Afraid of the people? There's a right way and a wrong way to deal with it

From The New York Times:

AKRON, Ohio, May 17 — A proposal by the city to build a parking garage within one foot of the federal courthouse in this city’s downtown has provoked a strong and uncommonly public reaction from some judges, who say it would allow potential terrorists to get dangerously close to their courtrooms.

The chief judge of the Federal District Court here, James G. Carr, and the chief judge of the District Bankruptcy Court, Randolph Baxter, warned in a letter to Mayor Donald L. Plusquellic that unless the city changed course, they would move their offices and courtrooms elsewhere.

The terrorists who want to attack federal courthouses are not al Qaeda. Al Qaeda wants to attack targets which represent that which makes America great, rich and powerful. That it why New York's financial district was targeted. The people who want to blow up the beehives of federal offices and courts contained in the average federal building are domestic terrorists.

I have always said that if the federal government wants to stop domestic terrorist attacks like Oklahoma City from happening again it only has to shrink itself back into the boundaries set by the Constitution. You know like it was back in 1810 when a person could be born, live his entire life and die at a ripe old age without ever having any contact with the federal government other than going to the post office to pick up his mail.

The federal government was designed to handle external relations, war and diplomacy, and act as a referee between the states to keep them from setting up internal barriers to trade and travel. If it would go back to doing that then the legitimate grievances against it would evaporate.

Of course the moonbats would still be pissed off that we are defending American interests in the Middle East or aren't doing enough to fight the global warming phantom or whatever else the left-wing cause of the day is, but they are moonbats and moonbats are always going to be angry over something silly so just ignore them (or change the law so that we can shoot them).
