[Vision2020] Totalitarian State: Bigotry Against Same Sex Couples & "War On Drugs" Attacks On The Fourth Amendment

[Ted Moffett]

The post below is an example of "hijacking" a thread on a list serve... If
someone wishes to discuss a topic different than the one in the subject
heading in the post they are responding to, start a new thread under a
different subject heading... I try to follow this simple rule.

Regarding making a major constitutional rights issue out of gun regulation
being a step on the road to a totalitarian state, it appears, from previous
posts, that the writer below does not think bigoted laws that block same sex
couples protections and privileges under the law (violations of the the
Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection clause), when those couples seek the
legal protections and privileges afforded heterosexual couples, is an
example of totalitarian state regulation worthy of making a fuss about.
Also, the writer has been ominously silent (or did I miss something?) about
totalitarian police state tactics in the "War On Drugs" undermining the
Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizure.  It
appears there are glaring inconsistencies in the thinking of this writer,
regarding what totalitarian tactics our government is engaged in, that they
will protest.

Perhaps the writer below defending gun rights can explain why they do not
demonstrate the same passion to defend extending legal protections to same
sex couples based on the Fourteenth Amendment, or to protest the erosion of
the Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizure,
which have been decimated in the irrational and politically motivate
propaganda campaigns involved in the "War On Drugs?"

Or do I misunderstand the biases of this writer?
