I find nothing extreme about this.
that is a pretty damned weak definition of "PROTECT rights"...

what you are saying is that the government exists to protect rights..except in instances wheresomebody else doesn't want to observe others rights, in which case the government exsts to protect THEIR right to ignore other's rights... right?


the purpose of government is to protect lunch counter owners from uppity coloured folk protesting the fact that those lunch counters refuse to serve them.... really?
