution as seeking to deny citizens their rights through force of law.
Libertarian opposition to the CRA and other such necessary, proper, and Constitutional legislation is further evidence of the clueless naiveté that is the hallmark of their dogma.
And to be fair to libertarians, conservatives are just as wrong and ridiculous to believe that citizens must attempt to secure their inalienable rights through the political process, and if unable to realize their rights through the political process, simply ‘do without.’
That problem is/was NOT the Constitution.
Read Bennett Patterson's 1995 book, The Forgotten Ninth Amendment,.
The problem is the low life motherfuckers who have populated SCOTUS beginning with Roger B Taney.
I'm not reading an entire book to understand your personal fetishist and unpopular views on government.
Interesting
How is it that you know the Communist Manifesto inside out.?
I see, you don't have a point so it's time to accuse your opponent of Communism. In reality that is just another point for you to fail to prove.
