A "conservative" made the following claim: "Our constitution (unique in the world) specifies what our government is allowed to do. Everything else is forbidden unless our government receives the consent of the governed (that’s us)."Really? "forbidden unless our government receives the consent of the governed"? Where does the Constitution say that?
Ignoring the disgusting "our government" brainwasher's phrase, if that were true, then America truly is a democracy, and might (through superior numbers) makes "right". Anything is on the table as long as enough people consent to allow government to do it. Ban religion? Confiscate guns? Establish a new slave trade? Sure, if enough of the "governed" consent, the Constitution would allow it.
There would be nothing that's automatically beyond the power of the state if it can fool enough people to beg for it. Or make it look as though people are begging for it.
This is why "conservatives" are not on the side of liberty. They rarely understand it.
