I've come to the conclusion that I hate the idea of "protection". The promise and desire to be protected has always been the means by which tyranny could spread. And it's not just SJW protection, it's all protection. In my opinion, and it's simply my opinion, protection seems to be a lost cause. I think we're better off abandoning the idea that the government should protect us, than trying to find ways to somehow justify the legitimacy of government.
I am not an anarchist, but I do think all protection services by the state and federal governments should definitely be left up to the market. I feel that if someone feels they need to be protected, they should pay for it. Just how it's not anyone's burden to feed you, clothe you, or pay for your college. It is also no someone else's burden to make sure you feel protected. If you feel you should be protected, then come out of your own pocket. But again, just my opinion.

So then I don't want to hear any complaints about letting terrorists into the country.

So then you think it's okay to have open borders and let terrorists in. I am by no ones a conservative, but essentially you are saying this is okay.

This thread topic is ridiculous.
Let them in. I guarantee they would lose. You have a nation of 300 million people all armed. I don't see them getting all that far. The idea that a handful of radical terrorist somehow a threat to a nation full of technologist, best athletes, best fighters, best marks men, and has the most guns per capita than ANYWHERE in the world is a threat is a stretch. And people almost never question this assumption.

You do realize that NO protection means no publicly funded military, police, or fire departments, right? Take that argument to its logical conclusion, and we may as well not have any government at all, just a bunch of individuals with private gangs protecting their estates, and constant warfare between these small factions; in essence a return to feudalism.

Yeah, no. I don't want Blackwater replacing taxpayer funded police. Especially since this means only rich people would get police protection. Hello, neofeudalism
Private security for the entire country? Is this real life???
Google the movie "Soylent Green". Only the wealthy could afford to have the police investigate crimes against them.
