on Joe miller's guards handcuffing a journalist

[acroyear]

Joe Miller's Brownshirts : Dispatches from the Culture Wars:

Glenn Greenwald asks the right question:

If it's not completely intolerable to have active-duty soldiers handcuffing American journalists on U.S. soil while acting as private "guards" for Senate candidates, what would be?

If you aren't bothered by what happened, you forfeit any right to talk grandly about how much you love the Constitution.

I think what this speaks to, more than partisanship or even Constitutionality, is the sad reality that an awful lot of Americans really DO want an Emperor and appointed ministers and troops to tell them what to do, all the time, every time. This "rule by the people" and "individual liberty" thing is just too much for 'em.
