Nah, William Bennet was the drug czar I was thinking of erlier and he sure is not now. It is simply appointing someone to be a champion for some particular plan in hopes that he/she can get all the ducks in a row, sort of like herding cats.

So I don't love America? Depends on which America you mean. Let's just be safe and say I love the constitution and liberty.

Well, I'm not too hep on the term "Czar", but if they were to call 'em something else (I won't make any suggestions...but I've got a few) and not pay 'em, I have no complaints.

Does that mean the winning votes are ALWAYS the BEST leaders? Promises...promises...yeah...
True Americans love the country enough to continue it's traditions. If it was good enough for our founding fathers...the traditions should be for our children and grandchildren. The Constitution rules!!! Free speech rules!!! I remember when.....

Sadly I am not sure that the Constitution rules, SCOTUS recently ruled that expert witnesses must be present at the trial. This is supposedly in line with the Sixth Amendment, so how come they don't apply the same thinking to no-knock warrants?

Let me say it more clearly.
You advocate overthrowing the government of the United States by armed force.
You say you love the Constitution.
I was pointing out the Constituion specifically defines overthrowing the government of the United States as illegal. You can not love the Constitution if you want to commit treason against it.
Does that clear up your confusion?
