We’re “not getting anywhere” because folks like yourself have forgotten America’s first principles.
If you think unalienable rights can be decided by a majority vote you don’t understand the first thing about America.
I understand it, but the fact remains that THEY AREN’T DOING IT! Trying another way might be better. We the people can put it to a ballot and vote on it and ban it one state at a time and that is a lot better than what we have now. Sorry you are so blinded by your hate of Palin that you can’t get beyond that.
Now you’re being deliberately obtuse. Have a good day.
Yes, I knew that.
I’m not being obtuse. I’m being crystal clear with you. If you think God-given, unalienable rights are subject to a majority vote, you don’t really believe they’re God-given, you think they’re man-endowed, and you believe them to be therefore alienable. Unlike the founders of this free republic.
Which makes you, and Mrs. Palin, fundamentally democrats, not republicans, in the pure sense of those words.
Just like the southerners of the 1850s and 60s. They thought states’ rights trumped unalienable rights, too.
Stepehen A. Douglas Democrats. Yep.
Is that pointed enough for you?
Thanks for the ping Viking....I’ve been out of sorts for a while.
In way after the zot.....:(
